The LEGO 2024 Advent Calendars Are Here and We're SO Excited

If you're on the hunt for game-changing unique advent calendars, this year's LEGO advent calendars are as awesome as ever. We think they're among the best kids' advent calendars of the year and an easy way to encourage pre-holiday creativity.

What are LEGO advent calendars?

LEGO advent calendars include 24 days of buildable LEGO pieces and collections to make the countdown to Christmas brighter than ever. This year, the advent calendars feature popular themes including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Spider-Man and Disney, as well as LEGO City and LEGO Friends offerings.

Each calendar set also includes a foldout playmat — no batteries or screens are required. We love how exciting this creativity-building gift is, offering pre-Christmas adventure for little ones of most ages. It's one of the best Christmas gifts for kids boiling over with anticipation for the big day.

Each of the build toys comes with easy-to-understand building instructions perfect for kids and adults alike. We love that each set provides hours of wholesome fun that promotes creative learning and building. Most of these building sets cost around $30, with a few $40 options. In other words, they won't break the bank!
