Bonne Maman Advent Calendar 2026: 23 jars of jam, caramel and spread behind 24 windows
The Bonne Maman Advent Calendar 2026 counts down to Christmas with 24 windows: 23 miniature jars to eat plus one collector’s Christmas surprise behind the final door. This is the New Limited Edition, and the 23 treats break down as 18 jams and fruit preparations, 2 caramels and 3 hazelnut & cocoa spreads. Twenty jars hold 30 g each, the three spreads come in 25 g pots, so most mornings bring a proper spoonful to spread on toast.
What makes this gourmet advent calendar worth a second look is the fruit-preparation line-up. Alongside familiar jams like Wild Berry and Mirabelle Plum, Bonne Maman has slipped in genuinely unusual pairings: Mango & Ylang-Ylang, Lemon & Lavender, Grapefruit & Dragon Fruit, Blueberry & Lemon Balm and Pineapple & Lemon Verbena. Every jar follows the brand’s simple French recipes, with no colourings and no preservatives. It contains milk and hazelnuts.
Contents and value of the Bonne Maman Advent Calendar
The count is the same wherever you look: 24 windows, 23 jars to open plus 1 Christmas surprise. The jars sit in a triptych box you open one at a time, and the split is 18 jams and fruit preparations, 2 milk caramels, 3 hazelnut & cocoa spreads. What sets this food advent calendar apart is that almost every window is a different recipe: the only thing repeated is the Hazelnut & Cocoa Spread, which arrives as three separate 25 g pots, so you are never opening the same jam twice. The signature Strawberry Jam with Madagascar Vanilla is here too.
Bonne Maman does not publish a total value for the box, and the mini jars are not sold on their own, so any figure would be guesswork. What can be said is honest: 675 g of jam, caramel and spread across the 23 pots, which works out at roughly £3.85 per 100 g against the £26 launch price, or about £1.13 a jar. That is dearer than a standard 370 g Bonne Maman jar gram for gram, so what you pay for is the format, the recipe variety and the daily countdown.

What has changed since the previous Bonne Maman calendar
The format holds steady: 24 windows, 23 jars plus a surprise, £26 launch price, the same triptych box as before. The recipes are where the 2026 edition moves the most. Flavours that carried earlier calendars, Raspberry & Lychee, Fig with Cardamom, Pineapple with Rum & Vanilla and Peach & Blackcurrant with Sichuan Pepper, are gone.
In their place come seven standout fruit preparations: Mango & Ylang-Ylang, Lemon & Lavender, Grapefruit & Dragon Fruit, Blueberry & Lemon Balm, Pineapple & Lemon Verbena, Raspberry & Dark Chocolate and Apple, Quince & Honey. If you bought the calendar last year, the box on the shelf looks identical but most of what is inside it is new, which is the main reason to buy it again.
My verdict on the Bonne Maman Advent Calendar 2026
What convinces me first is the honesty of the format. Twenty-three real jars, a full 30 g pot most mornings, and recipes that genuinely differ from one door to the next. The Raspberry & Dark Chocolate and the Lemon & Lavender are the sort of thing you would never buy as a full jar and are glad to meet in miniature.
Where it gives me pause is the value question. At roughly £3.85 per 100 g you pay a clear premium over a standard jar, and Bonne Maman keeps quiet on any headline value, so you are buying the experience, not a bargain. As I put it: ‘you are paying for the parade of flavours, not the weight of jam, and on that score it delivers’. Fans of fine preserves will find it worth the money; anyone chasing value per gram should look elsewhere.
- Not for: young children, anyone with a milk or hazelnut allergy, or shoppers judging strictly on price per gram.
- Worth it for: breakfast lovers and curious foodies who want 18 jams, 2 caramels and 3 spreads they cannot easily buy any other way.
