Advent Calendars for Kids – Holiday 2021

September 25, 2021 · In: Gift Guides, Lifestyle

Last week I published a post about 10 advent calendars for adults that you can find this year. Today I am sharing some of my favorite holiday advent calendars for kids!

Obviously, it is more traditional for a child to get an advent calendar, but for this post, I wanted to find some that weren’t just chocolate or LEGO. Let’s find something more unique!

1. Disney Minnie Mouse Advent Calendar

This advent calendar is so unique and it is exclusive to Amazon! It comes with a Minnie Mouse fashion doll, and each day you open a new clothing piece or accessory for Minnie to style. So fun for the Disney-loving girly girl!

2. Thomas & Friends Minis Advent Calendar

I can’t tell if Thomas is making a comeback or if I just have a 3-year-old nephew (haha). But this fun advent calendar has kids open a new mini train engine each day! The fun part is that some of the engines are even holiday-themed.

3. Playmobil Christmas Manger Advent Calendar

Playmobil typically offers a play nativity manger scene – but this one on their website is a similar idea in an advent format. Playmobil also offers other themed advent calendars like horse and farm sets.

4. Disney Pixar Cars Mini Racers Advent Calendar Set

This is such a fun set for kiddos who are a fan of the Cars franchise. Each day you’ll unbox different cars, accessories, and pieces of track to create your own mini Christmastime Radiator Springs!

5. Rubber Duck Advent Calendar

This is such a cute little set for kids who love rubber ducks! Each day they open a new one, and some ducks are even holiday-themed.

6. Disney Princess Storybook Collection

My nephew got one of these a few years ago in a Disney Classics version. This is a great one for kids who love books or are starting to read.

7. Matchbox Advent Calendar

Another great one for car lovers! Get a series of classic Matchbox cars along with some accessories each day leading up to Christmas.

8. Polly Pocket Advent Calendar

Have you heard that Polly Pocket is making a comeback? Just be aware before purchasing this – these are back to the ’80s-’90s style of Polly Pockets, meaning they are a choking hazard! So be mindful of the age group you purchase for.

9. 12 Days of DIY Ornaments

I would have loved this as a kid! For the kid who loves art, loves to craft, do DIYs, etc. – this is for them. It comes with 12 porcelain ornaments and six markers to decorate them.

10. Barbie Color Reveal Advent Calendar

Have y’all seen these color reveal Barbie dolls that have come out the past few years? They are so neat! You put it in water to reveal its skin tone, eye color, and hair color. Plus, this advent set comes with tons of fun clothes and accessories for the doll.

I hope you all enjoyed these 10 advent calendars for kids! If you’d like more inspiration, check out these posts from years past. Let me know down below if one of these would be perfect for the kiddos in your life.

Cheers!

(blog post & YouTube video coming soon)

‼️TLDR: Overall it was as chaotic as I expected so I was neither impressed nor disappointed. However I’m unsure how things will suddenly be running smoothly at the opening that’s just 2 weeks away.

✨I’ll start with our highlight which was mainly Super Nintendo World! I was a big Nintendo kid so this was very anticipated for me. While the rides were meh the land is extremely immersive. I do wish we had more time to explore the games you can play with the power up bands! 

🍔As for food we didn’t eat a ton but had lunch at Oak & Star Tavern (BBQ) which was much better than I expected! Not the best theme park food I’ve ever had but definitely better than anything I’ve had at Universal in the past. We also got a frozen melon apple drink in Nintendo that was perfect for a hot day!

🐉Isle of Berk was cool overall but for such a niche IP I wasn’t really interested. The one ride we rode in the land - Hiccup’s Wing Gliders - ended up being our favorite!

🧟‍♂️Dark Universe was a tad underwhelming. I was really looking forward to it but it didn’t really do it for me. At night it was cool but the ride wasn’t as good as I was expecting. I’ve heard quotes that this is the “most technologically advanced ride in the world” and that’s simply not true. However the ride wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!

🇫🇷Magical Paris was neat despite me not being a Harry Potter fan. It really felt like Paris! However the lack of attractions there is a huge problem. 

🎢Despite it being technical rehearsals to me does not justify the amount of rides that were either completely shut down or broke at some point. Only 2 attractions in the entire park had zero issues all day. We rode 4 attractions since everything else was closed (2 would’ve caused motion sickness). I don’t see how these will magically be working in 2 weeks. The closures caused long wait time and chaos in every aspect. At opening they had no system for filtering people into queues in a reasonable manner. Something Disney figured out decades ago. 

Glad we went and experienced something new! #epicuniverse

Spring has sprung🌸 I snagged this iconic tweed Spring has sprung🌸

I snagged this iconic tweed jacket from @lillypulitzer most recent sale and I’m obsessed - I got the matching dress and can’t wait to wear it as a set💚 

I’m also loving this belt from @jmclaughlin 🤍 As someone who struggles to find belts curated to my style when I saw this I fell in love. I finally snagged it in Newport Beach a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed! It truly elevates every look👏🏼
