Friends Advent Calendar 2020

The Friends Advent Calendar 2020 packs 24 small winter builds behind individual numbered doors, leading up to four minifigures and a range of festive props and mini-scenes. At 236 pieces spread across so many separate builds, each day delivers a small, quick model rather than one continuous project. The set focuses on variety and daily surprise rather than a single large structure.

Description

Twenty-four small builds

Instead of one model, the calendar is split into 24 individually wrapped or boxed builds, ranging from small props and accessories to short festive scenes and, eventually, the four minifigures themselves. Each door reveals a self-contained piece rather than a step in a larger sequence, so the pieces behind door three have no direct connection to door twelve. This structure suits a slower pace of building spread across December rather than a single sitting, with each day's result standing on its own.

A high ratio of unique parts

152 unique parts across 236 total pieces is an unusually high ratio, reflecting how many small, distinct builds the calendar packs in rather than one repeated structure. Individual daily builds tend to use only a handful of pieces each, so the emphasis is on variety of shape and colour rather than construction complexity on any single day. This makes the calendar accessible for younger builders working through it a little at a time, even though the combined parts list looks substantial.

A winter colour palette

White and light bluish grey form a snowy base across many of the daily builds, while red and green carry the festive accents typical of a Christmas-season set, appearing in props, decorations and clothing-style pieces throughout. Because the calendar covers such a wide range of small objects, many of its parts are useful well beyond December for general Friends-style scenes, decorations or accessories. The full parts list on this page covers all 152 unique elements across the calendar's 24 builds.

Who it suits

This calendar suits families looking for a daily countdown activity through December rather than a single big project, with builds short enough for most children to complete without help each day. The four minifigures and numerous small props also work well combined with other Friends sets once December is over, extending their use beyond the calendar itself. Its mix of quick builds and festive theming makes it a practical alternative to a traditional chocolate advent calendar.
