The holiday season may still be on the horizon, but the galaxy far, far away is already preparing for the festivities. LEGO has officially pulled back the curtain on one of the most anticipated annual releases for Star Wars fans: the LEGO 75456 Star Wars Advent Calendar 2026. This year, the focus shifts heavily toward the adventures of The Mandalorian, offering a collection of builds and minifigures that celebrate the iconic Disney+ series in true holiday fashion.
What’s Inside the LEGO 75456 Star Wars Advent Calendar 2026?
For many fans, the primary draw of any LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar is the exclusive minifigure selection, and the 2026 lineup does not disappoint. This year, the set includes several key characters from The Mandalorian, many featuring unique seasonal prints.
The highlight of the set is undoubtedly the “ugly Christmas sweater” duo: Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) and Grogu. In a charming twist, the two feature complementary holiday sweaters, Grogu’s sweater features a tiny image of Mando, while Mando’s sweater sports a festive depiction of Grogu. These exclusive prints are a tradition for the Star Wars advent line and remain a top priority for collectors.
Joining the holiday duo are other notable characters, including a new version of Moff Gideon, a Carson Teva minifigure, a Jawa, and a Pit Droid in festive colors. Perhaps most exciting for long-time fans is the inclusion of IG-11, which appears to feature a brand-new head mold, providing more detail than previous iterations of the assassin-turned-nanny droid.
Festive Mini-Builds and Vehicles
Beyond the minifigures, the LEGO 75456 Star Wars Advent Calendar 2026 contains 293 pieces used to create various micro-scale vehicles and accessories. This year’s vehicle lineup includes miniature versions of iconic ships seen throughout the Mando-verse:
- The Razor Crest: A tiny but recognizable version of Din Djarin’s original ship.
- Mando’s N-1 Starfighter: The sleek Naboo starfighter modified for the bounty hunter.
- Outland TIE Fighter: Complete with its signature folding wings for landing.
- Imperial Light Cruiser: Moff Gideon’s formidable command ship.
- A festive X-Wing: Rendered in holiday-inspired colors to keep with the seasonal theme.
In addition to the starships, the set features micro-builds of various creatures from the series, including a Blurrg, a Mudhorn, a Bantha, and a Dewback. These tiny brick-built creatures allow fans to recreate scenes from across the different planets visited in the show. Small scenery builds such as a weapons rack, a Mandalorian gauntlet, and Grogu’s hoverpram add to the playability and display value.
Release Date and Pricing
Fans won’t have to wait until December to get their hands on this set. The LEGO 75456 Star Wars Advent Calendar 2026 is scheduled for release on September 1, 2026. This early launch allows fans to secure their calendars well before the December countdown begins.
The set is priced at $44.99 in the United States, £29.99 in the UK, and €34.99 across Europe. Given the popularity of The Mandalorian and the exclusive nature of the holiday-themed minifigures, this set is expected to be a hot item for fans of all ages.
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars have become a staple of the holiday season, but the 2026 edition stands out for its cohesive theme. By leaning into the world of The Mandalorian, LEGO has provided a set that feels like a complete story rather than a random assortment of Star Wars eras. Whether you are looking to expand your minifigure collection or simply want a daily dose of Star Wars magic in December, the 75456 set is a perfect addition to any collection.
