Spoiler Alert:  Get them an advent calendar with their favorite characters (and toy)!

Toy Advent Calendars For Kids at Christmas 2022

We may earn commission from the links on this page, but we still only recommend products we love. Yes, really.  Here's how we do it!

    🏆  The Top 4 Advent Toy Calendars:
  • Wizarding World of Harry Potter – $39.99 – Read Review Here
  • A Christmas Story – $39.99 – Read Review Here
  • Disney’s Mickey Mouse Christmas – $23.50 – Read Review Here
  • The Office (TV Show) – $39.99 – Read Review Here

Advent calendars actually started in the church but, most recently, they’re in everyones house as a fun way for the kiddos to countdown the number of days until Christmas and get a little surprise toy treat or two each and every day.

Similar to The Elf on the Shelf, realistic parents use these calendars as a way to bribe their kids to “be good” and “stop fighting with their sister” or else “you won’t be able to open your calendar box today!”  Isn’t parenting grand!?

Typically, you’ll start using your calendar on December 1st and each day the kiddos will open up the surprise box for that day and see what kind of little toy or gift is inside.  This fun little activity will take place each day until Christmas (or the 24th if actual Christmas morning trumps your calendar gift which, to be honest, it usually does).

Some of these advent calendars will come with the little gifts as part of the package and others are empty (and more ‘box-like’) and you can fill it with whatever you want.  One thing we know for sure is that you typically need to get yours ASAP because it’s nearly impossible to find one once November rolls around.  Plus, after all the money you’ve already spent on their Christmas toys, isn’t it nice that these are super small and relatively affordable?!

Check out some of our personal favorite Advent Calendars (so far) this month that even you (as an adult) would enjoy too.  You’ll see what we mean!

While there may have not been a new Harry Potter movie (or book) in a while, when it comes to Advent Calendars they’re typically some of the to sellers season after season.  And if your kiddos are into cute little toys, they’re going to love all the tiny toy surprises hiding behind each door they can discover each and every day.  If fact, there are 24 little toys in total.  And when we say little, we mean it.  Each character is – at most – 2 inches tall.

On the double, Ralphie!  Our personal newbie this year is the A Christmas Story advent calendar that comes with 24 different windows to open up each and every day up until Christmas revealing a cute little toy from the classic movie.  It even includes toys like Ralphie in his famous pink bunny outfit, his broken glasses, the leg lamp, and so many more.  As an adult, we totally want this too.

6. Best for The Office Fan

While this one is geared towards kids 6 years old and up, let’s be honest, it’s really for the tweens/teens and adults who are still obsessed with The Office.  Inside you’ll find 24 different surprises, including some of your favorite things like Dwight, Jim, Pam, Michael Scott, and so many more. Each character measures in under 2.5 inches, so they make cute little collectibles to display on your desk, locker, night stand – you name it.
