How much should you pay per day for an advent calendar?
Our advice if you want to save the most? Try not to spend more than $2 per day on an advent calendar. The cheapest deals come out to less than $1 per day, but sometimes you’ll have to pay a little more for licensed products with popular characters (like Funko Pop Disney).
Note that in the final days before Dec. 25, you should expect to see price increases on advent calendars. So if you’re shopping late, you’ll have to expect to pay over $2, especially for licensed items. (Although, sometimes you can see discounts of up to 60% if you’re lucky, as shown above).
The best way to save is to shop when advent calendars go on sale, which we’ll go into next.
When do advent calendars go on sale?
You’ll often run into a pretty good advent calendar sale right at the beginning of August when new calendars come out. Retailers will take advantage of the early timing and entice shoppers with discounts to shop early.
Some advent calendars go on and off sale in the months leading to December, with savings up to 50%. We’ve seen this happen with top brands like Melissa & Doug as early as fall 2023, but this is not always guaranteed.
Prices will start to soar back up in December.
If you want the best deal, you should wait for advent calendar clearance sales. When retailers still have inventory left from the year before, they’ll put them for super cheap on clearance to make room for the newer versions to come out. That’s what we saw with the American Girl calendar listed above, for example. An advent calendar clearance sale can happen as early as January and last the rest of the year.

Do Advent Calendars Sell Out?
Yes. The more limited edition the advent calendar, the more likely it is to sell out. The calendars I’ve listed that contain exclusive collectibles are the types you should make sure to purchase early. Think along the lines of anything with a giant fandom, like Pokemon, Star Wars, and Funko Pop. Wine and beer calendars also tend to sell out quickly.
