December is right around the corner, which means that now is time to think about how you’re going to distract yourself in the days leading up to the holidays. There are more than enough games and movies out there to stay entertained. But there’s another way to keep the holiday spirit kicking: grab one or more of the best nerdy Advent calendars.
Regardless of your preferred flavor of fandom, there’s probably an Advent calendar that’s sure to delight (or, at the very least, distract) you for 25 days straight. We’ve collected the most notable nerdy examples below. For instance, the Lego Star Wars Advent calendar features 25 unique models and minifigs to uncover, including an Emperor Palpatine in an ugly sweater. But, if you’d prefer fewer holiday-themed trinkets, the Funko Pop! Pokémon Advent calendar features 25 itty-bitty pocket monsters to keep on your curio shelf.
