The Full LEGO Advent Calendar 2025 Collection You’ll Want & Need
In this article:
If, like us, you grew up with LEGO® bricks, you’ll understand the brand affinity. We love all things LEGO, even as adults. In fact, there’s a community of us big kids known as AFOLs (Adult Fans of LEGO) that specialise in building epic MOCs (My Own Creations) that we could only dream of building as kids.
Perhaps that’s why the seasonal range of LEGO Advent Calendars are so popular? Part Christmas gift and part countdown to Christmas, these brick boxes are a great way for families to indulge their imaginations, while also adding to an existing – or starting – a LEGO brick collection. They have wide appeal, so while aimed at children, they also appeal to us big kids too.
It’s also a great way to avoid stuffing children full of sugar-laden chocolate in December. Building toys or building a backstory for a new minifigure is an excellent alternative as kids count down to Christmas. Buy LEGO to stimulate their creativity this year.
The festive range spans several themes, with the key ones being LEGO City, LEGO Friends, LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Harry Potter, and Marvel Avengers. Kids can count down to Christmas Day by revealing buildable mini builds (tiny LEGO sets) and minifigures behind every door throughout December. Each calendar contains 24 gifts, plus the box double up as a Winter Wonderland playmat, allowing children to play with their new toys as a full LEGO set on Christmas Day.
These toy advent calendars are recommended for kids aged over five due to the choking hazard by the inclusion of small parts. There’s no upper age limit, making these a great gift for kids aged 5+, teens, and adults.
Adults and kids who love LEGO will love these Christmas advent calendars, which is why we’ve showcased the full range for 2023 here. it’s literally the perfect gift for the build-up to Christmas!
