If you love the countdown to Christmas almost as much as you love the big day itself, then it's likely you've already been on the lookout for 2023's best Advent calendars. Whether you've found the most unique calendar filled with jewelry or socks, the perfect food Advent calendar full of your favorite snacks, or have been saving up for the ultimate beauty Advent calendar to keep you primed for party season, the choice can be overwhelming.

Yet, if you feel like a gift-a-day throughout December is a bit much before Christmas day itself or leaves you feeling deflated in the limbo between the festive day and New Year's Eve, then fear no more. The beauty haven that is Sephora has launched an After Advent Calendar, designed to keep you feeling your best during the in-between week of the festive period.

It makes a great holiday present for your mom, sister, or best friend. For $30, it gives seven days of coveted skin-care gifts to provide some R&R during that week of vacation, as well as a few glam pick-me-ups to get you prepped for New Year's Eve. And, we have to admit, it's actually kind of genius. Usually, by the time Christmas Day rolls around, we're exhausted from socializing and eating, so that week is when we could use some self-care most of all. Plus, it keeps the holiday magic going during those awkward what day is it? moments.

Sephora Collection After Advent Calendar ($30)

If you're wondering what an After Advent Calendar actually is, it's pretty self-explanatory. This treat offers seven additional windows to be opened from December 25 to 31 so you or your recipient can prolong the Christmas magic.

Included are 11 products from the retailer's own brand, the Sephora Collection. Some boxes contain more than one product, spanning self-care and makeup. From the anti-fatigue and anti-dark circle pomegranate eye masks to the satin-finish lipstick and face and nail rhinestones perfect for ringing in the new year, it really is the gift that keeps on giving. If you never want Christmas to end, this needs to be on your wishlist.
