The 2022 LEGO Advent Calendars Just Dropped & They’re the Coolest Versions Ever
It might be almost Halloween, but our LEGO-lovin’ hearts are with these brand new LEGO advent calendars. It’s never too early to start celebrating the holidays, after all! And with fun LEGO minifigs from the world of Harry Potter, Marvel Studios, and of course good old Santa Claus himself, we’re having trouble narrowing down which to choose. (Is there a rule that says you can’t open multiple advent calendars per day? We don’t think there’s a rule.)
A little history about the advent calendars we know and love today: the actual tradition dates back to the mid-1800s, when German Protestants would make chalk marks or light candles each day as a countdown to Christmas. Gerhard Lang is widely credited with printing the first version of the “modern-day” advent calendar around 1900, and Dwight D. Eisenhower helped popularize them in the United States during his presidency, when he was photographed opening up an advent calendar with his grandkids.

Of course, the kids way-back-when didn’t get to open up anything quite as cool as a LEGO advent calendar — but our kids do, which is why we’re stoked that these are available now. They’re already hitting the Amazon bestseller lists, so grab one (or more!) before they’re sold out — because it tends to happen fast.
An advent calendar that our kids will love and it doesn’t involve a sugar rush afterward? Sign. Us. Up. Best of all, they can all be paired with the LEGO sets your kid already owns for a new world of play possibilities!
