Building the Christmas spirit

The highly anticipated advent calendars offer a chance to recreate scenes from our favourite franchises like Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Also available in the collection are the LEGO Friends calendar and LEGO City, bringing the festive fun from the animated TV series.

Each calendar contains approximately 300 pieces with bonus figurines and included games, making the lead-up to Christmas the most exciting and immersive yet.

Accio Harry Potter

One of the most popular advent calendars is the Harry Potter set, containing 334 pieces to put together and collect.

The calendar is designed to reveal toys from each film in sequence. For example, the first three toys make a scene from the first film, and the next three days are from a scene from the second film, with the doors continuing to offer the entire storyline by Christmas Day.

There are seven minifigures to find, including Harry Potter, Sirius Black, Voldemort, and Moaning Myrtle, with an added bonus game to play once all the toys have been found!

To new worlds and beyond

Star Wars fans will love collecting new Christmas-themed pieces in LEGO's Star Wars Christmas winter-themed advent calendar.

Open a door each day to find five collectable minifigures, three droid figures and 16 mini-builds.

There are 10 mini build vehicles to put together like the Bad Batch Shuttle, Hoth AT-ST, while Star Wars fans will also love seeing their favourite characters like C-3PO and R2-D2 donned in festive jumpers.

Already, this calendar is a favourite for many.

"I love ALL of the builds and the figure selection is great," one happy fan wrote.

"The Christmas-themed figures specifically are all-stars!"

Hooked on a feeling

Coming in relatively new to the annual release is the Guardians of the Galaxy advent calendar offering 24 superhero gifts to discover.

Collect six iconic minifigures including Star-Lord, Rocket, Groot, Mantis, Nebula and Drax with mini buildable toys like a drone and the Guardians’ spaceship.

The versatile buildable toys are able to be mixed with other daily gifts to recreate favourite film scenes and unique Marvel adventures.

LEGO wonderland

Kids can celebrate the wonder of Christmas in the Friends advent calendar joining Olivia and her family as they visit a festive market.

There are 24 exciting toys to discover with four figures to collect, including Santa, to act out the story in the bonus fold-out market playmat.

While LEGO City fans will love playing with the TV characters like Billy, Maddy, Mr. Produce, Tippy and Raze, plus an exclusive Santa minifigure in this fun and festive advent calendar.

Kids can immerse themselves in the snowy scene building festive stories as each gift is revealed.

With the calendars already on everyone's list, we recommend getting into the Christmas spirit early and securing your calendar before they sell out!
