Sephora put a waitlist up in the summer and then went quiet, which is a very good way to get somebody refreshing a page every other day. It worked on me. The calendar's here now, and this year you can walk into a shop and buy one.
Can you buy the Sephora advent calendar in store?
Yes, from 8 September 2026, and that's the new part. Online it's a pre-order. Sephora's FAQ promises delivery by the end of November, and the product page says despatch is planned for 30 September. If you need it by a set date, buying in store is the certain route (I've been burned by a queue page before, so I'd go in).
Online delivery is UK mainland only, and it's one per order.
Is there a discount code for it?
No. Sephora's own terms say it can't be used with any promotion code, it doesn't come with the Beauty Bag free gift or samples, and it's excluded from gift wrap. Signing in as a My Sephora member still gets you free delivery and returns.
What's in it
The Sephora UK Advent Calendar 2026 is £235. There are 40 treats, 27 of them full size and 26 advent exclusives, and Sephora put the value at over £1,000. It has sold out four years running, so if you're set on it, don't take your time.
The full 40-product list is in my Sephora advent calendar post.
