Which Lego® Advent calendar is best in 2026?
If price and piece count matter most, the Lego City Advent Calendar 60510 is the strongest value on paper. It shares the lowest list price with Friends but has 41 more pieces, plus a fold-out playmat. The best choice still depends on the recipient's favorite theme and characters.

- Santa, elves and a baby reindeer
The City calendar is made for builders ages 5 and up. Its surprises include Santa, Mrs. Claus, three elves, a snowman and a baby reindeer. The box folds out into a playmat showing Santa's workshop, making this a strong choice for younger children and existing Lego City collections.
Lego® Friends Advent Calendar 2026 (42698)
- 211 pieces
- Ages 6 and up

Liann, Nova and Aliya take part in winter activities throughout the Friends calendar. The six small animals are a seal, pony, weasel, polar bear, penguin and bunny. It has the fewest pieces in the lineup (211) and the same Lego list price as City, so choose between them by theme rather than price.
