The Nightmare Before Christmas is finally getting a Funko advent calendar in time for Christmas with 24 Pop! mini figures of all your favourite characters. 

The Tim Burton stop motion animation film, The Nightmare Before Christmas was released in 1993 and remains to be a popular Halloween-Christmas movie. Now, Funko and Disney have teamed up again to bring you more with an advent calendar as an extension to their collection of the Tim Burton characters.

This is not the first Pop! Advent Calendar with previous years ranging from Harry Potter to Marvel, and considering their success it’s no wonder we finally have a Christmas film theme.

In May 2020 Funko released Pop! figures of The Nightmare Before Christmas characters including, Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie, Sally, the Mayor of Halloween Town and more in their Funkoween collections. Currently for individual sale there are figures of Jack, Sally, Oogie Boogie and Zero.

So far we know there will be mini figures of Jack Skellington, Sally, Oogie Boogie and Dr. Finkelstein in the calendar. The other 20 characters remain will remain a mystery until you complete the calendar.

According to Funko’s Instagram the calendar is scheduled to be shipped in September, just in time to count down for Christmas, or Halloween if you wish, because let’s face it, it’s a movie you can watch twice a year.

The Nightmare Before Christmas advent calendar is available for pre-order on various sites including Pop in a Box for $49.99 and Entertainment Earth for $54.99.
