The classical $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model on the two dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattice has N\\'eel order for $J_2 < J_1/6$. For $J_2 > J_1/6$, it exhibits a one-parameter family of degenerate incommensurate spin spiral ground states where the spiral wave vector can point in any direction. Spin wave fluctuations at leading order lift this accidental degeneracy in favor of specific wave vectors, leading to spiral order by disorder.
