Venchi Prestige Christmas Advent Calendar – Vintage Dream, 31 Italian Chocolates

Count down to Christmas the Italian way. The Venchi Prestige Advent Calendar from Venchi's 2026 Vintage Dream Christmas collection holds 31 assorted Venchi chocolates hidden in small numbered drawers. Open one each day of Advent and find a new Italian chocolate inside.

The chocolates include Venchi favorites like Chocoviar Stracciatella, Cremino 1878, and milk Granblend. Each one is individually wrapped and made in Italy by Venchi, the Turin chocolate maker founded in 1878.

The box is the gift too. Its nostalgic Vintage Dream Christmas artwork makes it a piece of holiday decor on a mantel, sideboard, or kitchen counter all through December. When the chocolates are gone, the drawers can be refilled year after year, so it becomes a family Christmas tradition.

Venchi: Turin, Italy, since 1878. In 1878, 20-year-old Silviano Venchi spent his savings on two bronze cauldrons and began making chocolate in a small shop on Via degli Artisti in Turin's Vanchiglia neighborhood. His Nougatine, caramelized Piedmont hazelnuts coated in extra-dark chocolate, made Venchi famous, and the company became a "Purveyor to the Royal Household." Today Venchi is known around the world for Chocoviar, Cremino, and Gianduiotto.
