The 2022 LEGO Advent Calendar countdown season has begun!

November 30, 2022 By Jay Ong 13 Comments

Here’s a one-stop guide to all the 2022 LEGO Advent Calendar Countdowns! This year, I’ll be counting down the Star Wars (of course), Harry Potter, Guardians of the Galaxy and Friends calendars, so the same setup as last year!

  • 2022 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar
  • 2022 LEGO Friends Advent Calendar
  • 2022 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar
  • 2022 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar

LEGO.com has sold out of the City and Star Wars Advent Calendars, but Star Wars and City is still available on Amazon.com if you want to join in the fun!

If you’re new here or to this, I post daily updates on each window of Advent Calendars, and unlike some others who prepare their content in advance, or have revealed what’s in the Advent Calendars, I’m actually opening them live daily, as I enjoy the surprise of each day’s window (even though, most is spoiled on the packaging), and my reactions are all raw as we count down to Christmas!

I’ll be posting direct links to this post, and tomorrow, I’ll begin posting sequentially from 12pm AEDT, beginning with Harry Potter, Friends, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Star Wars.

Do note that I’m based in Melbourne, Australia (GMT +11) so we’re ahead of most of the world (except New Zealand) so to avoid spoilers, try to come back to this post after you’ve opened your window and built the daily model especially if you’re located in other time zones like North America, or Western Europe.

I also typically just have the one post, and will update them as we count down, to prevent it from cluttering the blog, and your emails because there’s also a TON of exciting announcements from LEGO in December! Hint hint!

If you’d like to relive the 2021 Advent Calendar Countdown, check out last years post below!

  • 2021 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar Countdown
  • 2021 LEGO Marvel Avengers Advent Calendar Countdown

    We have all 4. My son is opening City and SW, my daughter has Friends and HP, and my hub has Guardians. 🤣🤣🤣 Unfortunately, our HP advent days are messed up. In the 1st was actually the 23rd (not saying what the build is — no spoilers 🤫). Then we found the 2nd was switched with the 22nd. Weird.
    Oh — your Friends link goes to the HP advent. 😁

    As much as it has become a tradition to get the Star Wars calendar, as much has it been to turn to this blog to get a clue about what the models are of, since I’m not that well-versed in Star Wars lore. Looking forward to following, as usual!

    We have Harry Potter and City this year. As much as we love Star Wars, we thought the builds looked very similar to the last few years. We hope to add the City builds to our growing Holiday House collection.

    I’d totally forgot about Advent.

    Thanks for the reminder as my son & I love seeing what Lego lies behind the flap each day.

    Must try & find the box I keep the flaps in afterwards & give the deep sections to a local school for sorting things or gardening.

Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands down one of THE best sets of 2023 and a gleaming beacon of just how far the LEGO Friends theme has matured. 

When you see the LEGO Friends Botanical Garden, it quickly becomes apparent that LEGO have something special on their hands with a design that's simply beautiful.

Hit the link in bio to read my full review!

It's truly a mark of a mature theme, that LEGO could debut a tasteful design like this into LEGO Friends, but crafted in such a way that it will also have broad appeal to City builders, or even fans who want a stunning architectural masterpiece to display their minifigures or minidolls in.

With so many amazing designs and sets being produced by Billund, 41757 Botanical Garden deservedly takes it's place as one of the best LEGO sets of 2023 and I can heartily recommend this set to everyone, and I have a gut feeling that this will be one of the best-selling LEGO Friends set of the year.

LEGO have revealed a whole bunch of Marvel and DC LEGO have revealed a whole bunch of Marvel and DC Comics sets including the highly anticipated 76261 Spider-Man Final Battle featuring all 3 Spider-Man from No Way Home!

Got a chance to see a preliminary model of 76261 a few months ago, and while the minifigure lineup is impressive, the model is absolutely tiny.

Venomised Groot is super cute, and the Batwing is an absolute winner at this scale and price. 

Hit the link in bio to see more of these sets!

This is LEGO 40364 Icons of Play, a set celebratin This is LEGO 40364 Icons of Play, a set celebrating some of the most accomplished female football players.

It features minifigures of @samanthakerr20, @mrapinoe, @yuki_nagasato and @asisat_oshoala, and is set to be released on 6 June 2023! 

I read some extremely disgusting misogynistic comments on this set, from the usual terminally-online, incel-esque dudebros who probably need to get out a little.

Women's football is on the up and up, with exponential growth in game attendance, and TV viewership, and this is really smart timing on LEGO's part, releasing this just before the FIFA Women's World Cup starts.

Women's football has massive grassroots support, and is a hugely popular sport for young girls, the very builders of tomorrow that LEGO is continually trying to inspire.

LEGO is even a sponsor of the Australian national women's team @thematildas!

It's not even a bad set, and will integrate nicely into LEGO City, with clear references to the popular Football theme from the early 2000s.

Still, it's very disappointing (but not surprising) to see large LEGO pages continue to encourage and not take a stronger stance against sexism and misogyny. 

Do better with your influence and reach.
