By Mulder, 06 november 2025

As the holidays approach, Advent calendars are making a strong comeback on toy store shelves, and this year once again, they cleverly combine play, collecting, and little daily surprises. From adorable worlds to equestrian magic and sorcery straight from Hogwarts, this selection offers three sets that will make children's eyes light up (and parents who have never really stopped loving opening little boxes...). Here is a complete overview of the new 2025 editions, which promise to make the wait for Christmas sweeter, more fun, and above all, full of imagination.

Littlest Pet Shop Advent Calendar

The Littlest Pet Shop Advent Calendar is back with an absolutely irresistible edition for fans of cute mini creatures. Each day, a window opens to reveal either one of eight exclusive winter-themed animals or one of sixteen different accessories, ranging from festive headbands and colorful necklaces to a miniature campfire and even a collectible card. This box set builds on the codes that made the range so successful, while adding an interactive dimension with a code that gives access to virtual surprises and digital companions. Designed for children aged 4 and up, this calendar offers the perfect balance between collecting, imagination, and sharing—especially since it allows children to join the large and passionate Littlest Pet Shop community. It's a great way to wait for Christmas while expanding your collection.

Horse Club Advent Calendar

This year's Horse Club Advent Calendar offers a heartwarming journey to the heart of Lakeside, where winter is slowly setting in and a true Christmas miracle is in the making: the birth of three exclusive foals. Each day offers a new surprise related to the equestrian world, including accessories, care items, and figurines that allow children to recreate a tender and magical scene around the young horses. The accompanying story features Sarah (or Sofia, depending on the edition), who gently watches over the foals and accompanies children in this daily ritual. Perfect for adding to an existing miniature riding center or stable, this calendar is aimed at enthusiasts aged 4 and up. This advent calendar combines poetry, imagination, and Christmas spirit in a box set that will thrill Horse Club fans.

Harry Potter Mini Figurine Advent Calendar – Series 1

For the first time, J.K. Rowling's universe is featured in a mini-figurine calendar by Schleich® with this Series 1, which is sure to become a prized collector's item. Behind each of the 24 windows is a mini figurine inspired by the most memorable characters, creatures, and symbols from the Harry Potter universe, allowing children (and Muggle adults) to relive the magic of Hogwarts day after day. This edition inaugurates a new range that, unsurprisingly, emphasizes the quality of the figurines, their authenticity, and the diversity of the characters represented. Each daily discovery enhances the magic of the holidays while enriching an existing collection or starting a whole new adventure. This calendar is aimed at both young fans and seasoned collectors who are delighted to celebrate Christmas with a touch of witchcraft.

Between the tenderness of Petshop, the poetry of Horse Club, and the enchantment of Harry Potter, these three 2025 Advent calendars offer a beautiful array of worlds to keep children waiting until December 24. Each one offers a real daily experience, combining surprises, storytelling, and collecting, true to the magical spirit of the holidays. A perfect selection for those who want to combine fun, imagination, and tradition, while bringing a new spark of joy each morning.
