While many of us continue to enjoy the summer heat, outdoor events and gardening, loads are looking towards the cooler seasons already – and B&M has already launched some Christmas items in stores
While many of us are still loving the British summer time heat, outdoor fun, festivals and more, a lot of people are already counting down to the autumn and winter seasons. From Pumpkin Spiced Lattes coming to coffee shops to homeware stores launching autumnal items for our homes, many cannot wait for the leaves to fall and Halloween to hit. However some planners are already thinking about Christmas 2025 as B&M launches festive products in store, four months in advance.
Typically, advent calendars start to show up in shops around mid-September. However, B&M Bargains has jumped the gun and shoppers recently spotted a range of the countdown Christmas calendars in stores.
Popular food social media page, New Foods UK, shared what’s on offer after spotting a Kinder Bueno advent calendar, a Swizzels Squashies advent calendar, and a Haribo ‘glow in the dark’ advent calendar. Also available to buy is a Christmas eve chocolate treat box, as well as a range of Christmas biscuits.
Speaking about the Squashies calendar, one individual said: “Will be checking my local one today! Spotted it once last year then when I went back for it, all gone, checked so many stores.”

Another wrote: “B&M in Peterborough have loads of all sorts. I’m glad there out yes it’s early and I made my life choices and had eight kids I work and three grandkids so this helps me loads. Be prepared. Also love love love Christmas.”
Someone else said: “We were in our B&M the other day discussing what advent calendar to get this year!” “This is your three month reminder,” said another as they tagged a friend.
“Omg yes this is a need,” said one other. “My calendar of choice this year,” commented another about the Kinder Bueno calendar.
But other people were left frustrated by how early the advent calendars have come out.
Another individual noted: “Hate to be ‘that person’ but these being brought out in August/September just makes the Christmas season less enjoyable when it eventually comes around.” One other agreed: “But things out far to early it spoils all the fun for Christmas.”
Another said: “It’s August. We’re still in summer, we haven’t even had Halloween yet.” One other added: “Omg haven’t even got summer out the way yet.”
“No too early, let us enjoy the summer,” said one other. “It’s too early,” commented another.
According to B&M’s website, the advent calendars are not available to buy online but can be found in stores around the UK.
