Fly by Jing Dropped a Advent Calendar with Mini Jars of Its Best Sauces

I love giving and receiving Advent calendars during the holiday season. One thing I’ve learned is that you have to grab the good ones early, or else you’ll miss out. Case in point: the Fly by Jing Limited Edition Advent Calendar, which sold out in mid-October last year. Fortunately it made a huge return in 2025, and there’s still time to snag one (or two) for yourself or a loved one! I had the opportunity to check it out early, and it’s easily one of the best Advent calendars for foodies that you can buy.

Fly by Jing’s limited-edition 2025 Advent calendar offers 12 days of spices, condiments, and more flavorful surprises from the brand known for its bestselling Sichuan chili crisp. The calendar includes popular Fly by Jing chili sauces, in addition to never-before-tasted flavors and returning favorites — all of which are vegan. It arrives as a highly decorative box that’s gorgeous on its own, with images of pandas. One reviewer says, “My best friend and I take turns sending each other Advent calendars, and this is such a fun way to mix things up this year and stock up their pantry for a couple weeks!”

Although the holiday Advent calendar runs for 12 days, you don’t have to wait until December 12 to open it. In fact, thanks to the savory contents, you might even want to start at the beginning of December and open one compartment every other day so you can use the day in between to try a recipe with your new Fly by Jing find. The brand notes that it’s “The perfect spicy Advent calendar gift for anyone who loves Chinese flavors, spicy food, or experimenting in their kitchen.”

As someone who’s known about Fly by Jing for years but never tried it firsthand, this Advent calendar was the perfect introduction for me. Not only does it include the Sichuan chili crisp, but the calendar also features a solid variety of spices, toppings, and more that instantly elevate my pantry offerings. It’s incredibly versatile: Some items are used for food prep, while others make delicious finishers. It even gave me the opportunity to try out the brand’s noodles that I’ve heard so much about! (For what it’s worth, the Advent calendar also smells amazing as you’re opening the panels.)
