2026 Advent Boxes Q&A

The 2026 Advent Boxes launch on Friday, November 6th at 12PM ET on pennylinn.com. Many of you already know how the Advent Boxes work, but here are answers to the questions we hear most ahead of launch.

How much does it cost?

The 24-Day Box is $695. The 12-Day Box is $395.

What time is the launch?

12PM ET on Friday, November 6th.

Will there be early access on the Penny Linn app?

No! Everyone gets the same opportunity to purchase the boxes at 12PM ET on Friday, November 6th, whether you shop on our website or app!

I really want this year’s box. How can I make sure I get one?

We suggest being on pennylinn.com at launch time. As long as you are on at 12PM ET on Friday, November 6th, you should be able to get one, but no guarantees!

NoteWe have double the number of boxes we had last year!

What’s in the boxes?

These boxes are meant to be a surprise! So if you hate surprises, these boxes may not be for you. But if you like the Penny Linn aesthetic, you should love these boxes! Each box has its own motif: the 24-Day is non-denominational and the 12-Day is Christmas themed. The items in each box are almost entirely different from the other.

24-Day Box
3 canvases, threads, accessories, and a bunch of surprises.
12-Day Box
1 canvas, threads, accessories, and some different surprises.

Are the canvases beginner friendly?

The canvases in the 24-Day Box are beginner friendly, though the canvas in the 12-Day Box is more intricate.

Will there be gift cards in the boxes this year?

Yes, every box will include a gift card! And this year, one lucky person from each box will receive a "Golden Gift Card" worth $500!

Will it be full of Christmas things, or more general with something for everyone?

24-Day Box
Nothing in the 24-Day Box is holiday themed. The theme is hearts.
12-Day Box
The 12-Day Box is Christmas themed.

Will there be thread?

Yes, each canvas will come fully kitted with threads from various fun thread lines!

When will it be shipped?

This year’s boxes are pre-packed and start shipping the week of Monday, November 9th (for orders placed on launch day, Friday, November 6th), hopefully arriving for everyone before Thanksgiving travel. We kindly ask that you don’t spoil the boxes on social media until after Black Friday!

NoteInternational shipping will take longer.

Do I open it all at once?

We think it’s more fun to treat it like a true advent calendar and open one item a day along with everyone else, but it’s up to you!
