Between trimming the tree and finding the perfect present for everyone on our list, one holiday tradition that reigns supreme is counting down the days 'til Christmas with an advent calendar. While it's fun to check off the days with candy or snacks, we're partial to more interactive options that will keep little ones entertained for hours, like LEGO's popular advent calendars.
If you haven't snagged your family's advent calendar yet, it's not too late: Right now, LEGO's 2024 Friends advent calendar is 36% off on Amazon. At just $21, this is the lowest price we've ever seen for this limited-edition calendar.
When it comes to LEGO advent calendars, we recommend shopping as soon as possible, as the brand's popular holiday countdowns are notorious for selling out quickly. In fact, over 20,000 of the LEGO Friends calendars have been sold in the past month, which means there's a chance we could see it sell out completely (especially at a deal this steep). Not to mention, several of this year's calendars, including the Star Wars and Lego City versions, have already sold out on Amazon.
Complete with 24 days' worth of buildable activities, anyone ages 6 and up can unveil a snowball catapult, snowy trains, letter to Santa station and LEGO Friends character Paisley, her family, her pets and her friend Olly. Intended to help kids to reflect on their own holiday traditions, this calendar is designed to support social-emotional skills and foster imaginative play, just like other popular LEGO sets. Best of all, your family will have a blast playing and replaying with this 272-piece set long after they've opened the final doors.
Several other new-to-2024 LEGO advent calendars are still available on Amazon, including character-specific versions for families that love Disney, Marvel, or Harry Potter. Don't delay: You won't want to be caught on December 1 without an advent calendar for your kiddos to enjoy!
