When I chatted with a panel of LEGO fans last year, word on the street was that the brand’s “Friends” line was especially popular with kids, thanks to its variety of lifestyle scenes — from soccer games to summer camp — and posable figurines. The latest addition to the “Friends” universe is this Christmas Holiday Countdown advent calendar, which contains 24 super-collectible surprises; the set is packed with tons of holiday-ready accoutrements such as snowmen, pine trees, and choo-choo trains plus a menagerie of adorable animals to create a festive pet playground. For a limited time, the advent calendar has been marked down 28 percent on Amazon. It’s currently just $25, so snag one now to keep the fun going all December long.
