Description

Winter colours instead of pastels

White, red, reddish brown and black make up the palette, creating a wintery, festive mood rather than the pastel tones usually associated with the Friends theme, such as pink or light blue. That seasonal colour choice is a defining feature of Advent calendar sets across the LEGO range generally and sets this model clearly apart from the rest of that year's Friends range, which leans brighter and softer overall.

202 parts, an unusually high variety

With 202 unique parts out of only 500 pieces total, the ratio of different elements is unusually high, typical of a set made up of many small, distinct objects rather than one repeating build pattern like a building or vehicle would use. The full parts list on this page shows exactly which shapes and colours are included, handy for anyone after wintery decorative pieces for their own projects or rebuilding one specific daily box without owning the whole set.

24 doors, 24 small builds

Rather than one single model, the calendar is made up of 24 small build sections opened one at a time through December, each with its own little surprise behind it. That produces many short building sequences instead of one long continuous project, which suits anyone who enjoys finishing a small, self-contained build each day rather than spending several hours at once on a large set. Spread across 500 pieces in total, each daily section stays correspondingly compact and quick to finish, fitting easily into a busy December routine.

No minifigures, plenty of detail

Unlike most other Friends sets, this Advent calendar doesn't include full minifigures, but it does pack in plenty of small objects such as furniture, accessories and winter decorations in large numbers. That makes it a good addition to an existing Friends collection, particularly for anyone who enjoys small details and seasonal scenes, or wants extra small pieces for their own room and street builds.
