In general, the 2022 LEGO City Advent Calendar is an improvement over last year’s calendar, especially in terms of better builds that are more suitable for younger children and more variety and creativity in the builds.

For example, the Compartés Gourmet Chocolate Garden Advent Calendar lists all of the ingredients of the chocolate included in the product description, but be aware that it was made in a facility that handles common allergens like dairy, eggs, and tree nuts.Each door displays a different culture cheer-sing to the holiday season with an international wine hidden behind the door.

The ethical principles stack up quickly: Tony’s is committed to reducing slavery in chocolate production, the cocoa used is all Fairtrade, free from palm oil and has no plastic packaging. All of the candies use real New Hampshire maple syrup and dairy products directly from a farm in Massachusetts. Count down to the big day with a classic chocolate version, or discover one of our favourite alternatives. Each puzzle reveals a festive scene, like a garland strung on a fireplace or reindeer with light-covered antlers.Plus, the calendar's box features adorable illustrations done by artist Cindy Hendricks, so you'll want to display it all month long.

Seeing as Lego has been coming out with lots of inverted versions of pieces as well as a fair number of parts that fille in the gaps on things like the various macaroni elements, here was a chance that we might be seeing a new part that would have been finding it’s way into other sets. As much as it has become a tradition to get the Star Wars calendar, as much has it been to turn to this blog to get a clue about what the models are of, since I’m not that well-versed in Star Wars lore. If you happen to live in Europe or can find it at a steep discount, it becomes a much better value and deserves consideration.

The 2023 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar (75366) brings joy to the holidays with eight unique characters, including Emperor Palpatine, Ewok, Pit Droid, Gonk Droid as a reindeer, Omega with a sledge, 212th Clone Trooper, B-1 Battle Droid, and Princess Leia, all dressed in festive outfits.
