Acqua di Parma presents its Holiday Advent Calendar 2025, an edition inspired by the festive atmosphere of the Dolomites and the symbolism of Mount Antelao, one of the region’s most representative peaks. The Maison uses this landscape as a starting point to convey a sense of nature, tradition, and understated elegance, shaping a proposal designed to accompany the holiday season in a distinctive way.
The Holiday Advent Calendar is conceived as a collectible piece and stands out for its design by Italian architect and designer Cristina Celestino. The edition is presented in a round hatbox adorned with Acqua di Parma’s seasonal graphic motif, a design enhanced with golden details that adds a festive and refined touch. Celestino’s signature, integrated into the piece, provides a distinctive element and reinforces the exclusive character of the calendar, which is intended to serve as a decorative object throughout the holiday season.
The calendar includes twenty-four exclusive surprises that accompany the countdown to the festivities, turning each day into a small discovery. Although the exact contents remain a secret, Acqua di Parma reveals that it features some of its most iconic collections. Among them are Colonia, Blu Mediterraneo, Signatures of the Sun, and a curated selection of candles and diffusers designed for the festive period. Priced at 510 euros, it stands as one of the Maison’s most anticipated special editions.
The participation of Cristina Celestino brings a perspective that combines aesthetic research with a refined sensitivity to materials. A graduate in Architecture from IUAV University of Venice, the designer has worked on residential, hospitality, and commercial projects and has collaborated with brands such as Fendi, Maison Matisse, Moooi, and Serapian. Her approach, marked by visual balance and attention to detail, is reflected in a calendar conceived to be both functional and decorative.
Acqua di Parma thus continues its tradition of blending Italian heritage with contemporary design, a philosophy that has shaped its identity since the creation of Colonia by Carlo Magnani. This Advent Calendar follows that same path, offering a proposal that brings together refined aesthetics, thoughtful presentation, and a journey through some of the Maison’s most emblematic collections. With this edition, the brand reaffirms its position within the realm of exclusive holiday offerings, maintaining its distinctive style and its commitment to detail.
