What’s coming back
The BK Advent Calendar, a limited-edition Burger King holiday collectible, returns for a third consecutive year with what Burger King calls an entirely custom design. The 2026 version's theme is new: rather than a set of unrelated items, the 12 doors hold miniature menu items and restaurant fittings that assemble on day 12 into a model Burger King restaurant. Burger King ties the concept to what it describes as a growing craze for miniatures. The returning elements are the format — 12 doors, limited edition, online-only, sold in small daily quantities — and the calendar itself as an annual release.
When it was last around
Burger King says this is the third year in a row for the Advent Calendar, and that the past two each sold out in under five minutes. Beyond that it publishes nothing about the earlier runs: no sale dates, no prices, no production numbers and no indication of whether they were also online-only. The "under five minutes" figure is the company's own account of its past sales rather than a verified one, and this page carries no independent record of either previous drop.
How long: Five daily drops, November 16–20, 2026, while daily supplies last — Burger King reserves the right to modify or terminate the promotion at any time without notice
Why people care
A collectible that sells out in minutes turns a purchase into a timed exercise, so the useful facts are the ones that are usually missing from this kind of announcement: the exact day, the exact time, the exact quantity, where it is sold and what the limits are. Burger King published all of them this year, which makes the one inconsistency — the start time printed two ways in the same release — the single thing most likely to cost someone a calendar.
The miniatures angle also makes this calendar a keepsake rather than a countdown of sweets, which is a different proposition from most food-brand advent calendars and the reason the day-12 assembly is the centrepiece.
What Burger King announced
Burger King announced on November 5, 2026 that the BK Advent Calendar returns for the 2026 holiday season. The company frames it as a limited-edition collectible rather than a food promotion: the calendar's 12 doors hold miniature versions of Burger King menu items and restaurant fittings, which assemble into a model of a Burger King restaurant.
Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer for Burger King US&C, is quoted saying it is the third year in a row for the calendar and that "these limited-edition Advent Calendars sell out fast".
Unlike most of Burger King's seasonal announcements, this one carries a full set of numbers: a price, a start date, an end date, a daily quantity and a purchase limit. That is unusual enough to be worth saying plainly, because the recurring problem with chain announcements is the absence of exactly these fields.
The drop: dates, time, quantity and limits
Burger King says 110 calendars will be available daily beginning Monday, November 16 through Friday, November 20, while daily supplies last. They are sold exclusively on BKAdventCalendar.com — not in restaurants, and not through the BK app.
On the start time, the announcement is not internally consistent. The body of the release says 12 p.m. ET. The footnote gives the sale window as 11.16.2026 – 11.20.2026 at "9a EST / 12 PST", which has the zone labels the wrong way round — 12 p.m. ET is 9 a.m. PT, not 9 a.m. ET. Read with the labels corrected, the two agree on a single moment; read as printed, they do not. The time stated in the body of Burger King's own release is 12 p.m. ET, and that is the one this page reports.
There is a limit of one calendar per order, household, address, name and email, and Burger King says duplicate orders will be deleted. Shipping is free standard to the 48 contiguous U.S. states and D.C. only — Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories and P.O. boxes are excluded. Calendars ship the week of November 30, and Burger King says actual delivery times will vary. Sales are final, with no exchanges, returns or substitutions.
What is behind the 12 doors
Burger King lists the contents as miniature versions of its menu items and restaurant fittings. The menu minis are a Whopper in its new box packaging, the new nuggets with sauce, fries and tray, and an ice cream cone. The restaurant minis are the King's Booth, a kitchen prep station, a soda machine, a team member figure and a Guest figure. Two holiday pieces round it out: a reindeer and a holiday tree.
The company publishes dimensions for each piece, which is more detail than these promotions usually carry: the Whopper and box at 1.5 by 1.5 inches, the King's Booth at 4.25 by 2.125 inches, the soda machine at 2 by 2.75 inches, the team member and Guest figures at 3.5 by 1.5 inches each, the holiday tree at 2.35 by 4 inches, and the reindeer at 3 by 2.25 inches.
On day 12 the pieces come together into the complete miniature restaurant. The final door also holds a miniature $5 BK digital coupon, which Burger King says is redeemable only by registered Royal Perks members who have reached the age of majority in their state, by scanning a QR code into the BK app. It cannot be combined with other offers and is not valid on delivery.
The calendar carries a choking-hazard warning for small parts and is not intended for children under 3.
The price, and where it comes from
The 2026 calendar is $19.54. Burger King states that figure itself and explains it as a nod to 1954, the year the company was founded.
That is worth noting because a price on this site normally has to be chased or left out entirely — most chain announcements omit one, and a price that appears only in coverage does not go on the page. Here the company published it in the announcement, so it is stated as a fact rather than attributed to reporting.
Burger King does not say what the calendar cost in either of the two previous years, so this page makes no comparison with them.
The sell-out record, and what Burger King does not say about it
Burger King says the past two calendars each sold out in under five minutes, and that this is the third year in a row it has run. Those two statements together are the practical reason the drop mechanics matter more than the contents: at 110 units a day across five days, the total run is small.
What the company does not publish is any detail of those earlier years — not the dates they went on sale, not the prices, not how many were made. The "under five minutes" figure is Burger King's own characterisation of its past sales, not an audited number, and no independent account of the previous sell-outs is cited here.
Nor does Burger King say what happens if a day's 110 do not sell out, whether unsold stock rolls into the next day, or whether the run will be extended. The announcement reserves the right to modify or terminate the promotion at any time without notice.
What Burger King has not said
No total production number. Burger King gives 110 per day across five days but does not state a total, and does not say whether that is the whole run.
No restaurant availability. The calendar is online-only, and Burger King does not mention any in-restaurant or in-app route to one.
No prior-year figures, no restock policy, and no word on international availability — the shipping terms cover the 48 contiguous states and D.C. only, and the announcement says nothing about anywhere else.
