Hallmark Wine Advent Calendar returns with 24 new mini bottles

The 2026 Hallmark Wine Advent Calendar is now shipping for the holiday season, featuring 24 all-new mini bottles and a built-in gifting setup. The return comes after last year’s sellout and targets shoppers looking for an easy holiday gift that starts December 1.

Why it matters: - The Hallmark Wine Advent Calendar is back after selling out last year, signaling strong demand for a holiday product built around daily tasting and gifting. - The 24-day format gives shoppers a ready-made countdown from December 1 through Christmas Eve. - The calendar is positioned as a holiday gift for wine drinkers, hosts and office exchanges.

What happened: - Wines That Rock, under license from Hallmark, began shipping the 2026 Hallmark Wine Advent Calendar. - The calendar includes 24 all-new mini bottles of red, white, rosé and sparkling wine. - The wines span growing regions in Argentina, Australia, California, Chile, France and New Zealand. - The 187ml bottles are sized for one generous glass or two small pours.

The details: - Each day pairs a bottle with a classic holiday activity, including movie nights, cookie baking and evenings with family and friends. - The calendar is available at hallmarkchannelwines.com for $129.99, down from a regular price of $149.99. - Ground shipping is included in the price. - Buyers can mark the order as a gift at checkout, add a personal message printed inside the box and send tracking updates to the recipient. - The company says the calendar is a fit for Friendsgiving hosts, office gift exchanges, stocking stuffers and wine lovers who already have everything. - Order-by date: Nov. 18 for December delivery timing.

Between the lines: - The product leans hard into Hallmark’s holiday brand identity, pairing wine with traditions, rituals and nostalgia instead of focusing only on the bottles. - The gift-message and tracking features are designed to make the calendar easier to send directly to someone else. - Heather Hudson, COO of Wines That Rock, said fans have made the calendar part of their holiday tradition and expects it to sell out again.
