The European market has been doing custom advent calendars filled with various functional foods and protein snacks for several years, something the Swedish legend Barebells got involved in a couple of years ago in 2022. Last year, the category-leading company stepped things up, and not only did it make its second Christmas calendar, it also brought it to the US. The version we got here was a bit different from the one in Sweden; however, that is to be expected as you get a much wider variety in its local region.
Barebells recently released its 2024 advent calendar, once again in Sweden as well as a few other major markets in Europe, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and neighboring Denmark. The brand did say it would have a separate one once again for America, and this week that item arrived, although if you blinked, you may have missed it. Barebells was taking sign-ups to be notified as soon as its US advent calendar became available, and in the last couple of days it dropped but almost instantly sold out.
We’re not sure if Barebells is doing a restock and more comprehensive launch of its 2024 advent calendar, although, at the very least, we have details on what’s in it. Like the European one, it has 24 different windows, one for each day of December leading up to Christmas Day. Inside each of those windows is a full-size protein bar taken from the catalog the brand has available in America, including Salty Peanut, Creamy Crisp, and White Chocolate Amond for the Barebells Protein Bar, and the Soft Protein Bar in the likes of Minty Chocolate, Caramel Choco, and the mouthwatering Salted Peanut Caramel.
The advent calendar is a must-have for fans of Barebells and its delicious protein-packed snacks, but with that said, if it doesn’t restock and you completely missed out, there aren’t any flavors in there that you haven’t already had. That is not the case with the one over in Europe, where you are meant to get experiences that are exclusive, special editions, and unavailable. We’ll be sure to share details if the advent calendar becomes available again, or keep an eye on shop.barebells.com and have $59.99 ready to order one.
