What Advent Calendar To Get For Kids Who Don’t Like Chocolate
87003 MARVEL COUNTDOWN CALENDAR FRONT BOX GLAM WEB
Some kids wake up on 1 December, see chocolate behind a tiny cardboard door, and look at you like you have served them a punishment. Not every child wants a daily hit of cocoa. Some hate the taste, some forget the chocolate entirely, and some just want something a bit more exciting than a brown square shaped like a snowman. That is where this No Chocolate Advent Calendar steps in and saves December.
Funko’s new Bitty POP Countdown Calendars land right in the sweet spot. They turn the lead up to Christmas into a toy filled treasure hunt instead of a sugar slog. Better yet, they give kids something they will actually keep playing with long after the tree has been dragged outside on Boxing Day.
Why a toy countdown wins every time
The secret to a great No Chocolate Advent Calendar is simple. Kids want surprise, not sugar. They want characters they already love, tiny things they can show off, and the thrill of opening a new door each morning. Funko taps straight into that magic with a mix of Bitty POP mini figures, keychains, pin cases and stackable display cubes.
Every door feels like a tiny Christmas morning. No melting. No mess. No arguments. No pretending the dog stole the chocolate when you definitely ate it yourself.
Marvel for the action obsessed
If your kid knows every superhero by name and insists on doing dramatic slow motion jumps off the couch, the Marvel Bitty POP calendar will hit the spot. Behind each door is a heroic surprise, perfect for school bags, desks or lining up in battle formation across the kitchen table. It is the sort of No Chocolate Advent Calendar that makes mornings fun without making breakfast a sugar explosion.
Disney Princesses for the dreamers
Some homes run on imagination. Tea parties. Sparkly outfits. Singing at full volume. For those kids, the Disney Princesses calendar is the one that keeps the magic rolling all month long. Tiny characters, bright colours and a little hit of fairytale charm every day. No chocolate required.
Stitch for the chaos gremlins
Every family has one. The whirlwind child who leaves a trail of glitter, crayons and pure noise. The Stitch themed calendar is made for them. It is cheeky, playful and perfectly timed with renewed interest in the character. If your kid loves Stitch, this calendar basically sells itself.
What is inside the box
Each calendar includes 24 surprises. Bitty POP mini vinyl figures, display cubes, keychains, pin holders, all small enough to collect but big enough to spark joy. It is the kind of countdown that makes kids jump out of bed instead of rolling over and pretending it is still too early.
Where to buy one
All three calendars are available now for $79.99 at EB Games, Popcultcha, Amazon and many other hobby/specialty retailers nationwide.. They are sturdy, well made and do not contain a single smear of chocolate. Perfect for chocolate haters, parents who are tired of sugar arguments, and kids who want a December filled with toys rather than treats.
If you are trying to pick what advent calendar to get for kids who do not like chocolate, this is your answer. There are no sugar highs, no sticky fingers, just a month of tiny surprises that make Christmas feel bigger.
