But is this themed holiday gift really full of beans?

Beans have been getting a lot of love lately. I mean, ever since dense bean salads started going viral on TikTok, we just can’t get enough of them. And there’s a lot to love about beans! They’re fiber and protein powerhouses, and usually pretty affordable, too.

And perhaps that’s why Bush’s wanted to celebrate the holidays in a very special way—with some really fun merch for bean lovers. On the brand’s holiday store website, you can get a Bush’s baked beans ugly holiday sweater, hats, pajamas or my favorite: a Bush’s baked beans Advent calendar.

What is the Bush’s baked beans Advent calendar?

Firstly, the calendar itself is shaped like a big can of Bush’s baked beans. And when you open it, both sides are covered in photos of beans. It’s a very minimalistic Advent calendar, which I find very chic. There is no hunting around for each number on this calendar, because all of the numbers are in order, 1 through 25.

What’s inside the Bush’s baked beans Advent calendar?

I would have been very happy if this was a calendar full of beans, but alas, it is not. I know that it’s basically taboo to open an Advent calendar before December 1, but since I’m doing it in the sacred name of holiday journalism, I figured Santa wouldn’t put me on the naughty list.

OK, so inside the calendar are tiny “cans” of every variety of Bush’s Best beans. But they’re not actually little cans; they’re rolls of mints! Yes, this calendar contains 25 tiny rolls of mints. They are super cute, and I bet they come in handy after eating a ton of beans. I’ve been making sure I have a roll in my purse every time I leave the house.
