DIY Boozy Advent Calendar Ideas for Christmas
How can it be approaching December already? While you’re busy planning Halloween costumes and checking off everyone else’s Christmas lists, it’s time to carve out a little something special just for you. This year, why not create your own personalized boozy advent calendar that’s completely tailored to your taste?
I’ve curated the best reusable wooden racks, boxes, and display frames that you can fill with your favorite alcoholic treats year after year. You’ll find options for traditional 24-day countdowns as well as 12-day advent calendars—(not sure which is right for you? Check out our guide on the difference between the two!)
The beauty of a DIY advent calendar is the freedom—stock it with craft beer samplers, mini wine bottles, premium spirit miniatures, or mix it up with a little bit of everything. These gorgeous structures aren’t just functional; they become part of your holiday decor, adding festive charm to your kitchen or bar cart throughout December. Plus, they’re incredibly budget-friendly since you can shop sales and choose exactly what you want to sip each evening.
