Everything inside Liberty's beauty advent calendar 2025 – and where to pre-order now
We might be in the height of summer, but Liberty's advent calendar is already taking pre-orders for Christmas. 2025 marks 150 years of Liberty London, and the famed Regent Street department store is marking it with what could be its best-ever beauty advent calendar. The retailer's 25-day edit is – and has always been – a masterclass in luxury gifting, recognised for its collection of exceptional cosmetics from up-and-coming and established brands. Of course, there are sure to be more affordable advent offerings on the horizon, and plenty of brands across make-up and skincare like Sephora, Asos, and M&S will announce their Christmas collections in the coming months. Then again, Liberty is high on most beauty buffs' priority lists. This year, Liberty's prestigious calendar is worth more than £1,245. That's a £45 increase on 2024's offering and includes an extra two products and an additional two full sizes. For context, that's 30 items total, 20 of which are full-size, versus 28 total and 18 full-size last Christmas. There's make-up, skincare, fragrance, haircare and bodycare, and, as always, there's the chance to win one of 15 hidden £1,000 vouchers. That's another huge upgrade on 2024, as you're three times as likely to get lucky. Pre-orders open today, 2 July, for select customers (details below), so I've done some digging on everything you've got to look forward to. Scroll on for key dates, plus every product included from La Mer to Lisa Eldridge.

It's not too late to join the beauty drop, which is the retailers' monthly cosmetics subscription box, and you'll even receive a £25 reduction on your order, which brings the cost down to £250. Meanwhile, the waitlist for non-members is open now for 15 July pre-orders. If you miss the summer date, you'll have another chance to buy with standard delivery on 3 September. What's inside the Liberty beauty advent calendar for 2025? The Liberty advent calendar is stuffed full with 30 products, meaning some days will feature a double surprise.

Adivi Sesh On Exploring Romance With Mrunal Thakur In 'Dacoit': 'A Love Story That Breaks You'
Last Updated: Adivi Sesh stars in his first romantic lead role in Dacoit with Mrunal Thakur. The action-packed love story releases Christmas 2025 in Hindi and Telugu. Adivi Sesh, best known for his gripping performances in high-stakes thrillers like Goodachari and Major, is stepping into uncharted emotional territory with Dacoit—his first full-fledged love story on screen. The actor, who has carved a niche for himself with layered roles and intelligent scripts, is now ready to wear his heart on his sleeve in a film that promises both adrenaline and affection. Set to release in December 2025, Dacoit features Mrunal Thakur opposite Sesh and is being shot in both Hindi and Telugu, marking yet another stride in pan-Indian storytelling. The film explores the relationship between love and rebellion, vulnerability and rage, all set against a dynamic action-driven backdrop. Speaking about the genre shift, Sesh shared, 'This is the first time I'm truly diving into a love story as a genre — and that in itself makes Dacoit very special to me. Even though my character is raw and filled with rage, the story at its core is about love — the kind that transforms you, redeems you, even breaks you. That emotional conflict set against a canvas of action and thrill gives the film a unique energy." The film is helmed by Shaneil Deo and produced by Supriya Yarlagadda under the Annapurna Studios banner. Sesh, who also serves as a writer on the project, is clearly steering Dacoit with personal conviction. This creative collaboration brings together emotion, scale, and spectacle in equal measure. For an actor celebrated for redefining modern Telugu cinema with his sharp storytelling instincts, Dacoit represents not just a new film, but a turning point—where love, for once, becomes the battleground. As Christmas 2025 draws near, fans of both Sesh and Thakur can look forward to a story that marries intensity with tenderness, and action with heart. First Published: June 26, 2025, 21:07 IST

Taylor Swift's potential Christmas 2025 plans hinted at
It appears that the likely location for Taylor Swift's Christmas celebrations in 2025 may have been revealed, thanks to the scheduling of boyfriend Travis Kelce's NFL team. According to reports from JustJared, the 35-year-old pop superstar and her Kansas City Chiefs tight end beau are still heading strong after nearly two years of dating, leading to the assumption that they will be spending the holiday season together. Christmas 2024 Absence Explained Last Christmas, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs participated in one of the NFL's highly anticipated Christmas Day games. However, Taylor Swift was notably absent from the stands. Reports suggest that this absence was likely because of the fact that the game was played at an away stadium. Swift has reportedly only attended Kelce's home games due to heightened security concerns associated with large public gatherings at unfamiliar venues.

It has recently been announced that the Kansas City Chiefs are scheduled to play a home game on Christmas Day in 2025. The team will be hosting their rivals, the Denver Broncos, in Kansas City. This home game significantly increases the likelihood of Taylor Swift being in attendance to support Travis, as her previous pattern suggests she prioritizes attending his games when they are played on their home turf. Broadcast on Christmas Day Matchup For fans eager to catch the Christmas Day NFL action, the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos will be streamed live on Prime Video as part of their Thursday Night Football coverage on December 25th. Notably, the other two NFL games scheduled for Christmas Day will be available for streaming on Netflix. Swifties Speculate on Upcoming Announcement Adding another layer of intrigue to the news, Taylor Swift's dedicated fanbase, often referred to as "Swifties," are currently buzzing with speculation. Many believe that the singer might be gearing up to make a significant announcement in the near future, although the nature of this potential announcement remains a topic of fervent discussion and anticipation among her followers. Whether it's related to new music, further developments in her relationship, or other personal news, Swifties are on high alert for any hints from the global superstar.
