Advent calendars are the most treacherous product in the LEGO calendar: they come out in September, sell out weeks before 1 December — the date when they stop making sense — and next year’s is a different product. Here are all of 2026’s, according to the official LEGO data. Our rule for this page is simple: if you want it for this Advent, buy it when you see it at the official price or below; waiting for the November sale is the classic way to end up without one.

To gauge which themes repeat every year. A calendar from last year with a markup is almost never worth it: its content belongs to its season.
The criterion is the recipient, not the box: City and Friends calendars work from 5–6 years old; licensed ones (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel) work best with someone who already follows the franchise — a good part of their appeal is the exclusive seasonal minifigures, which is also what collectors chase afterwards. If you’re torn between two, the piece count tells you little here: both are 24 surprises, so pick the franchise that will be opened with more excitement every morning.
