Among the latest drops is the official Friends 2021 advent calendar, which has already become a best-seller in three categories since its launch. The Friends advent calendar, published by Insight Editions, is an updated version of the original edition that was released last year. The sequel contains over 25 new keepsakes and trinkets inspired by the show, including paper ornaments, recipe cards, activity booklets, stationery, and more. The calendar officially starts shipping on October 5, but you can preorder it right now for 10 percent off. Tons of shoppers have already added it to their carts, which is why it's shot up as the number one best-seller in the game, art, and television calendars categories. Amazon Buy It! Friends: The Official Advent Calendar (2021 Edition), $26.99 (orig. $29.99); amazon.com The (almost) best part? The 2020 Friends advent calendar is still available for purchase if you want to get the whole experience. The first edition was a hit last year; it racked up over 5,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who said it was beautifully designed and worth the money — especially if you're a "die-hard Friends fan." "I ordered this for my daughter, who is a big Friends fan," one customer wrote. "Was surprised at how well thought out the items were behind each day — often there [were] multiple [items]. It has been one of the coolest advent calendars ever and completely worth the cost of it. I would definitely buy it again." Amazon Buy It!
