For today’s Advent selection I’m considering cider, and for a festive option we’re travelling to England to visit Lilley’s Cider, which offers a variety of holiday-themed ciders that you can browse in its online Christmas Shop. In particular, I’ve picked the company’s Santa Cider to feature today, of which Lilley’s says:

Santa’s elves have been busy blending a rich and warming rustic cider bursting with apple flavour, cloudy and medium sweet.

How could you not want a cider named for Santa Claus for Christmas? It’s a medium-sweet, still cider with 6% alcohol by volume, and is of course gluten free and vegan. It’s not spiced like some of the other holiday offerings (Mulled Cider, Gingerbread Cider) but it’s the strongest of them, and will bring some holiday cheer to your glass.

Of course you don’t have to just have Santa Cider, because Lilley’s has something even better: a 2023 Cider Advent Calendar of its own! (Naturally you know I had to include that here!) Only this one contains actual bottles of cider:

24 x 500ml Bottles & additional exclusive items all tucked away in the ultimate cider advent calendar.

Behind each shutter door lies 24 flavours of delicious Lilley’s Cider. Award winning cider from rustic & rough to fruity & flavourful, you’ll be sure to find the most scrumptious cider to enjoy this festive season.

This is only available within the mainland UK but it’s a great idea and a great way to sample all of the company’s seasonal (and regular) ciders and have a great time doing it. Cheers!
