The holidays can be a little sweeter for Dolly Parton fans, courtesy of an Advent calendar from Williams Sonoma.

The Dolly Parton Advent calendar costs $39.95 and offers 24 individually wrapped hard and soft candies -- chocolates, caramels, gummies and mints -- that the company says are “some of Dolly’s favorites.”

The calendar measures 11 inches wide by 1 inch deep by 12 inches high, and has an illustration of Parton on the cover. The calendar works in the usual way -- flip open one of the little spaces to uncover a treat -- and as of Thursday, it’s still available online. (Specialty Advent calendars tend to sell out early, as a rule, and the country star’s fans are legion.)

Yes, there's a Dolly Parton Advent calendar, and you can get one from Williams Sonoma.

“Every day from the first of December until the night before Christmas, you’ll discover a different treat hidden behind one of the windows,” the Williams Sonoma website says.

Here are more details on the candies from the company’s website:

  • Red Poles: Chewy strawberry gummy straws filled with sweet crème.
  • Mini Butterflies: Colorful gummy butterflies in grape, strawberry, orange, blue raspberry, cherry and green apple flavors.
  • Starlight Mints: Classic peppermint hard candies with red-and-white swirls.
  • Champagne Bubbles: Gumdrops covered in crunchy white nonpareils.
  • Gold Stars: Creamy milk chocolate stars wrapped in shimmering gold foil.
  • Red Foil Balls: Cherry hard candy balls wrapped in red foil.
  • Sour Santas: Red-and-white sour cherry Santa gummies.
  • Twist Wrapped Caramels: Gooey, chewy caramels in festive foil wrappers.
  • Sugar Sanded Trees & Snowmen: Gummy trees and snowmen in wild cherry, green apple and strawberry-banana flavors, coated in crunchy sour snow.

Shipping rates vary, depending on the purchase price, destination and timing. From what we can tell, shipping for one calendar would be $8.99 standard, $34.99 next-day shipping, according to the website. Parton launched a holiday collection with Williams Sonoma in 2020. It includes aprons, a cookie-making set and more.

Advent calendars have been around for a long time, helping folks to count down the days until Christmas. Traditionally, the calendars have been geared to children, but adults have been getting in on the festivities with Advent calendars featuring everything from wine to beauty products to hot sauce.
