Friends Advent Calendar 2016

The 2016 LEGO® Friends Advent Calendar counts down to Christmas with 24 doors, each revealing a small wintery scene from everyday life in Heartlake City. At 234 pieces with two minifigures, it's more compact than many other advent calendars, but still gives every day its own small build. Rather than vehicles or action, the focus here sits firmly on everyday moments.

Description

Twenty-four scenes, not one model

Rather than one connected set, this calendar is split into 24 small builds opened one at a time. Behind the doors are typical Friends touches — furniture, gifts, small animals and wintery accessories — that gradually combine into several mini scenes by the end. That structure turns the calendar into a daily December ritual, spreading the building across several weeks instead of finishing it all in one afternoon. That keeps the surprises feeling genuinely different from one day to the next.

Two minifigures for the festive season

With two minifigures, this calendar is on the quieter side compared with some other advent calendars, which suits the everyday, low-key tone Friends sets are known for. The figures tend to appear closer to the end of the 24 doors and then slot into the small scenes built earlier. The result is a picture that comes together gradually rather than being complete from day one, and that slow build-up is part of the appeal for many children.

A festive colour scheme

The palette leans into winter and Christmas: white forms the base, warmed up with orange and a striking medium azure that together create a friendly, festive mix. Black adds contrast for smaller details. With 133 unique elements, the calendar offers a surprisingly wide variety of parts for its compact overall size, all listed in full on the parts list on this page. That combination gives the set a noticeably more festive feel than many other Friends sets.

Who the calendar suits

The 2016 Friends Advent Calendar suits anyone who wants to spend December on small, daily building tasks rather than tackling one large set in one go. At 234 pieces, the workload per day stays light, which makes it accessible for younger children too. For collectors, it's also a chance to pick up small wintery Friends pieces that don't appear in any other set. It also makes a nice small Advent gift for the whole family to share.
