We found five LEGO® advent calendars on LEGO.com in the US for 2026: Star Wars ($44.99), Disney Princess ($44.99), Friends ($34.99), City ($34.99) and Marvel ($44.99). On November 5, 2026 the City and Marvel calendars were already sold out on LEGO.com.
For grown-ups, or for a calendar that ends in one finished model, you can make your own: split any instruction book into 24 days and bag each day’s pieces. How to do it is below.

For the sold-out calendars, check other toy retailers. Brickset lists all five as leaving LEGO’s range at the end of 2026.
Prices, piece counts and stock are from LEGO.com (US) on November 5, 2026, and they change often, especially around Insiders Weekend (November 21–22) and Black Friday to Cyber Monday (November 27–30). We’re independent of the LEGO Group and earn nothing from these links.
Set 40874 · 873 pieces · Ages 10+ · $59.99
A countdown display rather than an advent calendar with doors: Santa climbs into a chimney on a snowy roof, and you turn knobs each day to rotate the countdown blocks. It is meant to come out again every year.
For a grown-up household it is the better buy: you build it once and turn the blocks every December.
See it on LEGO.comOfficial calendars are a few small builds a day. A homemade one can be anything with step-by-step instructions, and it ends on December 24 with one finished model: a set you’ve been saving, a fan design, or something personal.
Paper bags pegged on a string, small boxes in a crate or a pocket calendar all work. Bagging takes an evening or two for a small build. For a boxed set, the numbered bags already split it into stages; you only need to divide the steps within them.

About 20 pieces a day suits children building with an adult; 40 to 80 suits an adult builder. Instruction books differ a lot in step size: in our own designs, houses of 1,600 to 3,300 pieces run to roughly 350 to 1,000 steps, while framed pictures have 10 to 140 bigger steps.
A calendar that ends with the family home or a favorite photo, built a little each night, is hard to beat. We design either from your photos for $19, ready within 24 hours.
Custom design $19, any size · Bricks sold separately, about $60–$110 for 500 pieces
Not a LEGO set: Your World in Bricks designs a model of any simple detached house from a few photos, with an illustrated instruction book and a parts list for real LEGO® bricks, ready within 24 hours. The bricks come from LEGO® Pick a Brick, BrickLink or the bins they already own.
A 500-piece house is about 21 pieces a day, a good size for a family building together.

Also ours: a favorite photo (the grandchildren, the dog, the beach) designed as framed brick wall art with step-by-step instructions and a parts list for real LEGO® bricks. A stylized picture rather than a photo-real portrait.
Turn a photo into brick artLoose bricks take longer than boxed sets. LEGO® quotes about 5 days for Pick a Brick Bestseller pieces and up to 28 business days for Standard pieces in the US (LEGO® Help, as of October 2026); BrickLink depends on each store. Our custom designs themselves are quick: usually ready in about an hour, delivered within 24 hours. Running late? Wrap the printed instruction book and let the bricks follow.
For a December 1 start, the bricks need to arrive by late November. Running late? Make it a 12-day calendar from December 13, or count down to New Year’s Eve instead.
Loose bricks are small parts: keep the bags out of reach of children under three and pets, and build at a table rather than on the floor.
We found five on LEGO.com in the US: Star Wars ($44.99, 293 pieces), Disney Princess ($44.99, 290), Friends ($34.99, 211), City ($34.99, 252) and Marvel ($44.99, 317). City and Marvel were sold out on LEGO.com on November 5, 2026.
We found none rated 18+ for 2026; the five calendars are rated 5+ or 6+. Adults often prefer Santa’s Holiday Countdown ($59.99, ages 10+), a display you turn each day and reuse every year, or a homemade calendar from a bigger set.
Take any build with step-by-step instructions, divide the steps into 24 days, and put each day’s pieces and instruction pages in a numbered bag. Sorting by color first makes the bagging faster.
It is themed on The Mandalorian, with the Mandalorian and Moff Gideon (Mando and Grogu in holiday sweaters), Grogu, IG-11, seven mini vehicles and creatures like the Mudhorn and a Bantha. 293 pieces, $44.99. Or make your own calendar.
