2024 LEGO Advent Calendars, Day 24 [Feature]

We’ve made it to the end. Christmas Eve is here and with it, the final doors of our six advent calendars. LEGO tends to hold a special treat for the final day. Still no sign of Red One… Maybe Moana can ask her friend The Rock to help track him down. Or we could just open the doors and see what we find! We have six calendars to get through: Friends, Disney, City, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Spider-Man. Which has been your favorite this year?

As ever, our intrepid TBB team is on hand with witty comments, insightful observations, and bad jokes for each day’s builds. And of course, you can add your own thoughts in the comments section each day! So without further ado, let’s crack open the build for day 24…

2024 LEGO Advent Calendars, Day 23 [Feature]

It’s December 23rd, aka Christmas Eve Eve! Only two doors remain. How about a little trivia first? The first LEGO Harry Potter calendar debuted in 2019. This year’s iteration echoes that version with a few very similar builds, and the same professor – Flitwick! But while 2019 had a younger-looking dapper Flitwick, this year we get the wizened whitebeard version from the first two films. Why two such different takes? Thank Alfonso Cuaron, director of Prisoner of Azkaban, who restyled the character for a cameo appearance that ended up sticking for later films. A win for Warwick Davis who was spared a lot of extra prosthetic makeup! What will Harry Potter’s calendar bring today, not to mention our other gifts from Friends, Disney, City, Star Wars, and Spider-Man?

As ever, our intrepid TBB team is on hand with witty comments, insightful observations, and bad jokes for each day’s builds. And of course, you can add your own thoughts in the comments section each day! So without further ado, let’s crack open the build for day 23…

2024 LEGO Advent Calendars, Day 22 [Feature]

Only three days left of our annual calendar spree. I’m going to miss these posts and sharing the opening experience with the team and with you, our readers. Before we begin, perhaps a little more trivia? In 2008 LEGO released the first Castle advent calendar and there was much rejoicing… in some parts of the world. The US and Canada weren’t officially supported for this set, which created quite an uproar with our readers! A Kingdoms calendar appeared two years later, marking the last time LEGO Castle appeared in advent form. While we don’t have Castle doors to open this year, we do have Friends, Disney, City, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Spider-Man!

2024 LEGO Advent Calendars, Day 21 [Feature]

What’s your favorite holiday sweet? Candy canes? Cookies? Fudge? …Fruit cake? In Denmark, where our Advent Calendars are designed, this is the season for Æbleskiver, which are pancake balls served with jam. Fresh from the griddle at a winter market, there’s nothing better! But the powdered sugar and jam would make for sticky Friends, Disney, City, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Spider-Man!

2024 LEGO Advent Calendars, Day 20 [Feature]

December 20th is here already? We’ve emerged from the awkward teenage years of calendar doors and entered the roaring 20s. Before we start, how about a little more LEGO advent calendar trivia? The first Star Wars calendar was released in 2011 and the theme has appeared each year since. It shares 4 ships with this year’s calendar. Of course this year Star Wars is joined by Friends, Disney, City, Harry Potter, and Spider-Man!

2024 LEGO Advent Calendars, Day 19 [Feature]

Happy holidays, dear calendar fans! Before we dig into today’s boxes, let’s start with a little LEGO advent history. The first LEGO advent calendar was released in 1998 featuring basic bricks and one Santa minifigure. It wasn’t until 2004 that LEGO released two choices in one year. That second calendar option? Clikits! How far we’ve come. This year we have Friends, Disney, City, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Spider-Man!

2024 LEGO Advent Calendars, Day 13 [Feature]

December 13th! Here in Sweden, today is Lucia, a celebration of songs and lights to mark the darkest day of winter. Today we feast on “lussekatter” saffron-flavored buns and listen to the youth dressed as white-robed Lucia, star boys, Santas, and gingerbread men as they sing carols. Thanks to our Danish neighbors, it’s also the day when we open the 13th door of our LEGO advent calendars: Friends, Disney, City, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Spider-man await!
