Appealing specifically to collectors, the advent calendar inspired by [The Beatles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-beatles-collection) includes high-quality collectibles behind its doors, rather than traditional chocolates or sweets. Rather than being themed for Christmas, the countdowns have a lifetime appeal and have the potential to be kept for storing the items inside year-round. For the holiday season, Eaglemoss is also unveiling other licensed calendars for Doctor Who and Star Trek, each of which appeals to a different fandom. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Licensed Collectible Advent Calendars:** Companies can create advent calendars for various hobbies and interests beyond traditional chocolate and sweets. - **Year-round Collectible Storage:** Companies can create products that offer additional value beyond a one-time use and can serve as storage for items related to a specific hobby or interest. - **Fandom-based Advent Calendars:** Companies can tap into various fandoms and create advent calendars that appeal to fans. ### Where This Applies - **Collectibles:** Companies in the collectibles industry can expand into the advent calendar market. - **Holiday Decor and Gift:** Companies in the holiday decor and gift industry can create unique and personalized advent calendars for their customers. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Companies in the entertainment merchandise industry can create advent calendars that feature officially licensed products from popular franchises. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cubic Sci-Fi Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-borg-cube-advent-calendar.md) - [Iconic Spy Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-bond-2024-advent.md) - [Cozy Comedy Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gilmore-girls-advent-calendar.md) - [Collectible Figurine Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-pop-advent-calendar.md) - [Bookish Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advent-calendar-for-book-lovers.md) - [Opulent Nail Polish Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetles-christmas-advent-calendar.md) - [Toy Brick Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advent-calendars-for-2025.md) - [Jewelry-Filled Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abbott-lyon-jewelry-advent-calendar.md) - [Superhero-Themed Puzzled Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avengers-advent-calendar.md)
