Each year, I work on keeping my older blog post series, The Ultimate List of LEGO Holiday Sets, updated with all the new sets that have come out for the year. Welcome to Part 3 of this series, where we cover the LEGO Advent Calendars…updated for 2023. We hope you enjoy the update to the list!
Last week, I started a series, The Ultimate List of LEGO Holiday Sets. We’ve gone through sets that will work for you if you want to create a winter village and sets to help you fill out that winter village layout.
LEGO Advent Calendars
Today we’ll go through the LEGO Advent Calendar series. These could have also been listed in Part 2 of the series, but since they have an additional function other than just getting added to a winter layout, we’ve given them their own post.
They’re a great way to get filler pieces for any winter village builds. Each advent calendar comes with a mix of 24 mini builds – accessories and minifigures… more than enough to add some additional pizzaz to any holiday decoration setup you create. Below are all the advent calendars from 2016, plus affiliate links (at no additional cost to you – always), where you can purchase the past year’s advent calendars.
2023 LEGO City Advent Calendar (60381)

2023 LEGO Marvel Avengers Advent Calendar (76267)
LEGO Marvel advent calendars are a brand new thing in the past few years. While we’re less interested in the mini builds, we love the Christmas sweaters you can pick up… along with the extra parts to beef out your LEGO collection. You can purchase the 2023 version on Shop@Home and Amazon.

2023 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar (75366)
Finally! A Star Wars advent calendar that doesn’t come with a weapons rack! Darth Vader in a Christmas sweater is always great, but also love seeing the ewoks Christmas headgear. You can purchase the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar on Shop@Home and Amazon.

2023 LEGO Friends Advent Calendar (41758)
This year’s Friends advent calendar feels less Christmas-y and definitely carries more of the color pop from the the line reboot. However, I can easily forgive that due to the amount of animals added to the calendar! This is a great set if you’re looking to help boost someone’s animal collection.
You can pick up the LEGO Friends Advent Calendar through Shop@Home and then through Amazon when they run out.

Are you a Harry Potter fan? You’ll be happy to know the LEGO Harry Potter advent calendar is returning for 2020. Just like last year, the calendar is not strictly targeted to a winter theme. However, there are several builds in this set that would lend themselves well to your winter village.

LEGO 24-in-1 Holiday Countdown Advent Calendar (40222)
In 2015, LEGO introduced a promotional set you could only pick up with a $99 purchase during the month of November. This is an excellent set for those of you that don’t necessarily need minifigures and want something you can rebuild over and over each year. You won’t be able to find the set in stores, but you can pick it the LEGO 24-in-1 Holiday Countdown Advent Calendar (40222) on Amazon.
There are some even older advent calendars I may some day add to this listing, but for now you’ll have your hands full! In the meantime, how do you like this year’s advent calendars… and what do you think of the Harry Potter set?
