Countdown to Christmas: 2025 LEGO Advent Calendars Guide.
The holiday season might still be months away, but LEGO is already getting festive with the launch of its 2025 Advent Calendar collection — six sets in total, each packed with 24 days of surprise builds, characters, and accessories to make December magical. Releasing this autumn, these LEGO® Advent Calendars are a great way to make the countdown to Christmas extra special for kids (and let’s be honest, for plenty of adults too).
From Star Wars droids to Harry Potter magic, from Minecraft adventures to Frozen fairy tales — plus festive fun in LEGO Friends and LEGO City — there’s a calendar for every taste and fandom. While these sets make brilliant seasonal gifts, from an investment perspective, Advent Calendars rarely offer strong returns at full price. For LEGO investors, the smarter play is to target post-Christmas clearance sales, ideally at 40% off or more, then hold until they retire.
