What is a Pokémon advent calendar?

Pikachu and friends are all here in the 2023 Pokémon holiday calendars. These fun, happiness-encouraging Christmas countdown calendars offer 24 surprises to open ahead of the big day. Advent calendars make the entire month of December filled with joy and anticipation—especially when they're Poke-themed!

Some of this year's calendar options are based around the popular trade-worthy collector's cards. Others feature tiny doors to push through, revealing adorable characters like Pikachu and Charmander in tiny two-inch toy models. Gotta collect 'em all!

What we love about the 2023 Pokémon advent calendar

We love that 2023 is brimming with options. The trading cards are ideal for bigger kids who may already have old-school photo albums dedicated to collecting their most precious cards. The calendar options with little figurines are best-suited for kids around five to eight years old who love active, imaginative play.

There's even a fun keychain option for older kids and teens.

The best Pokemon Christmas calendars we've seen yet:

• The bestselling foil card advent calendar
• A mini figures advent calendar
• An adorable keychain-themed Pokeverse calendar that's best for older kids

We love that each option is filled with portable, pocket-sized treasures they'll be eager to play with and show to their friends. Play at home, take the prizes to school to show friends or bring them to Grandma's house. The choice is theirs.
