- 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 37 priced in dollars, 22 come in under $50, 14 sit between $50 and $200 and 1 cost more than that — the range runs $15 to $449, and half are above $49. Compare the price bands
- Step 02
Match the doors to the days
52 of the 62 here have 24 doors — a 24-door box opens one a day from 1 December to Christmas Eve. The others run 10, 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
34 of the 62 here are 2026 editions, and 13 are last season's — still sold, often discounted, and with the contents already on the page. The 15 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
15 of the 62 here carry an editors' pick — the chip above the grid narrows the shelf to those — and 44 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

The best value among the calendars here that we have rated this season, rated 4/5, $49.99, 24 doors. Nineteen figures in a finish sold nowhere else, Pikachu, Eevee and the starters among them, and every one is named before you buy, which few toy calendars do. Two-inch figures rather than the larger Battle Feature size, and five of the 24 doors are scene accessories.
