Burger King’s $19.54 advent calendar returns, only 550 for sale

Burger King will sell just 110 calendars a day from Nov. 16 to 20, and this year’s 12 doors hide minis that snap together into a tiny BK restaurant.

Burger King’s advent calendar is back for a third year, and the odds are rough. The chain will sell 110 calendars a day for five days, Nov. 16 to 20, Burger King announced Thursday. That’s 550 for the whole country.

Each one costs $19.54, a nod to the year Burger King was founded. They’re sold only at BKAdventCalendar.com, with each day’s batch going live at noon ET (9 a.m. PT), while supplies last.

Burger King said its last two calendars sold out in under five minutes. Attractions Magazine did the math on this year’s total and called it one of the toughest fast-food holiday collectibles to get.

“These limited-edition Advent Calendars sell out fast,” said Joel Yashinsky, Burger King’s chief marketing officer for the U.S. and Canada. We believe him.

What’s inside the 2026 Burger King advent calendar?

Minis. Behind each of the 12 doors is a tiny piece of a Burger King restaurant, and by the end, the pieces form a complete mini BK, the company said. Here’s what the release lists, with sizes:

• Whopper and box: 1.5 by 1.5 inches

• Fries and tray: 1 by 0.75 inches

• Nuggets and sauce: 1.5 by 1 inch

• Ice cream cone: 1 by 2 inches

• King’s Booth: 4.25 by 2.125 inches

• Kitchen prep station: 3 by 1.5 inches

• Soda fountain: 2 by 2.75 inches

• Team member and guest figures: 3.5 by 1.5 inches each

• Reindeer: 3 by 2.25 inches

• Holiday tree: 2.35 by 4 inches

• Final door: a QR code for a $5 BK digital coupon

That 1.5-inch Whopper won’t fill you up, but it also won’t drip on your sweater.

The coupon only works for registered, logged-in Royal Perks members in the BK app. It can’t be combined with other offers and isn’t valid on delivery. Use it, and the calendar works out to $14.54.

Burger King said you can display the finished restaurant on its own or add it to a holiday village. Families, note the fine print: it has small parts and isn’t meant for kids under 3.

How do you buy the Burger King advent calendar?

Here’s what Burger King’s terms and the sale site say:

• When: Monday, Nov. 16, through Friday, Nov. 20, at noon ET / 9 a.m. PT each day.

• Where: BKAdventCalendar.com only. It’s not sold in restaurants.

• Limit: One per order, household, address, name and email. Burger King says it will delete duplicate orders.

• Shipping: Free standard shipping to the 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C. No Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories or P.O. boxes.

• Delivery: Calendars ship the week of Nov. 30.

• Returns: None. All sales are final.

The sale site says you can text “ADVENT” to 251-251 for a reminder when the first drop goes live.

One heads-up. The fine print in Burger King’s release lists the time as “9a EST / 12 PST,” which looks flipped. The body of the release and the sale site both say noon ET, so set your alarm for that and check the site before Monday.

Is the Burger King advent calendar sold outside the U.S.?

Not that Burger King has announced. The release and terms cover only U.S. sales and U.S. shipping, and nothing in them mentions a version for other countries.

What was in past Burger King advent calendars?

This is year three, and the price has never budged.

• 2024: Burger King’s first advent calendar cost $19.54 and held 12 surprises inspired by past menu items, ad campaigns and BK history. Sales opened Nov. 22, and Burger King paired it with 31 days of app deals for Royal Perks members in December.

• 2025: Also $19.54, with 12 drawers that included a JD the Dog plushie, an inflatable chair, Cini Mini candles, a Stout King chia seed sprouter, cookie cutters, a fanny pack and a mini Burger King board game. Sales opened Nov. 21.

Burger King valued the contents of both earlier calendars at more than $100. This year’s release doesn’t list a retail value for the minis.

The other big change is the drop schedule. The past two calendars went on sale on a single day. This year’s comes out in five smaller daily batches, so missing Monday doesn’t mean you’re out.
