Burger King Is Releasing Its First-Ever Advent Calendar

Burger King is ready to make your holiday season just a little more cheerful. 

On Tuesday, the Miami-based fast food chain announced that it’s launching its first-ever Burger King Advent Calendar filled with tasty treats and plenty of nostalgia. 

“Burger King loves giving its guests great deals to help make the holiday season brighter, and this year, we wanted to give our biggest fans a little something extra,” Pat O’Toole, the chief marketing officer of Burger King North America, shared in a statement. “In addition to offering great value through our 31 days of delicious deals, the first-ever BK Advent Calendar is the perfect gift to give to yourself or others and help spread holiday cheer.”

Each advent calendar comes with what Burger King calls a “whimsical holiday village design” with 12 tiny doors to open each day of the holiday season. 

As for the goodies inside, the 12 items, Burger King said, are “inspired by past and present menu items, iconic campaigns, and memorable moments throughout the rich, 70-year history of Burger King.” And, in an effort to not spoil the surprise, Burger King wouldn’t go further and share exactly what’s in the calendar, only stating that the full list will be revealed sometime in mid-November. However, it did add that those who get the advent calendar can expect “everything from cozy comfort to festive flair, nods to favorite items like Chicken Fries and the Whopper, and nostalgic nods (hello, Burger King Kids Club!) to inspire unforgettable holiday memories.”

As expected, the advent calendar is available in extremely limited quantities and will be available for $19.54, another nod to Burger King’s past as it was founded in 1954. The goodies inside retail for more than $100, making it a pretty stellar deal. Those who have to have the advent calendar right now can text “ADVENT” to 251-251 to get in line and snag it first when it goes on sale to the public on November 22.

Burger King added that this isn’t the only way it plans to celebrate the season. It’s also offering “31 Days of Deals,” including digital exclusives for Royal Perks members like free food, $0 delivery fees (with a purchase), discounts on its most “iconic menu offerings,” and access to Burger King holiday merchandise drops. All of the deals will come to life in its new “BK Village,” a digital experience via the BK App, which also has a special section to bring the Advent Calendar to life online (yes, they are really driving you to download that app). Throughout the 31 Days of Deals, users can open their digital mailbox to reveal and redeem that day’s deal and see other surprises that, again, Burger King wouldn’t reveal to us here to share with you. So you’ll just have to wait and be surprised like a kid on Christmas morning like the rest of us.
