Why have a tiny chocolate and disappointment every day, when you can have this absolute unit of a Minecraft LEGO advent calendar?
This year, fans can count down to the big day with a new LEGO delight as you build the anticipation for Christmas, and LEGO have finally made a Minecraft edition for the first time.

Following the success of the Minecraft movie, we imagine a whole new audience has discovered the world-building game and will be wanting to get their hands on this festive calendar.
They sell out every year anyway, and it's easy to see why with the value for money and how many pieces are included.
The calendar features 24 days of buildable gifts, with attention to detail that will thrill every fan of the video game and the film.
Suitable for ages 7 and up, there are multiple Minifigures included and they've all got into the Christmas spirit.
Alex is looking very Christmassy wearing a Creeper sweater, while Steve has gone for a look we like to call fun but festive with a snowman sweater and diamond helmet and holding a pickaxe.
There's also a Creeper next to a sweet berry bush, a Drowned with a trident plus a Stray with diamond armor.
Who knew that Minecraft could be so jolly?
They might be spooky normally but everyone is feeling the joy of the holidays with a snow Golem; a Zombie with an enchanted axe; and a Santa villager with a furnace.
As well as the Minifigures, imaginations can run riot with a whole host of small toys you can world build with.
There's also a fold out playmat to create with, too.
The hard part will resisting the urge to open all of the doors before the big day (no judgement here, we've all done it!)
We can only apologise for how many times you'll hear the Chicken Jockey Song in the run up to Christmas, though...
If Minecraft isn't your thing, there are several other LEGO advent calendars to enjoy this festive season.
The suitably wintry - it's cold and snow, after all - LEGO Disney's Frozen advent calendar is a must for fans of Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Sven, and we hope you enjoy serenading loved ones with the tunes. The box also turns into a board game as well which kids will love.
Potterheads will be enchanted by the LEGO Harry Potter edition, with Harry Potter, Cho Chang, Draco Malfoy and Luna Lovegood all clad in Hogwarts Christmas jumpers.
You can also collect a Hogwarts acceptance letter, a box of Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans, and find out which house you'd be in with the Sorting Hat.
There's also a stag patronus, a Hedwig owl and more.
One fan raved: "I buy them every year for my husband and we have great fun building them!"
Star Wars addicts can add to their collection with this detailed calendar, featuring a frankly adorable BB-8 in a snowman costume with a top hat. There's also a Jawa, Mouse Droid and Medical Droid in suitably festive outfits, so its not just you who gets made to wear the ugly Christmas sweater. There's even a Christmas tree!
There's also a LEGO City and Lego Friends theme, with adorable pets, polar bears and reindeer, you're really spoiled for choice this Christmas.
