Fly By Jing Doubles Its Bestselling Advent Calendar for 2026 with Its First-Ever 24-Day Edition

After selling out by Nov. 5 two years in a row, Fly By Jing expands its viral hot sauce Advent Calendar into a 24-day experience and a refreshed 12-day edition

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Fly By Jing, the brand known for bold, transformational flavors inspired by the soul of Sichuan, is taking its bestselling Advent Calendar to the next level. For the first time ever, Fly By Jing is launching a 24-Day Advent Calendar, doubling the countdown from its original 12-day format and expanding the experience beyond food with exclusive home, lifestyle, and collectible items. The all-new 24-Day edition joins a completely refreshed 12-Day Advent Calendar for 2026, marking Fly By Jing’s biggest holiday countdown yet.

After selling out by November 5th two years in a row, the first and only Advent Calendars inspired by the flavors of Sichuan – and made entirely in Sichuan – now have even more to discover. Both models feature exclusive, never-before-launched products and fan favorites that bring a refreshingly savory spin to a category dominated by sweets, alongside festive surprises like premium tableware and collectibles.

• 24 Days of Flavor Advent Calendar ($175): Fly By Jing’s first-ever 24-day Advent Calendar, doubling the countdown and taking its bestselling holiday tradition to a whole new level. Behind each door are calendar-exclusive and never-before-launched products, including premium home and lifestyle pieces like limited-edition chopsticks, panda chopstick rests, and a collectible holiday ornament. The calendar also features Fly By Jing favorites, like Sichuan Chili Crisp and their bestselling sun-dried sourdough-style noodles. Everything is housed in an ultra-premium, gold-foil-wrapped box covered in giant pandas—an ode to Sichuan—that doubles as holiday decor. It’s the brand’s biggest and most indulgent Advent Calendar yet, bringing together bold flavor, entertaining, and festive keepsakes in one display-worthy, interactive experience.

• 12 Days of Flavor Advent Calendar ($98): The calendar that started it all returns with a completely refreshed assortment for 2026. The 12-day edition features exclusive, never-before-launched products and a collectible holiday ornament alongside signature sauces, noodles, and unexpected treats made specifically for the season. It’s all wrapped up in vibrant red, holiday sweater-inspired packaging adorned with giant pandas.

The popularity of Advent Calendars has continued to rise, fueled in part by consumers’ love of little treats and miniatures. Adults are now the fastest-growing group of Advent Calendar shoppers, expanding at 7.8% annually as self-gifting and gifting among friends and colleagues turn the once kid-centric tradition into a decidedly grown-up ritual. That shift has opened the door to more premium, food-focused Advent Calendars, moving beyond chocolate and candy to offer products with new flavors, indulgent treats, and a little daily excitement.

This year, Fly By Jing is putting its Sichuan spin on the tradition with a daily dose of transformational flavor and fun. With something for home cooks, heat seekers, hot sauce lovers, and holiday enthusiasts alike, both calendars are made for gifting or keeping entirely for yourself.

The Fly By Jing Advent Calendars are available for preorder now and are expected to sell out quickly. Secure yours early at flybyjing.com while supplies last to join this year’s holiday countdown.
