24 doorsHow to choose one for gamers
- Step 01
Match the doors to the days
11 of the 14 here have 24 doors — a 24-door box opens one a day from 1 December to Christmas Eve. The others run 12 and 25, and the shorter ones start partway through the month: a 12-door box opens on 13 December. For someone who will not open one every day, or a gift that will arrive late, fewer doors is the better fit, not the lesser calendar. Every start date
- Step 02
Know which season you are buying
3 of the 14 here are 2026 editions, and 8 are last season's — still sold, often discounted, and with the contents already on the page. The 3 older than that are listed for the record, not for buying. A brand's page keeps every edition together, so check whether the box you are looking at is this year's before you compare prices.
- Step 03
Start from the ones we have opened
2 of the 14 here carry an editors' pick — the chip above the grid narrows the shelf to those — and 3 have a written score. Those are the boxes somebody on this site has actually judged. The rest are listed because they exist, not because we are recommending them; being on this page is not a verdict. How we review
