A toy advent calendar turns the countdown to Christmas into 24 small surprises. We have around 45 calendars you can order now, for toddlers through to teens, from building sets and figures to puzzles, science experiments and escape-room games.

About edition years

Please read this before you order. None of the calendars here is a 2026 edition. The dated calendars are 2023, 2024 or 2025 releases: for example LEGO Friends 2023 (41758) and Hot Wheels 2023, LEGO City 2024 (60436) and Hot Wheels 2024, and Bluey, LEGO City 2025 and LEGO Minecraft 2025 (21280). Some undated calendars, such as LEGO City 60381 and LEGO Friends 41706, are also from earlier years. The year is in the product title wherever we know it. The surprises inside are exactly as originally released; the date simply tells you which year's design you are getting. If 2026 editions are added to our range, they will appear here automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Are these 2026 advent calendars?

No. None of the calendars in this collection is a 2026 edition. Dated calendars are 2023, 2024 or 2025 releases, and the year is shown in the product title wherever we know it. Some undated calendars, such as LEGO City 60381 and LEGO Friends 41706, are also from earlier years.

Does an earlier edition have different contents?

Each calendar contains the surprises it was originally released with. An earlier edition is a complete calendar; it simply has that year's design rather than this year's.

Which advent calendars suit younger children?

Look for calendars marked for ages 3 and up, such as Peppa Pig, PJ Masks, Play-Doh and Fisher-Price Imaginext Jurassic World. Many building and collectable calendars contain small parts and are not suitable for children under 3.

When should I order an advent calendar?

We process orders within 1–4 working days and delivery usually takes 5–10 working days, so allow up to about three weeks from ordering to delivery. To have a calendar in time for 1 December, order by early November. Delivery is free to UK addresses.
