Do the cheese Advent calendars need to be refrigerated?
Yes, you will need to keep these cheese calendars chilled in the fridge. Most of the calendars are small enough to fit comfortably inside your fridge door, but make sure you clear some room to make sure before you order your cheesy Christmas treat.
If refrigerating is not an option, we recommend Cheesies Advent Calendar or the I'm Dreaming Of A Cheddar Cheesemas! as that does not need to be chilled.
