Twisted Tea Brings Back 25 Days of Twistmas

Forget chocolate calendars. Twisted Tea has given the traditional advent calendar a spirited makeover with its 25 Days of Twistmas collection. Instead of finding a tiny chocolate behind each cardboard door, fans get a full-size tallboy can for every day of the countdown. Now that’s what I call getting into the Christmas spirit. In fact, it practically calls for a song: Oh Christmas twea, Oh Christmas twea, what I would do for theeee!

The calendar features 25 cans of Twisted Tea, bringing together familiar favourites such as Original, Half & Half, Peach and Raspberry. The collection also showcases the Twisted Tea Extreme lineup, adding another option for fans who enjoy the brand’s different varieties. It takes the familiar advent calendar idea and turns it into something much bigger, and considerably heavier.

Speaking of heavy, getting one of these boxes home might be a Christmas workout all by itself. Imagine trying to casually carry a package weighing nearly 45 pounds out of the mailroom, pretending this is perfectly normal holiday shopping. By the time you get it through the front door, you may have earned your Christmas dinner. Who needs a gym membership when your holiday countdown arrives in a box that requires serious lifting?

There is something amusing about the idea of replacing the usual little chocolates with a daily tallboy surprise. It certainly makes for a different kind of countdown, especially for fans who already enjoy Twisted Tea. And unlike the traditional advent calendar, this one is unlikely to disappear unnoticed on the kitchen counter. That enormous box is going to get a few questions.

Availability can vary by location, so fans outside the United States will want to check whether the collection is offered in their market. And one final word of advice: don’t leave this advent calendar under the Christmas tree for Santa. He’s already got a weakness for eggnog, and we all remember what happened to Grandma last Christmas. Let’s just say the reindeer had to finish the delivery route, Grandma needed a new set of wheels, and Santa was told to take the sleigh keys away from himself. The last thing he needs is 25 more reasons to celebrate!

Christmas comes in many forms. Sometimes it comes with 25 cans, a 45-pound delivery and a very good reason to keep Santa away from the keys.
