Pokémon advent calendar 2026: TCG, Kinder, Funko and UK prices
Updated 20 October 2026. If you are looking for the Pokémon advent calendar 2026 release date, there isn't one for the card calendar: as of 20 October 2026, no Pokémon TCG Holiday Calendar has been announced for this year. From 2022 to 2025 it was on shelves every year by late August or early September. What 2026 does have are three Pokémon calendars without cards: the Funko Bitty Pop! Pokémon with ten mini figures (£24.95 at Magic Madhouse), the Kinder Pokémon chocolate calendar (£12.00 at Sainsbury's when we checked on 11 October) and a Jazwares calendar with 19 battle figures.

Nobody official has said the card calendar is cancelled. But the usual window has closed, so here is what is known — and what each 2026 calendar contains and costs.
Pokémon TCG Holiday Calendar 2026: what we know
The Pokémon TCG product gallery on pokemon.com/uk, read on 20 October 2026, shows 30th Celebration and Mega Evolution products but no 2026 Holiday Calendar; the French gallery, read the same day, has none either. The German fan site PokéZentrum wrote on 26 September 2026 that no new edition had been officially announced for 2026, and neither MonsterDealz (2 October) nor Pokéled (updated 4 October) reports an announcement.
| Edition | On sale from | Contents according to pokemon.com |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 1 September 2022 | the first Holiday Calendar |
| 2023 | 1 September 2023 | 8 foil cards with a festive stamp, 5 booster packs, 7 Fun Packs, 2 coins, 2 sticker sheets, Pikachu and Glaceon keychain |
| 2024 | 23 August 2024 | as in 2023, but with a Chien-Pao keychain |
| 2025 | 22 August 2025 | 8 foil cards, 6 booster packs, 7 Fun Packs, 2 coins, 2 sticker sheets |
| 2026 | — | not announced |
Since 2023 every edition has also included a code card for Pokémon TCG Live. Booster packs only ever came in this card calendar: none of the 2026 calendars has any.
Older editions in UK shops
Magic Madhouse lists the 2025 Holiday Calendar at £99.95 (out of stock on 20 October 2026) and the 2022, 2023 and 2024 editions at £99.95 to £149.95. To tell the editions apart, count the booster packs: six in 2025, five in 2023 and 2024, which also came with a keychain.
Unconfirmed
PokéZentrum (26 September 2026) suspects the calendar was skipped in favour of the 30th anniversary set, and calls that only a guess. The Pokémon Company has given no explanation.

Kinder Pokémon Holiday Calendar. This is a chocolate calendar. Sainsbury's listed it at £12.00 (checked 11 October 2026) and describes 24 individually wrapped Kinder treats — hollow figures, Mini Friends, Mini Eggs, Choco Balls and Kinder & Love Mini — plus special stickers. The box comes in four designs, Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle, and you receive one of the four; it opens like a book, and the characters on the pack can be removed. The German listing at Rossmann counts eight stickers and 198 g. Kinder's own Pokémon figures come in eggs instead: see Kinder Surprise Maxi Pokémon 2026.
Jazwares. Müller in Germany sells it for €49.99: 24 doors, 19 battle figures with a festive finish and 5 accessories, manufacturer code PKW5226. MonsterDealz (2 October) gives the same split, while alternate.de counts 20 figures and 4 accessories. To spot the 2026 edition on a shelf, look for 19 figures on the box; the earlier standard editions had 16.
