Call of Duty 23rd Anniversary Advent Calendar

Twenty-Three Years of Tactical History: From October 2003 to the 2026 Holiday Countdown

When Infinity Ward released the original World War II Call of Duty on October 29, 2003, few PC players anticipated that those early squad-based firefights would grow into a twenty-three-year cross-studio legacy spanning Cold War covert operations, modern counter-terror task forces, and late-night undead survival. The Call of Duty 23rd Anniversary Advent Calendar marks that 2003 – 2026 milestone with a 24-day December countdown built specifically for Christmas tree branches, gaming desks, and squad gifting.

The vertical rigid paperboard exterior sets a tactical tone before the first numbered door opens. Finished in matte black and olive-drab green with bronze-gold corner ribbon graphics and white snowflakes, the front cover centers a riveted gunmetal-silver octagonal vault frame around Task Force 141 lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Riley in his skull balaclava, desert-tan plate carrier, and four-tube panoramic night-vision goggles. Behind Ghost sit archival dossier snapshots—a 2003 three-soldier squad silhouette, black-and-white combat photography, and red-stamped classified folders—while twin silver dog tags stamped 23 hang above the motto 23 YEARS. COUNTLESS MISSIONS. 2003–2026.

Task Force 141, Black Ops Legends, and Zombies Relics in Contoured Acrylic

Inside the 24 individually numbered compartments, each daily reveal is die-cut from lightweight, clear-bordered 2D acrylic with high-contrast surface printing that catches warm Christmas tree lights without weighing down pine boughs:

• Modern Warfare & Black Ops Campaign Roster: Honors the franchise’s signature characters with two distinct Ghost ornaments—a full-body tactical stance holding an assault rifle and a close-up skull-balaclava portrait in dark sunglasses and headset—paired alongside Treyarch Black Ops veterans Alex Mason, bandana-wearing Frank Woods, and Red Army captain Viktor Reznov in his winter ushanka and greatcoat.
• Nuketown & Round-Based Zombies Icons: Preserves fan-favorite multiplayer and survival history through the weathered yellow-and-brown Welcome to Nuketown road sign, a rear-view Nuketown hazmat operator carrying a radiation trefoil pack, the red-and-green Ray Gun blaster, an electric-blue Mystery Box crate, a red Jugger-Nog dispenser, a fez-capped cymbal Monkey Bomb, and a glowing-eyed Zombie bust.
• Warzone Loadouts & Prestige Hardware: Rounds out the 24-day drop with glowing green four-tube Modern Warfare Night Vision goggles, a black 141 Tactical Helmet over a skull mask, a twin-canister Warzone gas mask, a ballistic Riot Shield, a heavy armored Juggernaut helmet, twin silver Call of Duty Dog Tags, and a crimson-ribboned 23 Prestige Medal.

Because every ornament features a molded top eyelet ring accompanied by silver beaded ball-chains and metal S-hooks, players can hang the 24-piece lineup across evergreen branches during December and later clip favorite emblems onto a gaming backpack or headset stand. Squadmates who also collect freestanding 3D undead pedestals for their desk can pair this hanging ornament set with the Call of Duty Zombies calendar.
