The City Advent Calendar series is the one that I purchase for my own use every year. I am now sharing it with my grandson who is having a lot of fun learning how to put together Legos (though he calls Duplos Big Legos and has been playing with those for several years.)
This is a great set with lots of fun builds. There are six minifigures and lots more. There is a train, a Christmas tree, an ice sculptor, a snowboarder, a Grandma, a skier, a “remote control” helicopter, a fireplace and seating and Santa is pushing a snow blower (though he also has a modern looking sleigh at his disposal, too.
I put together Christmas dioramas using both the Winter special scenes, City sets and City Advent calendars each year. This will be a really fun addition to the scenes that I have put together.
Be sure not to throw away the box as it is part of the fun. This year the box opens up to a winter scene with snow on the ground and lights on the trees and houses. The fold-out has more snow fun with a picture of a train track (for posing the little train that comes in the set.

Build and play all the way to Christmas
We always countdown to Christmas with a Lego advent set, and this year we went with the City theme. Pop the box open on December 1st and every day you will get to open a door that reveals a "mini-build" for an item to populate the holiday scene. Every year the figures vary, so it's a fun tradition that also contributes to filling out your Lego collection. Even if you aren't interested in the religious aspect of Advent, the countdown-to-Santa is still fun for the little ones.As usual, Lego has released three different advent calendars--this City theme, a Star Wars version, and a Friends ("girly") one. If you are careful opening the daily slots, you can re-pack the calendar and use it again and again; sometimes we actually pull out a couple of older calendars and build a little “Advent Town” instead of using just one set. Don't tear up the box to get it open: the top flap just needs to be released and it serves as the background for the builds.I always buy mine early in the fall: Lego makes a certain number of each theme and when they're sold out, that's it!
