The countdown to the holidays is on and LEGO is making it more exciting than ever with five new LEGO Advent Calendars featuring Star Wars, Marvel, Harry Potter, LEGO Friends, and LEGO City.

Each calendar has 24 boxes filled with LEGO surprises, but the calendars themselves also make festive display pieces. The Star Wars Advent Calendar includes five LEGO Star Wars minifigures, three LEGO droid figures, and 16 mini builds. Fans will find C-3PO and R2-D2 in holiday sweaters and vehicles to build, like a Bad Batch Shuttle, a Hoth AT-ST, and more. The Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar comes with six minifigures (Star-Lord, Rocket, Groot, Mantis, Nebula, and Drax), and buildable toys, such as a drone and the Guardians’ spaceship.

The Harry Potter Advent Calendar comes with seven minifigures — including Harry Potter, Sirius Black, and Moaning Myrtle — and iconic items from the Harry Potter films. Kids can use the first three toys to create a scene from the first movie, the next three toys to make a scene from the second movie, and so on. There is also a bonus game to play so once kids reveal all the toys, they can use them to play the game.

The LEGO Friends Advent Calendar is packed with buildable models to celebrate the holidays and comes with four figures, including Santa, for storytelling. The LEGO City Advent Calendar features gifts from the LEGO City Adventures TV series, including characters Billy, Maddy, Mr. Produce, Tippy, and Raze, as well as a Santa minifigure. An easy-to-follow construction guide is printed inside each calendar door for all of the mini builds.

The Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendars are $44.99 each, while the LEGO City and LEGO Friends Advent Calendars are $34.99 each. Get them at lego.com or LEGO stores.
