Promising review: “We have been buying the Star Wars Advent Calendar for the last 5 years and love it everytime. This year is no different! I love that it is different every time. They have tiny little sets and figurines from all the different Star Wars story lines which is fun to figure out where each one comes from. We love this every year!” —Jennifer
Price: $35.99 (originally $44.99)
2. A National Geographic science kit and rock collection Advent calendar for 20% off, perfect for the budding geologist. This kit has 24 days of experiments, gemstones, and cool STEM projects for kids (or adults) who love all things geology. It has hands-on experiments like growing crystal trees and includes 11 stunning specimens, like geodes and amethyst.
Promising review: “We used this set for an advent plus homeschooling science projects. I normally get overwhelmed by science kits but these experiments were easy, fun, and only a few steps. The mineral specimens and fossils were nice and very pretty. I like that there were enough of each ingredient to do each experiment more than once. I highly recommend this even if you don’t use it for an advent calendar, just use it for some cool science experiments. Worth the money for sure.” —Heremeow
Price: $31.99 (originally $39.99)
3. A Funko Advent Calendar: The Office for 45% off to help you relive the best moments from Dunder Mifflin (or just decorate your desk in the most ridiculous way possible).

Promising review: “The Funko Advent Calendar: The Office was an absolute hit in our house, especially with my son. It’s like a mini Christmas each morning, unwrapping a new character from “The Office.” As fans of the show, the excitement of discovering which beloved character we’d get next added an extra layer of fun to our holiday countdown. The quality and detail of each Funko pop figure were impressive, capturing the essence of the show’s quirky characters. It was a great way to build up to Christmas, with a daily surprise that never failed to bring a smile to our faces. This calendar turned our December mornings into a delightful guessing game of ‘Which Dunder Mifflin employee will it be today?’ For any “The Office” enthusiast, this Funko Advent Calendar is a must-have.” —Flingalings

Promising review: “What a hit this was with my kids. Each puzzle is the perfect amount of challenge, takes 5-10 minutes each day, so just right. The pieces are sturdy and fit together nicely, not like a cheap puzzle at all. The design was high quality and adorable. I expect we’ll build this year after year and used it as a decoration for weeks after it was complete.” —A. Wilson
Price: $16.89 (originally $19.99)
6. A National Geographic magic advent calendar for 20% off that’s packed with 24 science and magic tricks, from making a coin disappear to creating a fizzy, color-changing potion — because science can be fun and a little mysterious. Bonus: it comes with a link to professional magician tutorials so your mini magic show is holiday-party ready.
Promising review: “We’ve purchased many advent calendars in the past with either chocolate, figurines, or squishies, etc. which are nice to collect but don’t have a lot of value after Christmas. I think they’re all put away in a closet now, and the enjoyment of opening each day’s ‘door’ was short-lived. This National Geographic Magic Advent Calendar actually gave us stuff to DO, and we looked forward to learning a new trick or trying out a little experiment every day. Some of the tricks build on previous ones so you need to open them all in order. There are a few really neat science experiments and you can learn a lot about bases, acids/alkali, and disclosers. It was fun learning the tricks and then performing them for other family members. They were amazed and baffled at how we accomplished the tricks and we all had a good time. It’s also helpful to learn some of the ‘banter’ that goes with magic and the misdirection that is very important to make the tricks go over well.” —The Color Nine
Price: $23.99 (originally $29.99)
7. A Funko Disney advent calendar for 34% off because who needs regular ornaments when you can deck the halls with mini Mickeys?

Promising review: “We are on day 16 of this and my family absolutely loves it! Every day this is one of the first things we do and we are always so excited to open up a new one and see an adorable new character. No two Funkos have been the same, just different versions of the same character. We love it though!!! Definitely worth the money for cuteness and exciting memories with my toddler.” —Bri
Price: $32.99 (originally $49.99)

Promising review: “This was a great calendar to enjoy with my nieces. The pieces were adorable and colorful and everything was accounted for. The board was interactive in that we matched all of the MLP characters on the board illustration as we opened up the days. I certainly recommend for a special holiday bonding and memory-making experience.” —Natalie
