LEGO City 2024 Advent Calendar: This special advent calendar is packed with colourful characters, and seasonal items to help create a perfect holiday scene. You can also fold out the play mat on the box to create a lovely winter village scene. Each surprise toy comes with easy-to-understand instructions.

If you or your loved ones are always game for a jigsaw puzzle, this advent calendar is a no-brainer. With a near-perfect overall rating and over 600 buys in the last month, the countdown box breaks down a relatively hefty puzzle (1,008 pieces) into smaller, digestible portions.

Of all my holiday memories throughout the years, it’s the ones spent baking cookies that are the strongest. I remember making a huge mess with my cousins in my grandmother’s kitchen, blasting Mariah Carey’s Christmas album on loop.
