The holiday season is almost here – shops are full to the brim with crackers, wrapping paper and toys, children are sending off their letters to the North Pole and cities across the world are beginning to put up their trees and decorations.
Surely one of the best parts of Christmas is getting an advent calendar and counting down the days until Christmas. But gone are the days where advent calendars were just for children and full of cheap chocolate. Oh ho ho no. There are some new contenders in town! Here are the Talent Management reviews for our top five advent calendars for 2013…

The popular make-up brand Benefit have launched their very own limited edition beauty calendar for 2013 called ‘Count Down To Love’. It is filled with 24 fun and flattering beauty treasures!
