The most wonderful time of the year isn’t too far off, so why not get in the festive spirit with an amazing LEGO Advent Calendar? They’re a super fun way to build up the anticipation for Christmas in both children and adults by offering a miniature LEGO surprise behind each door, window, or compartment from an awesome seasonal set. Really looking to get into the holiday spirit or create some new traditions with your family or roommates? A LEGO Advent Calendar will always make for a solid investment.
Why Choose a LEGO Advent Calendar?
Advent calendars have long been a cherished holiday tradition. There’s no better way to get into the yuletide spirit than to count down to Christmas. And now, the LEGO Group is taking the classic concept to the next level with its Advent Calendars that blend the magic of receiving presents with the excitement of playtime. Yep, you’ll discover a unique LEGO build, character or accessory behind every window. And, much like pieces of a puzzle, you can mix and match each build, or even bring your whole holiday scene to life as you go.
Currently, LEGO offers quite a few different types of advent calendar sets. Young and the young at heart Star Wars fans can celebrate the season with a galaxy far, far away twist with the ever-popular LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar. Other popular options include the LEGO City Advent Calendar, the LEGO Friends Advent Calendar, and the LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar.
The Themes: Something for Every LEGO Lover
No matter what you like as a LEGO fan, this advent calendar has something for you.
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar
The LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar quickly became one of the most beloved among LEGO fans both young and old. This set comes with miniatures of characters from the galaxy and, of course, different scenes from the Star Wars Universe. Imagine unwrapping a tiny Yoda dressed in festive attire or a mini Millennium Falcon. Each daily surprise makes the Star Wars galaxy a reality in your home. Take it from us, there is no better way to count down to Christmas.
LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar
Fun by the sack full and twinkling with magic, the LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar is pure enchantment. Open a new door each day to reveal one of two dozen jolly little micro builds, accessories and mini-figures that, when assembled, comprise Hogsmeade Village or perhaps a corner of Diagon Alley. Daily surprises range from our favorite wizards (Harry, Hermione, Dumbledore) to the wee bits and bobs to build the wizarding world.
LEGO City Advent Calendar
For a more traditional, non-branded holiday spread, fans can pick up the LEGO City Advent Calendar. In this set, you’ll find new mini-figures, the miniature model builds and jolly little accessories to create your own winter wonderland if modeled after a densely populated, cosmopolitan urban environment (read: city). Either way, minifigures come bearing gifts and the parts to make a nice Christmas city.
Creating Holiday Memories with a LEGO Advent Calendar
Opening the daily gifts never gets boring, but the opening is only a fraction of the fun. The LEGO Advent Calendar is a way to get gifts each day, but it’s also a way to build a story each day during December. Each mini-figure or accessory can be added to your LEGO display daily. Your entire scene grows more and more each day. By December 24, you will have a holiday LEGO display that you can all enjoy and be proud of.
For families, this can be a way to create a new tradition this holiday and build memories together. Many parents love sitting with their kids each morning or night and opening the door to see what’s inside. These precious moments make the holidays a little more special and help get the family in the spirit. There is a certain charm added to these moments when you do the LEGO Advent Calendar together. Christmastime is filled with lots of excitement, and this is a way you can all do something together.
Decorating Your Space with LEGO Advent Calendar Pieces
One way to make this a fun and unique part of your Christmas decorations is to incorporate the pieces that you get each day. You can simply set up a shelf or small table with the mini builds that you get each day.
You can even take your holiday decor to a new level, by adding some handmade fabric decorations. Allegro Fabrics has a ton of fabric that is perfect for whatever Christmas craft you like. Classic red and green, or something more modern, it’s all on their site. Homemade decorations show people that you care and add some warmth to your living space.
Where to Buy a LEGO Advent Calendar
We would recommend getting your Lego Advent Calendar sooner than later as they can (and MANY did this year) sell out. You can find them on Allegro. Each of these advent calendars was created to start on December 1st so having it in hand by then is a must.

LEGO Advent Calendar: A Fun and Festive Gift for All Ages
Like we said above, the Lego Advent Calendar would be a great gift for your kiddos, or maybe it is something you and your fully-grown friend(long) could have fun with for the month. Take a break from the everyday stress and have some fun laughing while creating something fun over the next 24 days.
The variety of themes makes the LEGO Advent Calendars appealing to a broad range of fans, from the Star Wars galaxy to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the familiar fun of LEGO City. Each day’s reveal is a surprise sure to delight, keeping the build-up to Christmas entertaining and imaginative.
Basically, if you’re seeking an original and enjoyable Christmas gift, you can’t beat the LEGO Advent Calendar. But fair warning: don’t wait too long to buy, because the rest of the world is starting to figure out what we’ve known all along — there’s something special about getting a bit of LEGO cheer every December day.
Have fun and enjoy your holiday with these calendars!
