Countdown to Christmas Part 2 - Alternative Advent Calendars

COUNTDOWN CHRISTMAS FUN

Selection of advent calendars

 

Here we are in November, and the festive panic is beginning to creep in! To help alleviate some of that stress, we’ve decided to explore some of the unique advent calendars available for 2024. We looked at the LEGO Advent Calendars a few weeks ago in our blog Countdown To Christmas With A LEGO Advent Calendar, so now we are looking at a varied selection of calendars, some for kids/young adults and you big kids too!

24 DAYS OF MINI GIFTS

COUNT DOWN TO LIFE DAY*

*All prices correct at the time of writing

There are many Star Wars-themed advent calendars available. We have found two that we think would appeal to many Jedis.

Buildable Stormtrooper figure advent calendar

Star Wars Stormtrooper Advent Calendar – 24 Days

This advent calendar enables you to build a Stormtrooper as each day unveils another piece of the buildable figure. It also includes pieces to create a base and a mini diorama for him to be displayed on. If there is a Sith Lord or Lady in your life who enjoys the countdown to Life Day, then this is the perfect calendar for them.


Star Wars Collectable Coins Advent Calendar

Star Wars Limited Edition Collectable Coins - Set of 24

  • Available from Zavvi for $34.99 £$64.99

Whilst we are unsure of the exact currency of these coins, there is bound to be a shady antiquities store owner (we’re looking at you, Dok—Ondar!) who will greedily accept them. The twenty-four coins have individually numbered display folders to keep them in, and as these are limited to 5,000, it’s a good way to keep them safe from nefarious space cowboys!


FESTIVE FUNKOS

Stranger Things Funko Advent Calendar

Funko Advent Calendar: Stranger Things 2024

Fans of the Upside Down will love counting down to Christmas with this Stranger Things Funko Advent Calendar. Behind each of the twenty-four doors can be found a Stranger Things Funko Pocket Pop!, fresh from Hawkins, Indiana. Whether you’re a fan of Lucas, Eleven, Vecna or the Demogorgon you will delight in opening the doors each day for a new surprise.


Dragon Ball Z Funko Advent Calendar

Dragon Ball Z Pop! Advent Calendar

  • Available from Zavvi for $49.99

Get your Super Saiyan on with this Dragonball Z Funko Pocket Pop! Advent Calendar. Finding your favourite character in this calendar will be easier than finding the elusive Dragonballs, as behind each of the twenty-four doors is an iconic character from Akira Toriyama’s legendary manga.


FROM BATS TO BREAD AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN

DC Comics Batman Collectable Coins Advent Calendar

Batman Limited Edition Collectable Coin Advent Calendar

  • Available from Zavvi for $42.99 $77.99

With twenty-four Batman-related coins to choose from, it’ll be hard to be like Harvey Dent and have a favourite coin. This calendar is a must for fans of the Caped Crusader, as each day will unveil one of Gotham’s heroes or many villains.

Mini Brands Advent Calendar

Mini Brands Grocery, Foodie Mini Brands

Available from Amazon for $22.49 $29.99

This may seem a strange inclusion to the list, but have you seen these things? They’re amazing and loved by adults and children.
