LEGO Friends 2026 Advent Calendar (LEGO 42698)

About this set

This is LEGO Friends 42698, an Advent calendar set with 211 pieces and a 2/5 difficulty rating, built around a Christmas and winter scene. The daily builds include a snowman, Christmas tree, carousel, igloo, sleigh with a white horse, skating rink, gift boxes, gingerbread house and candy tree, and the palette spans white, red, green, blue, brown, purple, pink and yellow, so the finished pieces look lively together with Friends characters. My suggestion is to follow the calendar order day by day: start with the simpler builds like the snowman, tree and gift boxes, then move to the carousel, igloo, rink and sleigh, saving the candy tree and gingerbread house as a finale. With this part count each window is a quick clutch-and-go build, which suits younger builders, Friends fans and families doing one window a day together. Once complete, group the small models by color or theme so the winter layout can be rearranged easily.
