It took all of one minute in December 2024 for Burger King to sell out of its Advent Calendar. Fans of the fast food joint are hoping their odds of getting their hands on one are a bit better this year – and the company is giving them some new tools to grab one.
The limited edition calendar made its debut last year, with a blend of gifts and discounts to make it an especially meaty holiday season. And it's not changing the formula much this year.
Calendars will go on sale Nov. 21 for a price of $19.54, which also happens to be the year the Burger King assumed the throne. It will come with a dozen gifts that value over $100, the chain says. And this year will have a twist of nostalgia.
Not to spoil the surprise, but here's what the calendar will contain:
Burger King is letting customers sign up for text alerts that will remind them when the calendar goes on sale. Just text START to 251-251* to sign up and get on the wait list. You can also bookmark the calendar's sale page on Shopify $SHOP to begin refreshing as the date draws near.
Either way, be prepared to act fast. A quick sell-out created a viral moment – and that's worth more than the buzz over the actual calendars.
If you're not fast enough to get your hands on the BK Advent Calendar (or worry you won't be), there are loads of other offbeat Advent Calendar options to explore. Among your options are…
