Sports and Outdoor Advent Calendars: The Best of 2026

We reviewed the outdoor and sports advent calendars sold in Canada, and we reveal what’s behind each of the 24 doors.

The Plein Air Québec teamOutdoor writing since 2020Updated November 20267 models compared

The advent calendar is no longer just for chocolate: there’s now a version for almost every activity. Camping, survival, golf, basketball — behind each door, a small item related to the person's sport.

The contents vary greatly from one model to another, and that’s the only thing to check before buying: read the list of the 24 items. Some calendars include truly usable gear, while others have collectible figurines. Both have their merits, but it’s not the same gift.

These are seasonal products made in limited quantities. Many models sell out by early December: order in October or November.
