Ready to choose your Countdown to Christmas Advent Calendars?
I never had advent calendars growing up so it wasn’t a tradition I started with my own boys right away. In fact it wasn’t until the last three years when they were over 8yrs old that we decided to give advent calendars a try.
Turns out the boys loved them and over the last couple of years we’ve had a blast with the Playmobil and Lego advent calendars. This year, I wanted to see what else was out there for boys to countdown the days until Christmas and I’ve listed a few of them below in case you were interested too!

Thanks for gathering all these together,nice choices!
I actually bought a Star Wars one on clearance last year after Christmas for my granddaughter. She loves Star Wars thanks to her Daddy who is a super big Star Wars fan. Looking forward to seeing her reaction when my daughter gives it to her.
Great idea to grab one at the end of the season!
My daughter would totally love any of the lego advents ! honestly I didnt even know these were a thing !
The crayola, reese and Despicable Me Calendars are my favorites but Lego is always a hit too! Honestly, my daughter would love any one of these.
my daughter would love so many of these! especially the star wars one. the only one she wouldnt touch is the Reece one, she’s weird and doesn’t like peanutbutter. that one is all mine! lol
wonderful Advent calender choices! I really like the option of non chocolate ones!
What a great idea to grab one at the end of the season. My grandkids love theirs, Lego is especially popular amongst them. Me, I love the cross-stitch ones I made for my own 7 kids and for my 7 grandkids, still one to make and another two grandbabies on the way – a job never finished!
So many choices. My kids would love them
