Advent calendars come in all shapes and sizes; this year, there's a new one on Netflix. What's in it, and is it worth your time? We just received ours, so here's the details and what we think.
Hopefully you go in and come out hating me like Jacquemette did many years ago Zoella's Christmas Advent CalendarI came away pleasantly surprised. Is it expensive? Absolutely. Are there any cool things here? Absolutely.
First of all, opening the gift box reveals an interesting feature – it has the TUDUM sound, which is also heard when you start a Netflix Original title.

Once inside, there are 24 doors of varying sizes. What shows and movies were shown? The doors are divided into seven shows and movies. Let's count down for each show:
- Squid Game – Four doors
- Three statues (one of which has a stand)
- two magnets
- Stranger Things – Four doors
- postcard
- Two statues, one of which has a stand.
- Acrylic Stand
- Bridgerton – three doors
- A “gold-plated” spoon
- a bookmark

Final review: Is it worth watching? I think yes. If you're a Netflix fanatic and like most of these shows and movies, there's enough stocking fillers in this to make it worth watching. It's just weird to watch Rebel Moon It's included here, given that the film franchise isn't on the same level as others, but we're guessing it was designed months before the final outcome was known.
Oddly, this item is only available Available directly through YuMe Toys (it may eventually be available in other stores, too), and Netflix's own store (yes it is still going on) but it is not yet available. However, it can only be purchased in the United Kingdom and the United States, and costs $99.99 or £99.99.
This isn't the first time we've purchased a mystery bundle from Netflix. In January 2023, we purchased two bundles from the official Netflix shop, and honestly, I'm more impressed with what I got here than I was back then.
Editor's note: We paid for this gift box and have not interacted with the company behind it.
