Gluten Free Advent Calendar Round Up 2022

Share this page:

I always have fun writing this gluten free advent calendar guide and it definitely gets me in the Christmas spirit. There are some CORKERS on the market again this year, which is so exciting to see. There are loads of gluten and dairy free options too.

Every year the selection of gluten free advent calendars increases and there is now some very impressive variety. Whether you are simply gluten free or have additional dietary requirements, dairy free or vegan, there’s a calendar here for you!

This is a round up of gluten free advent calendars available in the UK (sorry international readers) but some may be available in other countries too, however please double check the gluten free status in case ingredients are different.

What Do You Count as Being a Gluten Free Advent Calendar?

I have not included any calendars with a “may contain gluten/wheat” warning, as in my opinion these do not count as being safely gluten free for coeliacs like me.

If you are not coeliac or are less sensitive, there will be a few extra calendars in supermarkets with may contain warnings.

Allergens Listed

Right, let’s get to this round up. All the calendars featured here are gluten free, listed in ascending price order. First we have a gluten free advent calendar section, then a gluten and dairy free section, of which there are some delicious choices available this year.

I’ve noted allergen information for each calendar, where available, but please always double check when you buy. Just in case online information was not accurate or in case I have made a mistake. I am only human, but I try my best!
