24 doorsEditors’ pickHow to choose a toy advent calendar
- Step 01
Ask what the maker will tell you before you buy
A toy calendar is either a set whose every build is printed or a lottery of small parts, and the makers split cleanly: LEGO prints every set; Pokémon names every figure; Mattel's boxes say what is inside and not which door holds it; the figure calendars from Schleich and Funko keep the line-up secret beyond a few exclusives. The score on every page follows that.
- Step 02
Prefer a printed list, or know why there is none
73 of the 73 here come with the maker's list of what is behind the doors — BABY born Advent Calendar Christmas Bakery 2026, Barbie Holiday 2026 and Blokees Transformers Christmas Advent Calendar 2026 among them; 0 do not. A secret line-up on a toy box is a lottery you paid thirty for, and the pages say so.
- Step 03
Compare the price per door
Across the 73 here with a list price, a door costs from about $1 to about $23, and the median is about $1.48. Every calendar page ranks its own door price against this shelf. How the door price is counted
- Step 04
Start from this season's, from the ones we have opened
73 of the 125 on this page are 2026 editions and every one carries a verdict from us. The earlier editions stay listed for the record; 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.
