A Little Something
to Open Every Day.
From Pennsylvania spreadable honey and fruit butter to vintage candy, locally roasted coffee, tea and holiday baking flavors, our countdown collections turn the days before Christmas into something worth looking forward to.
Every collection is selected with the season in mind and includes the stories, tasting notes, recipes or serving ideas that make each day's discovery more than another treat behind a door.
2026 PREORDER NOTE: These countdowns are produced in limited holiday quantities. Order early for the best selection.
PARCEL Nº 1225
Christmas
By Post
A numbered collection of tastes, stories and little surprises prepared for the days leading to Christmas.
COME BACK TOMORROW.
A Gift That Keeps Unfolding
Christmas Doesn't Have to Arrive
All at Once.
The best part of a countdown isn't simply what is behind today's door. It is knowing there is still something waiting tomorrow.
Our holiday collections are built around discovery. Some lead through an orchard. Some through a honey pantry. Others visit an old-fashioned candy counter, a local coffee roaster, a quiet cup of tea or the holiday bake shop.
