Rituals Advent Calendar 2026: 24 body and wellness treats in a festive townhouse
The Rituals Advent Calendar 2026 arrives in a completely new shape this season: a tall townhouse in red brick, snow-dusted, with lit windows. It’s a clear break from last year’s wreath. Behind its 24 doors sit body oils, shower gels, hair care, mini candles and two full-size products, all from Rituals’ Asian-inspired wellness ranges.
Body enthusiasts who love rotating between Sakura, Karma, Jing and Ayurveda will find plenty here. Two products out of 24 are full size; the rest are miniatures and travel formats.
The spirit of Rituals
Rituals was founded in Amsterdam in 2000 on one idea: turn everyday routines into meaningful rituals, drawing on traditions from Asia. Each range takes its name from a philosophy or a place, from the energising Sakura to the calming Jing. This Classic calendar is the brand’s broadest introduction to that range. It’s the entry point, not the complete experience.
What’s inside the Rituals Advent Calendar 2026?
The 24 cases cover six families. Body is the clear focus: 4 body oils, 5 body creams, scrubs and masks, 2 shower gels, 2 hair and body mists, and 4 mini scented candles (25g each). Hair care gets a pair: the brand-new Scalp Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner (70ml each), which replace last year’s Hydrating duo and the Keratin Mask. Facial care is minimal: one 3-in-1 Micellar Water (30ml) and one Deep Cleansing Volcanic Clay Mask (10g), new for 2026.
The two full-size pieces sit in cases 15 and 19: The Ritual of Jing 48h Anti-Perspirant Cream (50ml) and The Ritual of Jing Hand & Foot Mask (70ml). Everything else runs between 10g and 75ml, and there’s a fabric Scrub Glove in case 10.
Rituals puts the total content value at £166.90. Against the £103 launch price, that works out at roughly £4.29 per case.

✳️ 2026 vs 2025: what’s changed
The most visible change is the box. Last year’s calendar was a wreath, flat and circular; the 2026 edition is a standing townhouse inspired by Amsterdam’s canal houses, red brick with snow on the sills, and it holds its shape as a decorative object.
Inside, the hair pair is refreshed: the Scalp Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner replace the Hydrating duo and the Elixir Keratin Mask. Two candles are new, Velvet Oudh and Mystic Cedar (both Private Collection), joining returning Love and Gratitude and replacing Cashmere Rose and Hibiscus Dream. Body oil fans gain the Sakura Super Dry Body Oil and the Yozakura Shimmering Body Oil, while a Volcanic Clay Mask and a Yozakura Creamy Foaming Shower Gel also join. The two Jing full-size products and the 24-door count stay, and the content value edges up slightly year on year.
✳️ My take on the Rituals Advent Calendar 2026
Two full-size products in 24 is the number to keep in mind: 8.3% at full scale, the pattern for the Classic edition across several seasons. The minis are good quality, and a couple (the 70ml Shower Oil, the 70ml Whipped Body Cream) sit at the generous end. But anyone hoping half the box could go straight into their routine will be disappointed.
The other thing to flag: this is a body calendar with almost no facial skincare, two products in 24 (a micellar water and a clay mask). Women who use their calendar to rebuild a face routine will find the Classic a poor fit; those who want to layer body oils, work through a week of shower gels and try four candle fragrances will enjoy it. What it does best is range breadth: five collections in one box, a proper introduction for someone new to Rituals. As one regular customer put it after the 2025 edition: ‘I already owned half these formulas, but the new scents kept it interesting.’
- What will put people off: only 2 full-size products; very limited facial skincare (2 of 24); everything else is minis and travel sizes.
- What makes it worth the price for the right buyer: five Rituals collections in one box; two Private Collection candles; a genuinely decorative townhouse; £166.90 of stated value against a £103 price.
