Hot sauce lovers, this one’s for you. Aldi has confirmed that its wildly popular Burman’s Flamin’ Holidays Advent Calendar will return in 2025 – and if past years are anything to go by, it won’t be hanging around on shelves for long.
Packed with 25 mini bottles of hot sauce in flavours ranging from mild and zesty to eye-watering heat, it has become something of a festive tradition for spice fans.
And at a budget-friendly price, it’s no wonder shoppers queue early to secure one.
The 2025 edition landed in stores on 5 November, priced at around £14.99 (regional variations may apply).
Whether you're gifting, collecting, or planning to add a fiery kick to December dinners, this calendar is shaping up to be one of the season’s most fun foodie countdowns.

Stock levels for limited-edition items can change quickly, and availability is not guaranteed. Always check your local Aldi store or official website for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Why This Calendar Sells Out Every Year
Aldi’s advent calendar drops have quietly become a holiday event in their own right. From cheese to candles to wine, the supermarket has a knack for turning everyday treats into festive must-haves.
But the Flamin’ Holidays hot sauce calendar has become the cult favourite – especially among those who like their food with a kick.
In previous years, some stores saw queues before opening, and staff even distributed tickets to manage demand.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone – Aldi doesn’t tend to restock these seasonal calendars, making launch day your best shot.
Inside the box, you’ll find 25 different hot sauces, each tucked behind a date window to spice up every day leading to Christmas.
There are herby, tangy, smoky and fruity flavours, plus the one everyone talks about: the ghost pepper bottle.
It’s earned a reputation for being seriously hot – and a bit of a badge of honour among fans.
How to Make Sure You Get One
If you’re determined not to miss out this year, here’s the move:
• Mark Wednesday 5 November in your calendar
• Arrive early at your local Aldi – many calendars sell out before lunchtime
• Check your regional Aldi leaflet ahead of launch to confirm availability
• While some stores may offer delivery or click-and-collect, shopping in person gives you the best chance
And here’s a tip from seasoned Aldi advent-hunters: grab an extra! These make brilliant stocking fillers, Secret Santa gifts, or table-drop surprises for friends who claim nothing is ever “too spicy”.
With another year of excitement building, the Flamin’ Holidays Advent Calendar looks set to remain a festive favourite.
Whether you’re a chilli fanatic or simply love a countdown that keeps things interesting, this fiery box is the most fun way to heat up the season.
