Acqua Di Parma’s Advent calendar returns in festive prints by Cristina Celestino

A celebration of anticipation and joy, the 2025 Advent Calendar by Acqua di Parma transforms the countdown to the festive season into a ritual of discovery. This year, the coveted seasonal edition returns in architect and designer Cristina Celestino’s bold graphic reinterpretation of traditional craftsmanship as part of the Maison’s Antelao Holiday collection.

Antelao, one of the Dolomite’s most iconic peaks, is the symbolic guide of this festive range. A metaphor for the mountain landscape in all its majesty, Antelao evokes a world where traditional craftsmanship is made contemporary, shaped by tactile experiences, natural beauty, and quiet sophistication. Celestino reinterprets traditional decorative techniques from the alpine region—hammering, craquelé, and brushed finishes—through a contemporary lens, giving life to the visual prints that adorn the Advent Calendar.

Playful yet elegant, the round hatbox design becomes a luminous décor object with brushed gold effect patterns echoing Acqua di Parma’s colours and festive sophistication. Behind each of the 25 golden doors is a surprise selection drawn from the Maison’s most loved universes—Colonia, Blu Mediterraneo, Signatures of the Sun, and the Home Collection—inviting you to embrace the season through scents. Cristina Celestino’s signature adorns the box, enhancing this collector’s item with a unique design gesture.
