Burger King’s viral holiday advent calendar is back: How to buy the internet’s mini obsession
Burger King is launching its 2026 holiday advent calendar. How to buy the limited-edition, one-of-a-kind 2026 BK Advent Calendar.
TL;DR: Burger King is launching its 2026 holiday advent calendar. Sold exclusively on BKAdventCalendar.com, 110 calendars will be available daily from Nov. 16-20, while supplies last.
Burger King announced that its limited-edition holiday advent calendar is returning for its third consecutive run. Unlike standard chocolate-filled boxes, the 2026 BK Advent Calendar lets buyers build a fully functional miniature Burger King restaurant over 12 days.
The box retails for $19.54 (a nod to the year the chain was founded in 1954). The catch? It is incredibly tough to actually get your hands on this viral product. Only 110 units will drop each day at 12 p.m. ET from Nov. 16-20, exclusively via BKAdventCalendar.com while supplies last.
The last two calendars sold out in under five minutes, so fans are encouraged to mark their calendars before this year's drop is gone for good. In fact, you can text “ADVENT” to 251-251 to get a reminder when the first drop goes live.
Behind each of the calendar's 12 doors is a piece of the Burger King experience, just mini. From fan-favorite menu items like the Whopper to restaurant details like the King's Booth and a soda fountain, the calendar packs some of the brand's most recognizable elements into an extremely festive package.
And on Day 12, the pieces combine to form a complete miniature storefront, accompanied by a $5 BK digital coupon code for Royal Perks members.
"We know Guests will be excited that for the third year in a row, the Advent Calendar is back, and it's the best one ever," said Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King US&C. "These limited-edition Advent Calendars sell out fast, and we know our Guests are always looking for more holiday fun from BK. So this year, fans can build their very own BK restaurant, complete with a mini-Whopper, nuggets, and other items that make BK feel like BK. It's our one-of-a-kind way to celebrate the season, and we can't wait for families to bring a little BK home for the holidays!"
