I must admit that I’m one of those people who easily becomes jealous of gifts — even when I’m the one shopping for them. I can’t count how many times I’ve bought a makeup product, dessert, or candle for a loved one and subsequently gone back to buy the same item for myself. I’ve reined in that impulse as I’ve gotten older, but there are still some gifts that are too good to pass up — especially if they’re limited-edition holiday releases. One seasonal drop that I know I’d be jealous of is the 12 Days of Murray’s Cheese advent calendar. In case you’re not familiar with the Murray’s Cheese brand, our editors have long been fans of its beautiful charcuterie bundles for gifting. Now for a limited time, the brand has brought back its ever-popular advent calendar. We’re certain it won’t stay in stock for long, so check it out, and snag it for the cheese-lover in your life. And just so you don’t get jealous, snag one for yourself, too.

What Is the 12 Days Of Murray’s Cheese Advent Calendar?

For $78, you get an impressive quantity of goods when you buy this advent calendar. It might only last for 12 days, but it comes with everything your giftee could possibly need for a proper cheese spread. That includes nine full-sized cheeses from around the world, four jams exclusive to Murray’s Cheese, and two packs of crackers. The cheeses are portioned into 3- to 5-ounce sizes, and they hail from France, Spain, Italy, England, and Ireland. Your friend can snack on a different one every day, whether it’s a mild Gouda or a tangy Manchego. The calendar ships in an insulated box and needs to be refrigerated upon reception. Of course, the person who receives it can open each slot day by day and nibble as they go, but we would recommend saving a little bit of everything for the end in order to mix and match different cheese and jam pairings. While they do so, the charmingly illustrated calendar box can serve as a piece of festive decor on their countertop.
