Part of being a kid at the holidays is opening the doors on an advent calendar and getting the yummy chocolate that is found beneath the doors.  When you grow up, of course you can still participate in the chocolate goodness, but what I found at Costco yesterday seems a lot more fun.

These are advent calendars for adults.  There is a wine one and also a beer one, depending on what you like.  The beers are all unique- a "Brewers" advent calendar.  Basically a craft beer type selection.  The wine selection is unique as well. It's a "Wine advent-ure".  The wines are from all over the world.  If you are wanting to try some new and different wines and beers just to see if you would like them, this is a great way to do that.  It's like going to a brewery and a winery without leaving your house.  Variety packs are always the way to go, in my opinion.

Things at Costco sometimes are "buy now or they will be gone" situations.  So, if you happen to plan to go to Costco for whatever reason, make sure to swing by the liquor store and pick one or more of these up.  They would make great gifts for holiday parties.  I won't tell if you decide you want to try more than one at a time instead of waiting for each day in the month of December to pass.  In fact, it doesn't even have to be December.  Try it now!  No one's looking... or judging.  It's great to get together with friends and family and try new things and see which ones are good and which ones are a definite "hard pass".

Happy Holidays!

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
