Get excited for LEGO Christmas Advent Calendars 2025 with a brand-new lineup, including a fresh theme and some nostalgic favorites.
Getting Ready Early with LEGO Advents
Hello, fellow LEGO fans! This year, the designers at The LEGO Group (TLG) have mixed things up: they’ve dropped one familiar calendar but introduced a brand-new theme! So alongside classics like Harry Potter, Friends, City, Star Wars, and last year’s Disney Princesses, a newcomer joins the party. Sadly, the Marvel superhero calendar is taking a bow this year.
30692: Christmas Chimney Fun with Santa
Let’s warm up with a little holiday polybag treat — the New Year’s Creator polybag. For years now, these adorable mini sets have been handed out in official stores during November and December. This one features a giant chimney and a lean Santa lugging oversized presents (imagine holding a gift box as big as your arm!). It’s a sweet little mood booster, not to be judged too seriously by logic. Release date: June 1, 2025 (surprise!). Piece count: 60. Price: about €4.
76456: LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar 2025
Harry Potter takes an unusual path this year, offering us eight minifigures — two from each house — with four unique torsos, each twice over. These torsos feature the classic knitted sweater, now a staple of Advent sets. Beyond the minifigs, the buildables span fantastical creatures, potions, and Hogwarts letters.
The set brims with unique and useful printed pieces, making it quite strong overall. Personally, I’d love more add-ons to previous sets, like chairs, signs, and new ghosts — things to enrich your existing collection. Release date: September 1, 2025. Pieces: 278. Price: €38.
42668: LEGO Friends Advent Calendar 2025
Friends continues to be a beacon of style and quality, and their Advent calendar holds true to this. The palette is lovely, with festive sweaters for the mini dolls and an impressive array of accessories and critters.
The downside? Most of the animals feel like repeats, with few unique ones, but that’s something to delve into further during the countdown. Overall, a solid set that’s sure to brighten your resource stash! Release date: September 1, 2025. Pieces: 237. Price: €30.
75418: LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2025
We live in amazing times, folks! Even the usually lumbering Star Wars calendar is shaking things up with a fresh format. The 2025 theme? Droids. At first glance, it doesn’t scream Christmas, but look closer: it’s a Santa’s workshop in a galaxy far, far away, crafting festive droids. It’s a clever twist with neat builds and some unique elements (though I’d love a few more).
This shakeup is good for Star Wars, breaking the mold of past years’ formula of a unique figure plus buildings and starships. This year is a whole new ballgame! Release date: September 1, 2025. Pieces: 263. Price: €38.
60475: LEGO City Advent Calendar 2025
Without knowing the last two calendars yet, this one already looks like the best in its category this year. The true highlight? The minifigures, all of top-notch quality. We get three amazing costumes in collectible series tradition, two new knitted sweaters for our collection, and the classic Claus couple!
There are critters, an alien child, and buildable mini-sets shaped like gifts to place under your tree. It’s not perfect, but it’s super cool and exactly what we need. Release date: September 1, 2025. Pieces: 186. Price: €30.
43273: LEGO Disney Advent Calendar 2025
Disney’s princesses have split their massive fanbase into subthemes, similar to what Marvel did before their calendar was retired. But this time, they played it smart, choosing the most Christmas-friendly franchise: Frozen.
Superheroes lasted four years, covering Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Spider-Man. Now Disney releases their second calendar, focusing solely on Frozen, and it looks splendid and adorable.
This set doubles as a board game, with a classic “roll-and-move” style board. The rules will be accessible via QR codes. The models are delightfully snowy and festive, packed with unique pieces, micro-figures, and critters. Definitely a perfect winter holiday set. Release date: September 1, 2025. Pieces: 231. Price: €38.
21280: LEGO Minecraft Advent Calendar 2025
Here’s the newcomer of the year — not Ninjago this time, but a full-on Minecraft calendar. Quite a surprise, in my opinion. Unless there are plans to close or rebrand Ninjago in the coming years, it’s about time for some holiday ninjas. But let’s focus on Minecraft!
It’s tricky to fully grasp what’s happening in the series, and the blocky design isn’t always easy to love. Still, for fans, this is a powerhouse: tons of figures with some unique torsos, a multitude of animals (because you simply can’t have too many farms!), and plenty of printed pieces useful for builds.
The set clearly embraces the winter theme, with snowy constructions and Christmas trees. Looks like I’m in for a tough countdown this year, sorting through Minecraft delights 24 times, figuring out who’s who, and trying to rate things fairly! Release date: September 1, 2025. Pieces: 300. Price: €38.
P.S. Minecraft tops the charts as the biggest set by piece count, promising a powerful debut in our Advent calendar rankings!
“Any modern set like these can be a treasure for fans, blending nostalgia with fresh creativity.”
