Nostalgic QSR Advent Calendars

The 2025 BK Advent Calendar Inspires Reminising

This holiday season, Burger King is giving fans the chance to pick up the second-edition BK Advent Calendar, an all-new limited-edition filled with a dozen nostalgic surprises. Styled to look like a classic package wrapped in simple brown paper and string, the advent calendar provides opportunities for daily reminiscing on past holiday moments.

“After the incredible response to our first-ever Advent Calendar last year, which sold out in less than five minutes, we knew we had to bring it back again this year with 12 new and exciting gifts designed to bring friends and families together," said Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King US&C.

The BK Advent Calendar will be available for $19.54, referencing the founding year of Burger King.
