That means the available evidence does not establish that the calendar cost $30 or more—or that it is still available. Amazon Australia announced a separate calendar for AU$100 during a sales window that ended in October 2025; it is not a U.S. listing.
What Amazon’s 2025 U.S. announcement confirms
Amazon’s U.S. holiday-event article lists the “Amazon 12 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar” among its exclusive gift sets. The article does not give a price, number of products inside, product categories, seller, or availability. It therefore confirms the product name appeared in Amazon’s 2025 holiday coverage, but not that it met this guide’s “from $30” threshold.
Amazon’s 2025 U.S. holiday announcement
Amazon Australia’s calendar was a different product
Amazon Australia announced a separate 2025 calendar on October 1. It contained 24 individually packaged boxes covering makeup, skincare, body care, hair, and nail products. Amazon said it would be sold exclusively on Amazon.com.au, with preorder availability from October 3–23 and remaining stock available October 24, for AU$100. Those dates have passed; the price and offer were specific to Australia and do not establish a U.S. price or Amazon.com listing.
Amazon Australia advertised the calendar as “Over $570 value for just $100.” That is Amazon’s stated value claim, not an independently verified valuation or a U.S.-dollar comparison. Amazon Australia’s announcement

Retailer calendars for comparison—not Amazon listings

- Year and retailer: Confirm the page refers to the intended holiday season and the retailer you plan to buy from.
- Region and currency: A price on Amazon.com.au is not a U.S. Amazon price. Check the shipping destination as well.
- Price and threshold: Verify the current product price on the exact listing; a product name in a holiday announcement does not prove it was priced at $30 or above.
- Seller and stock: Check who is selling the item and whether it can actually be ordered for delivery to your address.
- Contents: Compare the number of days with the number of items, and look for separate counts of full-size products, travel sizes, and accessories. A day count alone does not establish how many usable beauty products are included.
- Value claim: Treat a stated retail value as the retailer’s claim unless an independent valuation is available.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
