3 of 6Mini Welsh Cheese Advent Calendar
If you are a big fan of Welsh cheese, you will be obsessed with this cheese advent calendar. We recommend the mini version of this calendar (51cm wide, 32.5cm tall and 11cm deep) as you will need to clear a bit of fridge space to keep the cheese chilled. If this is not possible, you can open it to remove the cheese without damaging the box. It comes with six different award-winning flavours to look forward to every day.

6 of 6Paxton & Whitfield Artisan Cheese Advent Calendar 2022
This beautifully put-together Artisan Cheese Advent Calendar by Paxton & Whitfield is the perfect gift for anyone who loves a little bit of luxury.

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.
