LEGO Advent Calendars 2026: All Five Sets Compared, From $34.99 City to $44.99 Star Wars, Marvel and Disney

LEGO has five advent calendars for 2026, priced from $34.99 to $44.99 on LEGO.com: City and Friends at the lower price, and Star Wars, Marvel and Disney Princess at the higher one. All five went on sale Sept. 1, and each has 24 doors to open from Tuesday, Dec. 1 to Christmas Eve. Harry Potter fans will be disappointed: there is no Harry Potter calendar this year.

What’s inside each one

City (60510), $34.99. LEGO’s classic Christmas calendar, for ages 5 and up. Brick Fanatics lists minifigures of Santa, Mrs. Claus and elves, plus a snowman and a baby reindeer among the 24 mini builds. The box folds out into a Santa’s workshop play mat.

Friends (42698), $34.99. The smallest set at 211 pieces, built around animals. It comes with three mini-dolls, Liann, Nova and Aliya, and mini animals including a seal, a pony, a polar bear and a penguin, according to Brickset.

Star Wars (75456), $44.99. This year’s calendar follows The Mandalorian. Brick Fanatics reports the Mandalorian and Grogu in holiday sweaters, Moff Gideon and Carson Teva, alongside micro builds such as the Razor Crest, Mando’s N-1 starfighter, an X-wing, an Imperial shuttle and a Jawa sandcrawler.

Marvel (76340), $44.99. The biggest set, at 317 pieces, with six minifigures. The headline figures are Wolverine in a Christmas sweater and a comic-style Doctor Doom, his first LEGO appearance since 2013, according to Brick Fanatics.

Disney Princess (43298), $44.99. LEGO describes it as advent surprises “and a game”: the box turns into a board game. BrickEconomy lists micro-dolls of Ariel, Cinderella, Moana and Mulan with Gus, Mushu, Pua and Sebastian.

Buying tips

TechRadar reported in October that some 2026 LEGO calendars were already selling out in some regions. LEGO calendars are sometimes discounted at major retailers around Black Friday, but stock can run thin by then; Black Friday 2026 is Nov. 27 (see when Black Friday falls). Because the first door opens on Dec. 1, ordering by Thanksgiving week gives delivery the most room.

If a calendar is sold out, a free printable works too: our advent calendar 2026 guide has four, and the Disney pin advent calendar is a pricier option for collectors. To plan the month, print a December 2026 calendar; Christmas Eve is the last door.
