What is the release date for the Lego Advent Calendar 2025 and where can I buy it?
Expected release window
- LEGO has not officially confirmed a release date for the 2025 Advent Calendars. Based on past patterns, pre-orders open in late summer and stock arrives in stores by October. According to Brick Land, all six listed themes are expected on September 1, 2025.
- Irish buyers who want first access should watch LEGO.com IE, which typically lists pre-orders before third-party retailers.
Availability at Smyths Toys
- Smyths Toys is Ireland’s largest toy retailer and a reliable stockist for LEGO Advent Calendars. A Netmums report confirms Smyths carried the 2025 Star Wars calendar and was selling it for £23.99 at the time of publication, undercutting US pricing significantly.
- For Irish shoppers, Smyths operates both physical stores and a same-day click-and service across the country.
Ireland-specific retailers
- Beyond Smyths, Irish buyers can check LEGO Official Shop US (the IE domain mirrors similar stock) and independent toy shops like Banba Toys, which listed the Friends 2025 set at €25.00 in early promotions.
- Amazon UK and Amazon DE also ship to Ireland, though customs and delivery fees apply after €150.
Bottom line: hasn’t set an official date yet, but the consensus among tracking sites points to September 1, 2025. Irish families who pre-order on LEGO.com IE or Smyths in late summer will have the best chance at securing the theme they want.
The timing aligns with prior LEGO calendar releases, giving buyers a clear early window.
The early-bird advantage
Smyths sold the 2025 Star Wars calendar at £23.99 — nearly half the US list price. Irish buyers who wait until October risk paying full €44.99 or missing out on the most popular themes entirely.
What are the contents of the Lego Advent Calendar 2025?
General build count and pieces
- Every LEGO Advent Calendar contains 24 mini builds behind numbered doors. The piece counts vary by theme: the Star Wars calendar has 263 pieces (Netmums), while the Friends set packs 237 pieces (Brick Land).
- The Minecraft 2025 calendar leads the range with 300 pieces, making it the densest daily build experience.
Minifigures and characters
- Minifigure counts differ by theme: Harry Potter includes 8 minifigures, Minecraft includes 7, and the Star Wars set includes 5 along with 14 droids (Netmums).
- The Disney Frozen Advent Calendar (set 43273) features 5 Frozen characters, including Elsa and Anna in seasonal outfits (Brick Land).
Themed surprises
- Beyond minifigures, each calendar includes micro-builds that reflect the theme’s world. The Star Wars calendar features a Jawa in a Christmas jumper, a Scrap Battle Droid, R7-A7, Babu Frik’s workshop, and a Christmas tree (Netmums).
- The Friends set includes micro-doll characters and accessories tied to the Heartlake City universe.
Bottom line: The 2025 calendars deliver 24 days of themed builds with 4 to 8 minifigures each. Star leads on collectible droids, while Minecraft and Harry Potter offer the highest piece counts.
This variety means families can choose based on preferred piece density or character abundance.
What is the LEGO Flower Advent Calendar 2025?
Design and pieces
- No official LEGO Flower Advent Calendar has been announced by the company. The concept circulates among fan communities and on social media, but it remains unconfirmed.
- If released, a botanical advent calendar would likely draw from the LEGO Botanical Collection, which typically uses earthy tones, flower stem pieces, and no minifigures.
Price and availability
- LEGO has not listed a Flower Advent Calendar on its holiday page. Without an official set number or listing, no pricing or release timeline can be verified.
- A hypothetical Flower calendar would likely be priced similarly to the Friends set (around $44.99 US or €25–€35 in Ireland), given comparable piece counts.
Comparison to other themes
- Unlike other LEGO Advent Calendars that focus on characters and narrative builds, a flower-themed calendar would target botanical builders — an audience that LEGO has been cultivating through the Botanical Collection since 2021.
- For now, Irish buyers interested in a floral countdown should consider the Friends Advent Calendar, which includes natural elements and outdoor scenes.
Bottom line: The LEGO Flower Advent Calendar is not a confirmed product. Fans should treat it as a rumour until LEGO issues an official announcement, likely in mid-2025.
The catch
Botanical themes sell out fast — LEGO’s Roses and Orchid sets regularly hit backorder within weeks of restock. If a Flower Advent Calendar does materialise, early pre-ordering will be essential.
Without official confirmation, the Flower calendar remains a speculative topic for now.
What is the LEGO Advent Calendar 2025 Star Wars?
Confirmed or rumored set
- LEGO has not officially announced a Star Wars Advent Calendar for 2025, but the set number 75418 appears in multiple retailer and tracker databases (Brick Land). Given that LEGO has released a Star Wars Advent Calendar every year since 2011, its return is.
- The 2025 model is expected to include 263 pieces and 5 minifigures, following the format of previous years.
Expected mini-builds and characters
- Netmums reports that the 2025 Star Wars calendar includes 14 droids, 9 mini builds, and characters such as C-3PO, a Jawa in a Christmas jumper, a Scrap Battle Droid, and R7-A7.
- Mini builds include a Jawa vehicle, Babu Frik’s workshop, and a Christmas.
Price and pre-order info
- The US list price is $44.99, consistent with other themes (LEGO US). Smyths Toys in Ireland and the UK sold the set at £23.99, which to approximately €28 at the time of publication (Netmums).
- re-orders are expected to open on.com IE and Smyths around late August 2025.
Bottom line: line: The Star Wars Advent Calendar 2025 is all but certain based on historical patterns and retailer listings. Irish should expect a €28–€35 price point at Smyths, with pre-orders starting in late summer.
This set remains the most anticipated among collector-focused families.

- LEGO has not confirmed these four, but they appear in retailer databases with set numbers, pricing, and September 1, 2025 as the tentative release date.
