- Step 01
Decide what you will spend first
Set the number before you browse, because it decides the shelf more than anything else here. Of the 73 priced in dollars, 73 come in under $50 — the range runs $1 to $30, and half are above $22. Compare the price bands
- Step 02
Match the doors to the days
189 of the 207 here have 24 doors — a 24-door box opens one a day from 1 December to Christmas Eve. The others run 7, 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 03
Know which season you are buying
153 of the 207 here are 2026 editions, and 18 are last season's — still sold, often discounted, and with the contents already on the page. The 36 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 04
Start from the ones we have opened
23 of the 207 here carry an editors' pick — the chip above the grid narrows the shelf to those — and 175 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
