24 doorsWhat’s inside →The Best 2026 Advent Calendars for Girls
138 calendars, 81 new for 2026, from $15 to $198, most of them 24 doors. Full stats
Advent calendars for girls in 2026 are toys first: eighteen of the 81 new boxes, from LEGO's Disney Princess and Friends at 44.99 and 34.99 USD to Play-Doh at 19.99, with National Geographic's gemstone, magic and science kits at 30 to 40 for the girl who wants to dig and build. Six sweet boxes follow (Haribo, Milka, Lindt's Kleiner TEDDY and Wichtel Zauber) and five beauty calendars for the older girl, H&M's three among them. The tag is the parent's, not the child's: nothing here is pink by rule, the same LEGO City box sits on the boys page, and age is the real line, so each page carries the maker's mark. Ask one question of any toy calendar: does the maker print the doors? LEGO and Pokémon do; Mattel and Schleich do not.

24 doorsHow to choose an advent calendar for girls
- Step 01
Decide what kind, before what price
The shelf for girls is toys (62%), franchise (20%), art & hobbies (17%) and food (17%) — the same person gets a very different December from each. The picks below name the box to get in every kind; the kind's own page holds the rest. Every toys box
- Step 02
Then set the number
Of the 92 priced in dollars, 74 come in under $50 and 18 sit between $50 and $200; half are above $39. Under $50 buys chocolate, toys and drugstore beauty; the retailer boxes with the best value multiples sit in the middle band; over $200 is the department stores and the fragrance houses. Compare the price bands
- Step 03
Prefer the boxes that print what is inside
81 of this season's 81 come with the maker's own door list; the rest are bought on the brand's record. For a gift that matters, the list is the difference between a calendar and a lottery — every page says which it holds.
- Step 04
Match the size to the person
124 of the 138 are 24-door boxes; 6 are twelve-day calendars, which suit someone who will not open a door every morning. A 24-door box of minis is a month of small things; a twelve-door box is usually the bigger items.
- Step 05
Start from this season's, from the ones we have opened
81 of the 138 on this page are 2026 editions and every one carries a verdict from us; the earlier editions stay listed for the record and the prices. The grid puts this season first.

If you cannot decide, get Jurassic World Island Visitor 2026
The best value among the calendars here that we have rated this season, rated 4/5, $32.39, 24 doors. Nineteen dinosaurs, a fence and a Visitor Center to put them behind, for under 30 GBP, and the box is the scene. Mattel doesn't name the species, and these are Jurassic Park Minis: small collectibles rather than the larger figures.
24 doorsCalendars for girls, by the numbers
How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the records at build time and says how many it is drawn from. Door price is the price on the box over its doors; the value multiple is what the contents come to at retail over that price; full size is the retailer’s own marking. Dollar figures use rough rates and are for ranking only. Where a record cannot support a figure, it is left out rather than guessed.The definitions, one by one →81 calendars for girls for 2026, a median of $1.46 a door, 49 brands we had never listed before.
