A hanging sign reads "Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe" with a wreath and fruit decoration below the text.

Following the nearly three dozen new pieces of Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise we reported on earlier this month, this new plush advent calendar is the latest item featuring the beloved movie. We found it at the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Magic Kingdom.

The advent calendar can also be purchased online from the Disney Store.

Nightmare Before Christmas Advent Calendar – $159.99

Coffin-shaped box Advent Calendar with a Christmas tree of stacked jack-o’-lanterns from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The front of the box features Jack Skellington and his best pal Zero beside a Christmas tree motif made from jack-o’-lanterns with various faces — one with a shining star, and one with a Christmas tree. They are wound into the tree shape by a twisting, green pumpkin vine.

Beneath the tree are three ominous-looking black jack-o’-lanterns. This motif is repeated on the back as well. The background is black with white dots and black bats in the sky, with a white, snow-covered ground.

The calendar counts down from a spooky 13 days with a new mystery plush behind each door until it’s time for Sandy Claws’ arrival. Each plushie is a cute, stylized version of the Halloween Town residents. Even Oogie Boogie is looking cuter than ever.

On either side of the box, the black background continues with teal cobwebs framing the top and bottom. One side features fan favorite and Jack’s lady love, Sally, while the other side has the troublemaking Lock, Shock, and Barrel.

A Nightmare Before Christmas-themed box with cartoon villains sits on the counter, surrounded by colorful shelves and registers.

Each door provides a potential clue as to which character can be found inside. We know that at least Sally, Oogie Boogie, and Jack as Santa are featured. Since Sally appears out of her respective door, Jack, as Santa, may come from his door #2, and Oogie out of his door #4.

Other doors prominently feature Lock, Shock, Barrel, Behemoth, Vampire Teddy, and the skyline of Halloween Town itself. Every new door offers a spooky new surprise!
