Star Trek Enterprise Advent Countdown Character Statue
If you’re more of a Trekkie, or if you want a different kind of advent calendar, Numskull has an amazing option. Instead of getting a little gift or treat every day, this character statue set will let you build a model U.S.S. Enterprise every day. By the time you reach Christmas morning, you’ll be boldly ready to go where no advent calendar has gone before.
National Parks Advent Calendar
TV shows, comics, and movies aren’t the only way to nerd out during the festive holiday season. There are all sorts of advent calendars for every dork, including this very nerdy National Parks set. It celebrates the geysers, canyons, forests, and wildlife that make up one of America’s best ideas.
Bluey Mini Figures Christmas Advent Calendar
Advent calendars are a great way to direct little ones’ excitement in the lead-up to Christmas. It’s also a fun thing to look forward to doing with them during an often stressful part of the year for adults. That’s what makes this Bluey set a perfect choice for any household with youngsters. It turns one of the best kids shows on television into a daily dose of joy.
Funko Pop! Countdown Calendar: The Nightmare Before Christmas
What’s this? What’s this? A Funko everywhere! What’s this? What’s this? An advent calendar that celebrates one of the few movies ever made that is perfect to watch at two different holidays. Having Jack Skellington and the rest of Halloweentown’s denizens show up every day during December is a great way to get ready for Christmas. But unlike most advent calendars, you really get great value on this advent calendar. You can then put these collectibles on display next October, too.
One Piece Advent Calendar
It’s a One Piece world, and we’re all just living in it. After roughly 80 million episodes, films, specials, and more, the animated series made the move to live-action in 2023. That show is ready to set sail again soon, so this advent calendar, which comes with a wide arrays of gifts celebrating the series, will help you count down the days until both Christmas and to One Piece‘s return at Netflix next March.
The Simpsons Advent Calendar Christmas Holiday
The Simpsons has been a part of our holiday celebration since its fantastic first episode on December 17, 1989. “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” showed that even a family that spends Christmas Eve at a racetrack could still find the Christmas spirit. And with this advent calendar, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie can do the same for you every day.
Super Mario Advent Calendar
We’ve spent our entire lives playing Super Mario Bros, including for way too many hours during holiday breaks. But while we obviously love spending time with Mario, Luigi, and all their friends and foes in December already, we really love the Christmas-themed figures found in this super excellent advent calendar. It’s him! Santa Mario!
LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Advent Calendar
We’ll have a good Christmas if Santa brings us lots of LEGO sets, but you can make sure the whole month is full of plastic brick goodness with this great LEGO Spider-Man advent calendar. It’s full of fantastic mini-figs of Spidey heroes and villains. It also requires some actual LEGO building. And even when it’s time to put away your holiday decor you can keep this out to play with all year.
