LEGO Disney Princess 43298 Advent Calendar 2026, 24 Builds, 290 Pieces
Product description
Some Christmas countdowns are best enjoyed one surprise at a time, others are made for shared play. The LEGO Disney Princess Advent Calendar 2026 brings both together, with a new character or mini build to discover each day.
Inside are 24 buildable surprises, including Ariel, Cinderella, Moana and Mulan micro dolls, along with Gus, Mushu, Pua and Sebastian figures. The mix gives young Disney fans familiar characters as well as festive builds to bring into their own stories.
Once the doors have been opened, the calendar’s box becomes a game board, with a buildable spinner and play for up to eight people. That gives the set a second role beyond the daily countdown.

Getting the most from it
This calendar suits children aged five and up who enjoy building, Disney Princess characters and seasonal play. The daily discoveries make it a natural choice for a Christmas countdown, while the game board offers a way to keep playing together after the last surprise has been opened. If the priority is a gift for one sitting, a single build has a different pace, this set is designed to spread the fun across Advent and then bring the family into the game.
The character line-up covers four Disney Princess micro dolls and four animal figures, so children can recreate favourite scenes or invent new ones. Other builds include a gingerbread castle, a Christmas tree, a toy train, a campfire with marshmallow, a fireplace with a wreath, a spinning dance floor, a stage and musical accessories. These small themed pieces give play a range of starting points, from festive scenes to performances and make-believe adventures.
How to use it
Open one door each day and build the character or mini model inside. The set requires assembly, making each reveal an activity rather than just an item to unwrap. Children can then combine the builds in imaginative play, use the figures to act out familiar stories, or keep the festive pieces together as a seasonal display.
For the board game, use the calendar box as the playing surface and build the included spinner. The game is designed for up to eight players, so it can turn the countdown into a shared activity with family or friends. Small parts are present, the set is not suitable for children under three years old.
Buying verdict
The appeal here is the combination of a daily reveal, recognisable Disney characters and a game that extends the set’s use beyond Advent. It is a fitting Christmas countdown gift for a young Disney fan who enjoys hands-on building, and the mix of figures and festive mini builds gives children plenty of prompts for imaginative play. For families looking to make the countdown a shared ritual, the board-game format adds a practical reason to bring everyone together.
