If there’s anything we all need to round off the year, it’s a plentiful supply of chocolate and some festive cheer. And with such great milk-free advent calendars on offer, there’s no reason you should be missing out.
We’ve put together a round-up of vegan advent calendars that are perfect for all the family – vegan or not. As always, they are registered with the Vegan Trademark so you can shop with the peace of mind that we’ve ensured they’re suitable for vegans.
Moo Free Original ‘Milk’ Chocolate Advent
Moo Free’s fun-packed, free-from advent calendars are great for kids and adults alike. With new shapes behind the doors, there’s a surprise for every day. The Original ‘Milk’ Chocolate Advent Calendar is perfect for milk chocolate loving dairy dodgers. In addition to being vegan, it’s dairy free, gluten free and soya free.

Moo Free White Chocolate Advent
In 2020, Moo Free developed their now much-loved dairy-free white chocolate, which they’ve now popped into an advent calendar for white chocolate fans! Again, they’re dairy free, gluten free and soya free so no one has to miss out.

Moo Free Organic Advent
If you like your chocolate organic chocolate, then the Organic Advent Calendar is just the thing for you. Filled with Moo Free’s multi award-winning, organic, gluten free, soya free, dairy free "milk" chocolate, it only contains 39% sugar (compared with the 55-60% in their regular milk chocolate). The organic chocolate is made using high-quality, ethically sourced, ingredients including the finest, single origin organic cocoa from plantations in the Dominican Republic. It’s then combined with unrefined, organic cane sugar and organic rice powder to produce a velvety smooth, milk chocolate flavour that melts in the mouth.
Available at Sainsbury’s, Lidl, Aldi and Moo Free’s website.
All the trays used in Moo Free’s advent calendars are not only made from recycled material, but you can recycle them again along with the rest of the packaging. The factories where the calendars are made send 0% waste to landfill and Moo Free’s team includes several amazing people with autism.
