Jazwares has built its 2026 Pokemon Holiday Calendar around battle figures instead of cards, and it is already one of the most searched Pokemon holiday products of the season. It is also frequently confused with a completely different product.
This calendar has nothing to do with the official Pokemon TCG Holiday Calendar, which is a separate card-based release from The Pokemon Company. Jazwares' version is entirely figures and play accessories, which changes who it actually makes sense for.
This guide covers exactly what ships inside the box, how it compares to the TCG format, and what to do with the figures once the countdown ends. Pricing and shipping details are included too, with a clear note on what could not be independently confirmed in Canadian dollars.
If you already know you want cards, skip this one. If you are buying for someone who collects or plays with Pokemon figures, this is the calendar built for exactly that.
The 2026 Jazwares Pokemon Holiday Calendar packs 19 two-inch battle figures and 5 additional accessories behind 24 numbered doors. Every figure carries a special holiday finish exclusive to this calendar, not sold separately in regular figure multi-packs.
That 19-figure, 5-accessory split means five of the doors hold something other than a standalone figure, which is worth knowing going in if you are counting on 24 individual characters.
The official Pokemon TCG Holiday Calendar from The Pokemon Company is built around foil promo cards, booster packs, and card-game accessories like dice and energy packs, not figures. The two products share a holiday-calendar format and a Pokemon license, and nothing else.
As of this writing, The Pokemon Company has not even announced a 2026 edition of the TCG calendar, which makes the Jazwares figure calendar one of the few confirmed Pokemon-branded advent options actually shipping this season.
Published listings for the calendar name a holiday-finish lineup that includes Piplup, Diglett, Bulbasaur, Jigglypuff, Wooloo, Pikachu, Totodile, Charmander, Chikorita, Cubchoo, Growlithe, an Alcremie in its Caramel Swirl form, Cyndaquil, Squirtle, Buizel, and Phanpy, among others filling out the full 19.
That mix leans heavily on starter Pokemon and cold-weather-themed picks like Cubchoo, which fits the holiday branding, but the exact door-by-door order has not been published by Jazwares, so do not expect a guaranteed sequence.
The calendar carries a listed price of $49.99 USD through major US retailers, with preorders shipping starting around September 15, 2026. An exact Canadian-dollar retail price from a Canadian storefront could not be independently confirmed at the time of writing.
Canadian buyers should expect either a converted USD price plus shipping and duties through a cross-border retailer, or a separate CAD listing if one appears closer to the holidays; budget with that uncertainty in mind rather than assuming a clean $49.99 CAD.
For a household that already owns Jazwares' standard Pokemon battle figures, the appeal here is the exclusive holiday finish and the calendar format itself, not rarity in the collector-market sense. These are mass-market figures, not limited collectibles likely to hold resale value.
It is a strong pick for a kid who plays with figures daily and wants a reason to open something small every day in December. It is a weaker pick for a serious display collector who wants figures in protective cases rather than loose play pieces.
Once all 24 doors are open, the figures themselves are small enough to fit cases built for similarly sized collectibles like amiibo figures, even though they were not designed specifically for this line. A dedicated small-format case keeps the holiday-finish paint from rubbing off during regular handling.
A 360-degree rotating display stand is also a practical way to show off the full set at once instead of lining figures up on a flat shelf, especially once you have more than a handful collected across different Jazwares waves.
No, it is a separate figure-based product with no trading cards included.
19 two-inch battle figures plus 5 accessories across 24 doors.
Preorders began shipping around September 15, 2026.

The Jazwares Pokemon Holiday Calendar is a genuinely different product from the TCG calendar, and knowing that before you buy saves a disappointed unboxing on December 1. Confirm the Canadian price at checkout rather than assuming it matches the US listing.
Once the countdown ends, a small-format figure case gives the best pulls a shelf instead of a toy bin.
