Which Kinder advent calendar has a Kinder Surprise egg?
Two in the UK range. The House (234g) holds one Kinder Surprise egg, and the Chalet (184g) holds one Kinder Surprise that Kinder describes as "containing an iconic festive toy". Kinder does not say which toy it is.
Kinder's own Christmas toys for 2026 are 12 bauble figures with codes VS302–VS313. All twelve are in the Kinder Surprise Christmas 2026 checklist, and what is known about the series is in Kinder Surprise Christmas 2026 toys. Whether the calendar eggs carry these baubles is not confirmed. That article also covers the German Kinder Überraschung & Friends (370g, 8 eggs).

Santa's video messages behind the QR code
The QR code on a Kinder advent calendar leads to Portable North Pole (PNP), where you personalise video messages from Santa. Kinder's 2026 schedule: the first video from 1 November, the next ones on 5 and 12 December, the last from 19 December, and on 24 December a phone call from Santa. Kinder's PNP page shows the Mini Chocolate, House and Chalet calendars.
The Kinder Pokémon calendar
The Kinder Pokémon Holiday Calendar is a chocolate calendar: 198g of Kinder treats with Pokémon stickers, and no trading cards. It comes in four box designs, Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle. What is behind each door, and why 2026 has no Pokémon card calendar, is in Pokémon advent calendar 2026.
If you would rather count down with figures than chocolate, there are five LEGO advent calendars for 2026 and the Funko advent calendars 2026. Every Kinder toy series of the year is in Kinder Surprise and Kinder Joy toys 2026, the full catalogue in the Kinder section.
Not confirmed
The German collector site eierlei.de reported on 12 October 2026 that the Austrian Kinder Surprise advent calendar contains the "Christmas 2026" set. Its source is an eBay auction and it gives no codes. We had found no second source by 18 October 2026, and we have seen no report on what the eggs in the UK calendars contain.
