Look. We know it's only September and your bathing suit still has some sand stuck in it. We know it's not even Halloween season, let alone the holiday season. That doesn't change the fact that your favorite LEGO Advent calendar is already available for 2026 and will probably sell out long before Mariah Carey begins her annual thawing process.

LEGO City Advent Calendar 2026
If you're just down with the holiday vibe and something of a Christmas purist, the LEGO City Advent calendar is a fun and festive option. It features 24 small gifts, including mini builds and minifigures of Santa, Mrs. Claus, elves, a snowman and a baby reindeer. If you fold out the box, you will find a Santa's Workshop playmat perfect for letting kids create their builds.
LEGO Disney Princess Advent Calendar 2026
It includes minifigures of Ariel, Cinderella, Moana, Mulan and four of their animal companions (Sebastian, Gus, Pua and Mushu), along with a piano, gingerbread castle, campfire and marshmallow, musical instruments, a fireplace with a wreath, presents and more. The box unfolds to become a game board for up to eight players and includes a buildable game spinner.
LEGO Marvel Advent Calendar 2026
Young Marvel fans will be super excited to open this Advent calendar featuring minifigures of Spider-Man, Iron Man, Doctor Doom, Captain America, Wolverine and more. The 24 surprise toys include a snowball cannon, helicopter, airplane, robot, car, truck, photo booth, an X-Jet-themed sleigh, a Captain America-themed snowman and a Christmas tree made with green Wolverine claws.
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2026
May the force and all the holiday cheer be with you thanks to this adorable Star Wars LEGO Advent calendar featuring minifigures of The Mandalorian and Grogu in holiday sweaters, Moff Gideon, Carson Teva and Jawa. The set also includes eight buildable vehicles: Mando’s N-1 Starfighter, The Razor Crest, a speeder bike, Sandcrawler, Imperial Shuttle, Mandalorian Gauntlet Fighter, Imperial Light Cruiser and an X-wing.
LEGO Friends Advent Calendar 2026
This super-cute set features minifigures of Liann, Nova and Aliya, plus mini animals including a seal, pony, polar bear, penguin and more. Kids can count down to Christmas by exploring fun winter activities, such as snowball throwing, sleigh rides, sipping hot chocolate and building a snowman. The revealed daily gifts also include festive hats, gifts, cookies, marshmallows for toasting, a passport and more.
If smiling is your favorite, this Buddy the Elf build is the perfect way to bring the holiday spirit without having to sing loud for all to hear (thought we don't mind if you do). Buddy is on pre-order right now and will be available on Oct. 1. He's sure to sell out fast, so if you want him, get him.
The holiday classic "Home Alone" has inspired all kinds of merch over the years, but a 3,955-piece LEGO build is among the most iconic. It's definitely not made for little ones, but building it could be a fun family activity while eating pizza and watching the classic movie.
An Advent calendar is fun for the kiddos, but this buildable calendar lets you count down the days with a Santa all ready for display. It has numbers that move with each passing day, giving you a little something to look forward to as the 25th comes closer. This one is on pre-order now and available Oct. 1, but we have a feeling it will be popular, so claim yours now.
Let the kids point proudly to the LEGO Snowman ornaments they built themselves. They each have their own tiny snowman accessories, including a top hat, lantern, beanie and wrapped holiday gift. They are made for ages 6 and up, so they aren't too difficult to create.
