Twenty-four doors, one per December morning, and the single most hunted seasonal specimen in the registry. This page keeps a running log of every official Schylling countdown calendar — what shipped, what it cost, where it surfaced — and separates what is confirmed from what is still rumor. Sources are cited inline; where we could not verify something, it says so.
What we know so far Get the restock alertOnly Schylling-made calendars are logged. "Confirmed" means we found the claim on a brand or retailer page; "unconfirmed" means we could not, and you should treat it as rumor. Resale prices are noted for context, never as a recommendation.

Good Housekeeping UK · Amazon (model/UPC) · Castle Toys |
| — | "Glow Advent Calendar" | — | Unconfirmed | Collector threads and at least one buying guide refer to a glow-in-the-dark advent, and our registry lists it as SS-001 on that basis. We could not find a Schylling or major-retailer listing for a distinct glow calendar. Until one surfaces, treat it as a rumor or a mislabeled standard calendar. If you own one, tell us. |
Channels are listed by how they have behaved for the advent specifically, which is harsher than the general picture on the restock guide. Seasonal runs ship once; there is rarely a second truck.
The product page is live and is the ground truth for the spec sheet, but the shop paused new orders in September citing "exceptionally high" demand. It states availability as November–December.
Tip: bookmark the product page; it is the only place a restock is guaranteed to be at MSRP. Source
The listing our weekly survey tracks. It has shown a live offer at retail price in recent surveys, but marketplace sellers on the same page were asking $48.97 as early as July.
Tip: only buy the "Sold and shipped by Walmart" offer. See the specimen dossier for the latest survey line.
Amazon converted the official listing to "Request Invite." You apply, and if selected you get 72 hours to buy at retail through a private link. Requests stay eligible for 12 months.
Tip: ignore the crossed-out list price; it is a third-party markup. Source
Every year the advent has been easiest to find at independents who ordered in spring. In 2024 and 2025 they were the last places with stock, and they rarely get raided by resellers.
Tip: call and ask whether their Schylling holiday order has landed. Many will hold one at the counter.
Already at 1.5–6× MSRP in September. The advent is the seasonal specimen most often relisted, and a sealed box hides everything the five-point check would catch.
Tip: resale is only defensible in late December, and only after retail is genuinely gone.
Three seasons of data now, and the shape repeats. Specialty and international retailers open pre-orders in July, months before Schylling's own November window. Big-box listings go live in late summer, and the first wave sells through in days. By October, the standard calendar is functionally a resale item, and December is spent watching for a second wave that has never reliably come.
What's different in 2026 is scale. The first wave cleared over the summer instead of the fall, Schylling paused direct orders, and Amazon gated the listing. Whether a November wave appears at big-box retail, as the product page implies, is the open question — and it is unconfirmed until it happens.
The Advent Calendar dossier is re-surveyed every Monday, and this page's release log is updated whenever a brand or retailer page changes. Anything with a date on it will carry a source you can click. If you see stock at retail, buy first and forward the receipt second; the Dispatch is how everyone else finds out.
One email a week: which specimens restocked, where they showed up, what got scalped, and what's newly graded. Advent sightings jump the queue.
