Twenty-Four Small Doors, and This Year the Early Shopper Gets the First Bite

The food advent calendars for 2026 are already on sale, with the first of December still two months off. Eater has put together a guide to this year's best, and it comes from a simple idea: in a month spent buying for everyone else, one gift can be kept for the person who opens the little door each morning. From a kitchen counter in Naples to a pantry shelf in Aspen, the routine is the same. Open one small window before coffee and eat one small thing, every morning until the 24th.
