While it might seem a bit early to be thinking about Christmas, retailers insist on putting out Christmas stock earlier and earlier every year, so it’s almost impossible to avoid, despite only being September.

Advent calendars are one of the most beloved ways to count down the days till Christmas, and over the past few years alternative calendars that boast goodies like alcohol and beauty products instead of chocolate have exploded in popularity.

Getting in on the advent calendar game once again is Lego, offering something a bit different for those who might not have a sweet tooth - this is what you need to know.

What’s in the Lego advent calendar?

As to be expected, each calendar door hides a Lego piece instead of a piece of chocolate.

Lego dropped its advent calendars today (Wednesday 1 September), and there are five new calendars to choose from:

  • Star Wars calendar, which comes with Mandalorian themed pieces, like Baby Yoda, a Tusken Raider and the Razor Crest
  • Marvel The Avengers calendar, which features seven minifigures including Iron Man, Spider-Man and Black Widow
  • Harry Potter calendar, which includes the magical trio of Harry, Hermione and Ron
  • A friends calendar, which isn’t that friends, but simply a kit that comes with five dolls - Andrea, Emma, Mia, Olivia and Stephanie
  • City calendar, which allows youngsters to build their own Lego city

Each calendar comes with 24 doors, and the number of pieces in each calendar can reach up to over 300.

You should be aware that there is a limit to two calendars per household.
