The annual Advent Calendar has become a fine tradition in the Playmobil®-assortment. This years Advent calendar is the fifth in the series and is titled Christmas Forest (3942). This item has already been offered at VEDES toy shops in Germany last year as an exclusive pre-release, together with the Baumschmuck or Christmas decoration (3943) set.

The Santa's Reindeer Sleigh (3604) is not really a novelty either. It is already available in the US/UK markets, and will now be further released in the other European markets, in a slightly different package.

The only Christmas product that is a novelty in the true sense of the word is the Christmas Eve Room (3931). This is a great set that comes with a authentic Christmas tree with working lights and detailed tree decoration. A restyled Santa figure carries in his gifts for every one of the family.
