An advent calendar is an easy gift for a fan: one small figure behind each door, from a franchise they already love. Funko and LEGO both make them, in 24-day and shorter 13-day versions. Here are the ones we found for Pokémon, Star Wars, Marvel, Harry Potter, Disney and more, each checked on Amazon on October 2 and 3, 2026.
The short list. For a builder, the LEGO Marvel Advent Calendar 2026. For a Star Wars fan, Funko's Pocket Pop! Star Wars calendar. For a Pokémon fan, the Bitty Pop! Pokémon calendar.
