It seems to be the recurring theme this year. I’ve some genuinely stunning boxes from a number of brands across different genres, but universally filled with tat. Box designers are really going above and beyond. But clearly the budget is going on them leaving very little for sensible contents in most calendars. If I had the money for a calendar I’d spend it instead (well actually I’d spend it on heating 🙀🤦🏼♀️) on things I’d like to receive in a calendar, rather than trying to buy one and risk getting a load of tat. As it is I am just enjoying all the unboxing videos and remembering why I don’t need to buy them. Love the gimmick on this one of the box opening sound effect. Nice!
I still think it’s better than last year’s Swarovski calendar 😂 I love the items but not at this price point. It also made me realize how much I would adore a whole Bridgerton advent calendar!
I wish they had made just a Bridgerton advent calendar! The packaging and quality of those three items in this calendar were definitely the best of the bunch. I think it would've sold well too- instead of hoping that Netflix fans love seven very different shows in one package.
Right? Imagine the goodies you could put in there. You could put tea’s, quills and ink, brooches, hair curlers, mini perfumes, silk pillowcases, all sorts :)
And it will cost probably more than 100, as I think Bridgerton, the Witcher and possibly the Outer Banks used most of the budget left after the creation of the box 😊
I’ve never seen the show, but I genuinely think all the Outer Banks ones were fairly good quality. I also thought the pen from the Witcher was decent as well. But those random blind bags seemed so cheap and made it look like such a rip off.
That’s a great point - the phrasing was “combines fandom with luxury.” I think Bridgerton was the “luxury” and everything else was the typical “fandom.”
I wouldn’t really agree. None of it felt luxurious except for the spoon (and even that’s a stretch because teaspoons aren’t expensive). An acrylic bookmark and a tiny journal don’t scream luxury, they’re cool but still a bit meh. They shouldn’t have called it luxury, but £100 for the stuff in it and the cool box is actually quite reasonable considering they need to make a profit on them too. A regular chocolate advent calendar costs around £5-£10 so £100 for branded items isn’t really that bad.
@@21cormorants 🤣🤣 The Bridgerton stuff was the coolest stuff for sure, and I’ve not even seen that show yet. They also had some odd choices… like why would they use Rebel Moon instead of Emily In Paris? Or One Piece instead of YOU? There’s been much more successful movies and shows than the ones they included, which makes me think it’s leftover things they haven’t been able to sell, rather than stuff made specifically for the calendar?🤷🏻
@ the bookmark was weird, though, for Bridgerton, in that… Without the logo… would anyone ever make the connection? 😅 It’s just flowers? I’ve never heard of Rebel Moon, but I do know Emily in Paris had some people up in arms. As for One Piece, since it has a huge following for the anime, I figured they were trying to ride that group of fans. Initially I thought that YOU might be a strange choice for a holiday advent calendar - but then so is Stranger Things and Squid Game. 😂 I do wonder whether it markets itself to only catering to … Was it 6 fandoms? But it felt like it was for several different kinds of fans. Personally I’m not into the North American style mini figures, for example… but the Bridgerton stuff appealed more to me, and the Witcher stuff had some potential, apart from looking… pretty cheap imho. (The pen was okay, the pin was /shrug…) If the whole calendar leaned more into “pop culture collectibles!” Instead of bringing up the word “luxury,” I think it wouldn’t feel so misleading. Apart from the price. Oof, the price… 😓
They effed up as soon as they described it was "luxury" 😭💀 definitely wouldn't say it was worth the money! The coolest part was the sound when you opened it 😭
I think I agree with everything you said Cherry. My husband and I were extremely intrigued by a streaming service advent. It could have been a game changer. The box was an awesome idea and the spoon in door one was cool. I think that set it up for high expectations that just flopped after that. I don’t want to find anything I could win from a 2p machine at the arcades. The pen was the only other thing I liked. Nothing in there made me want to watch the shows I haven’t seen yet. Stranger things has so much they could have done as one of a kind merch. Such a shame they didn’t include maybe a month free subscription to gift someone who hasn’t watched Netflix before with the calendar introducing its shows, including upcoming shows for early next year.
Ya they DEFINITELY should have included far more shows. Can you imagine an ALL Bridgerton ADVENT? Now that would sell if they choose to add things like they did in this one. The Bridgetron stuff was BY FAR the best!
I think now lots of us want a Bridgerton advent calendar ! For the Luxury part, I think only Bridgerton could fit into that category, so the rest worked well for the shows/movies I think. Even if some things like stickers, patches, cards are not super exciting, I liked the packaging and the art. Not worth 100£ but I think they kinda nailed it. But I think it's a calendar to share, not many people will be super fan of all shows and interested in the different aesthetics. Thanks for this unboxing !
Super excited for 2024 advent calendar series!! I actually really liked this Netflix calendar. Would I pay $100? No, but for someone who watches all of these shows it would be an absolute gem ❤❤❤
I feel like each piece actually matches the price amount and the show it represents really well. Like for example One Piece the characters would love the flag, and for Stranger things, we could definitely see the kids in that show wanting to collect that style of bobble head.
Subscribed to your channel because I am a massive HP fan, but not gonna lie, this has become one of my fave times of the year on this channel. Whoop .... Happy Novemeber Witches and Wizards and Muggles :)
My partner and I were just talking about advent calendar shopping the other day for the kids since it is close to the season. SO EXCITED for the videos to come out!!!
Awww love the Lost Cauldron ad in the middle. Will definitely be ordering more candles and candies for xmas. Thanks for making an online store with international shipping!
Yay fianlly after all year waiting it’s time for the best series on TH-cam near Xmas time. Cherry openning advent calendars. Yayyyyyyyyyy get innnnnnnnn
Love that you are doing calendar season! Thanks for showing us this generic calendar, the sound effect was so promising. But they chose the most basic items. Bridgerton items were the best.
YESSSSSSSS THESE VIDEOS ARE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE OF ALL OF TH-cam. THEY BRINGS ME THE MOST JOY DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND IM SO HAPPY THEY'RE BACK YAYUUYYYYYYYYYY
I'm a One Piece fan but most of the advent seems like and advert for the upcoming seasons of some of the shows. I do love the Silver Spoon for Bridgerton LOL
I feel like the companies that make these mark the price up so much solely because of the boxes and packaging, and just RIP YOU OFF with the actual contents inside. I’ve seen so many advent calendar unboxings from so many different companies and only like 2 were good. Definitely will never purchase one myself but I do like to watch the videos lol
They needed to, at the very least, offer genre-based boxes. I personally would not have liked any of the things in the box, but I would have kept the stuff from Bridgestone and some of the Outer Bound stuff. The rest would have been offered up as freebies. But that’s b/c I would never been tempted to watch shows from the other genres
girl! ur me tho! i think after you showed us this? i think bridgerton is the only thing that excited me, ive watched that series 72636373 times and cannot wait for benedict's time to shine!
I didn't see it in the comments, but: the Stranger Things demogorgon acrylic thing is what you'd call an acrylic stand. They're quite common with anime/manga-type things and/or other fandoms.
How are you always so good at guessing what items are in mystery boxes? Is it just from experience? You never fail to amaze me with your powers of divination.
So gutted your first one was a flop for you. Definitely agree, the bridgeton spoon and notebook were the best items and they should have included more shows. Looks like you'll be doing a carboot next year 😂😂😂
First of all, did not know that Netflix made up in calendars? Second of all, that opening of the box! Pure heaven! And third, thank you for making this video.🤯😍😍😍😳
Yay I love this time of year. Can’t wait. I’ve already purchased my advent calendar for this year and been super restrained and not even opened the package. Mine is the latest in beauty one
So many other options they had to choose from that I'm pretty sure are well-known even if you haven't seen them: The Crown, Anne With an E, Love is Blind, Umbrella Academy, Orange is the New Black, Series of Unfortunate Events, Queen's Gambit, Daredevil, Ozark, House of Cards, My Life With the Walter Boys, WEDNESDAY, Emily in Paris, The Empress, The Gentlemen. Even an ornament of some of them, if they didn't have some fun item they could associate, but I could read a synopsis of each of those and come up with one really nice/neat item they could have done for each. They wasted so much potential.
I always watch your advent calendar videos for more inspiration of what to buy and I always end up defaulting to ASOS calendar. Hopefully this year will be different just for some variety 😂
The One Piece Japanese Manga (books) started in 1997. My son has read everyone since that date !! You don’t have to know anything about the story to absolutely love the Netflix series !!! Fantastic !!! It’s kind of are own fault. Everyone whined about Advent Calendar packaging, so now we can whine about what’s inside 😂 Believe me I’m definitely not happy with the inside of that calendar !! Love the package, very bad for the price !!
IT'S TIMEEEE.. for the most festive time of year - who's excited for 24 Days of Advent?!
Found you last year, binged thru all 24 advent calendars. Excited for this year ❤
the November advent series has been the most awaited since the shop tour!
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
It's timeeeee so ready for it all yes yes yes ! 🎉❤️✨
Day 15 is a devil's fruit it gives power to people who eat it but take away their ability to swim in the ocean
They spent all the money on the box. That opening was the best part
Sadly, I agree - packaging was the most impressive part!
It seems to be the recurring theme this year. I’ve some genuinely stunning boxes from a number of brands across different genres, but universally filled with tat. Box designers are really going above and beyond. But clearly the budget is going on them leaving very little for sensible contents in most calendars.

Love the gimmick on this one of the box opening sound effect. Nice!
The part that’s designed to go in the bin is the most interesting part. How sad is that?
Real
Correct.
It looks like the free merch they would give away to advertise the shows
They should have done single themed boxes, so you could pick your favourite.
Yes! I would have been tempted by a bridgerton advent calendar... as long as it wasn't stickers and keychains and figurines...
I still think it’s better than last year’s Swarovski calendar 😂 I love the items but not at this price point. It also made me realize how much I would adore a whole Bridgerton advent calendar!
Agreed!
Definitely better than that monstrosity 😂.

Right? Imagine the goodies you could put in there. You could put tea’s, quills and ink, brooches, hair curlers, mini perfumes, silk pillowcases, all sorts :)
I guess I need to watch bridgerton!!!! That’s the only show in the calendar I haven’t watched!
And it will cost probably more than 100, as I think Bridgerton, the Witcher and possibly the Outer Banks used most of the budget left after the creation of the box 😊
I’ve never seen the show, but I genuinely think all the Outer Banks ones were fairly good quality. I also thought the pen from the Witcher was decent as well. But those random blind bags seemed so cheap and made it look like such a rip off.
bridgerton pr team was the only one who get the memo about this being "luxury" calendar.
love one piece but that was bunch of junk
That’s a great point - the phrasing was “combines fandom with luxury.” I think Bridgerton was the “luxury” and everything else was the typical “fandom.”
I wouldn’t really agree. None of it felt luxurious except for the spoon (and even that’s a stretch because teaspoons aren’t expensive). An acrylic bookmark and a tiny journal don’t scream luxury, they’re cool but still a bit meh.

@ shh. We’re gaslighting ourselves into believing it’s luxury 😂 By comparison, I guess it is. On its own? Definitely not - I agree with you!

When I saw that there was a Netflix advent I was hoping it would be tree ornament or magnet film/tv posters. That would have been so much cooler!
Now that would've been cool. Or like mini, replica props from certain characters/shows.
I LOVE that the “ad” in this video was for your shop!! You are too cool for school Cherry Wallis!
The Bridgeton and Outer Banks Pr team did it right!
those two shows are my favourite and it was the best one that describes the shows well
The opening of the box sound effect was the best part of the box. Regrettably you got ripped off.
The opening sound effect is awesome!!! I like the Bridgerton & The Witcher items.
Over priced for what you get, rather spend the money at the lost cauldron ❤

OMG YESSSS, Advent Calendar 2024!!!! 😍 I've been looking forward to this! 🥰 I didn't miss a single video last year!!! 🤗🥰
I was not expecting Mariah Cherry at the start! 😂😂 Advent Calendar unboxings are always the best time of year 😊
Ya they DEFINITELY should have included far more shows. Can you imagine an ALL Bridgerton ADVENT? Now that would sell if they choose to add things like they did in this one. The Bridgetron stuff was BY FAR the best!

The sword pen was the best bit for me. I didn't mind the one piece flag and earring, but everything else can go
I absolutely love how honest you are, while still staying upbeat about it. :) My fave month on your channel! 🥳
My favourite time of the year has begun - advent calendar season! 😍🎄
Super excited for 2024 advent calendar series!! I actually really liked this Netflix calendar. Would I pay $100? No, but for someone who watches all of these shows it would be an absolute gem ❤❤❤

7:50 Subsribe 😂😂
IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!! didmt miss a day last year, i LOVE this series
Just an FYI, Rebel Moon is a 2-part movie (that also each has its own director's cuts)
The 2nd part fell off for me unfortunately 😂
Spoon collecting was a thing back in the day. Like a travel souvenir.
My partner and I were just talking about advent calendar shopping the other day for the kids since it is close to the season. SO EXCITED for the videos to come out!!!
This is the beginning of my Christmas season ever since you started this series.❤❤❤
Netflix should give an advent calendar to subscribers for free who had 12 consecutive months of subscription
That's not a bad idea
Thank you friend….. so excited because of you! ❤
I missed the advent calendar series!!! so glad it's back :DDD
Awww love the Lost Cauldron ad in the middle. Will definitely be ordering more candles and candies for xmas. Thanks for making an online store with international shipping!
The packaging was the best bit. Honestly i would keep the photos
On the covers for scrap books.
They’ve done good with the material efforts consistently tbf! ❤ but yeah more shows or maybe different calendars available with different genre mixes
Yay fianlly after all year waiting it’s time for the best series on TH-cam near Xmas time. Cherry openning advent calendars. Yayyyyyyyyyy get innnnnnnnn
Thank you friend….. so excited because of you! ❤ 1:25
I really like your cute hairstyle, makeup, manicure and outfit in general today!
Love that you are doing calendar season! Thanks for showing us this generic calendar, the sound effect was so promising. But they chose the most basic items. Bridgerton items were the best.
$130 for this is INSANE
Looking forward to this series Cherry you always do them so well and give fair reviews ❤
Yes our queen always delivers in November! Equally entertaining to see Cherry roast the boxes 😂
Happy Halloween Cherry!! 🎃 👻 🍬 🍫 🍭 🍒 🕯 ❤
Yay, Cherry, the Advent Calendar openings are my favorite. I hope to see Rachel again for some of the luxe boxes.
I m soooo happy that you re doing it again !!
Yay my favorite time of year (Cherry advent month) always look forward to these❤ thank you Cherry for the honesty
YESSSSSSSS THESE VIDEOS ARE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE OF ALL OF TH-cam. THEY BRINGS ME THE MOST JOY DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND IM SO HAPPY THEY'RE BACK YAYUUYYYYYYYYYY
Oh my goodness!!! I’m so excited for these to start!!! Brings me so much joy watching these videos!
I'm a One Piece fan but most of the advent seems like and advert for the upcoming seasons of some of the shows. I do love the Silver Spoon for Bridgerton LOL

Come on peeps can we see how close our Cherry is to 1 MILLION FOLLOWERS let’s get spreading the word what a way to give something back 🤗🤗
So pants, would be so disappointed if I had spent my money on this. So excited for the rest of the series!! Xx
Be happy if they just made a bridgerton one
Oh I'm so PUMPED! My second year watching 💚✨
I want the One Piece earring so much!!! Probably my favorite piece from this box, but if you don’t love Zoro, then it won’t matter much to people.
Felicidades por tus 900k suscriptores Cherry ❤❤❤

november already, absolutely crazy how fast this year has flown by, 99 QUID for a calender is nuts, its cool though
So happy this series is back!!! 🎉
This reminded me of the potions HP advent calendar - the box was the best part
So excited for all ur advent calendar unboxings 😀💕🎄🎁 The $100 was definitely for the packaging and sound effect
🤭🤣 the demagorgon spring is too tight for the most flexible Alien monster 😜
girl! ur me tho!
i think after you showed us this? i think bridgerton is the only thing that excited me, ive watched that series 72636373 times and cannot wait for benedict's time to shine!

Yeeesss!! The season started 🎉🎉
As a HUGE One Piece fan, I would've loved the items from the live action!!!
Thank you for starting in November! I need Christmas content NOWWWWW haha
Omg Cherry, "OK... Kinda sucks" (plastic stranger things thing) i BURST out laughing 😂😂
How are you always so good at guessing what items are in mystery boxes? Is it just from experience? You never fail to amaze me with your powers of divination.
Love the Bridgerton items
I would love if they did 24 different shows!!! 🤩
Coasters, postcards and patches and flags. The kind of things you open and think oh that’s kinda cool and it ends up in a drawer somewhere
I really love the Advent Calendar series!! I look forward to it every year!
also, really liked your makeup in this one
Yes, it’s that time of year again! 🎉
So gutted your first one was a flop for you. Definitely agree, the bridgeton spoon and notebook were the best items and they should have included more shows. Looks like you'll be doing a carboot next year 😂😂😂
Im glad this series is back ❤
Advent calendar season is my favorite! 🎉
I think this was great. I love all those shows!
I wish they would have done a bigger variety of their shows
I love your advent calendar series ❤️ Best time of the year
I have been waiting for these all year!!!! Yeeeiii!!🎉
The description really made me think there would be more soundscapes, I was surprised it was just the opening sound!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE ADVENT CALENDAR VIDEO FROM LAST MONTH!!
IT'S NOVEMBER! IT'S TIME FOR CHERRY'S VIDEO!N 🎉
First of all, did not know that Netflix made up in calendars? Second of all, that opening of the box! Pure heaven! And third, thank you for making this video.🤯😍😍😍😳
Yay!!! It's Advent Calendar time!!!! Best time of the year!!!
The best season of the year ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's my favorite time of the year, ppl opening advent calendars.
Yay I love this time of year. Can’t wait. I’ve already purchased my advent calendar for this year and been super restrained and not even opened the package. Mine is the latest in beauty one

They should make a bridgerton advent calendar. The bridgerton items were by far the best
Can I at that this is the best time of the year! Cherry opening advent calendars!
The One Piece Japanese Manga (books) started in 1997. My son has read everyone since that date !!
You don’t have to know anything about the story to absolutely love the Netflix series !!! Fantastic !!!
It’s kind of are own fault. Everyone whined about Advent Calendar packaging, so now we can whine about what’s inside 😂

ITS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIIIIMEEE OF THE YEEAAARRR❤
My absolute favourite ❤
The beginning!!! Love it! 🎉 x
I’m so excited!!! I’ve been looking forward to the calendars
This box is amazing !!,! The one piece flag was beautifull,!!!
The acrylic stand artwork is a super popular thing in Japan!
