Zootopia Christmas Advent Calendar: 24-Door Character Ornament Guide
Zootopia 2 turned a 2016 animated hit into a holiday-season fixture, and the countdown merchandise followed. Among the first ornament-style boxes to reach US shoppers is the Zootopia Christmas advent calendar, a navy night-sky carton framed in gold that hides twenty-four miniature character ornaments behind numbered doors. Judy Hopps wears a velvet Santa dress on the cover. Nick Wilde sports an elf hat. Behind a clear plastic tray, every figure hangs from its own gold loop.
- Franchise moment: Zootopia 2 reached US theaters in November 2025 and moved to Disney+ on March 11, 2026, so the characters are still in heavy rotation this December.
- What is inside: A gold-edged box with Judy, Nick, Chief Bogo, Clawhauser, and Flash in holiday costume, plus a 24-slot tray of glossy hanging figures.
- Collector angle: Priced at $63.95 and in stock at Bipubunny, each figure has a gold hanging loop for a tree branch or a mantel garland.
Why Zootopia Fans Are Counting Down to December 2026
Walt Disney Animation Studios released Zootopia 2 on November 26, 2025, bringing back Ginnifer Goodwin as Judy Hopps and Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde. Idris Elba returned as Chief Bogo, and Ke Huy Quan joined the cast as a pit viper named Gary De'Snake. The sequel went on to earn more than $1.8 billion worldwide, according to Wikipedia's Zootopia 2 entry.
December 1 is only weeks away. Lock in the Zootopia advent calendar while stock lasts.
From Disney Theaters to a 24-Day Holiday Countdown
Disney's film page for Zootopia 2 describes a city turned upside down by the arrival of a snake, and the franchise has leaned into winter imagery ever since. Streaming made the repeat viewings easy. Since the March 2026 arrival on Disney+, families have had the whole holiday season to rewatch Judy and Nick before the gift lists close.
Holiday countdowns are a natural fit for that rewatch habit. A daily reveal turns a movie night into a 24-night tradition, and the characters double as tree decorations once December ends.

Who This Countdown Box Is Built For
Three kinds of buyers keep landing on this box. Parents who want a non-chocolate countdown for kids who already love the films. Adult collectors who hang one themed ornament per year on a dedicated mini tree. And gift buyers looking for something more specific than a generic holiday set for a Zootopia fan in the family.
Glossy cartoon figures. Gold hanging loops. A box worth keeping on a shelf.
Inside the Box: The Cover Art and the 24-Slot Ornament Tray
The cover art does most of the storytelling. A deep navy night sky is dusted with snow and stars, and the whole carton is trimmed in gold, including the narrow side panel, which repeats the starry backdrop with a lit evergreen. The Zootopia title sits in white, rounded 3D capitals with a thin gold outline, and a serif subtitle underneath reads Christmas Advent Calendar.
Five characters share the front. Judy Hopps stands in the center in a red velvet Santa dress with white fur trim, while Nick Wilde wears a green elf outfit with a red scarf and a jingle-bell hat on her left. Chief Bogo looms behind in a navy police uniform. Clawhauser grins in a Santa hat and holds a donut, and Flash the sloth wears reindeer antlers with an orange knit sweater and a small bell. A decorated Christmas tree with a gold star glows between them.
The 24-Compartment Tray and Its Hanging Loops
Slide the contents out and a clear plastic tray holds the figures in a grid of four columns and six rows. Each pocket cradles one miniature, and every figure carries a small gold ring at the top so it can go straight onto a tree branch. Nothing is loose in the box, so a child can count the day and pick the right slot without guessing.
The first row alone gives a sense of the range: Judy in a bundled winter outfit, Nick in green, Chief Bogo with arms crossed and a wreath, and Clawhauser holding a frosted donut. Lower rows add supporting residents, including Finnick carrying a red gift, a sloth in a red vest, and a blue snake wearing a Santa hat. Several smaller townsfolk wear scarves, aprons, and holiday dresses.

How the Zootopia Set Compares With Other Collector Countdowns
Browse the full Advent Calendar Collection →. Most boxes there lean on one theme, such as a sports roster or an anime vault. The Zootopia set is built around an ensemble cast, so the 24 doors work like a mini parade of the city instead of one hero repeated.
Smart Ways to Use the Calendar From December 1 to Christmas Eve
Order timing matters more than most buyers expect. Seasonal collectibles tend to sell through quickly in the last week of November, so a purchase this week leaves room for shipping delays. Once the box arrives, the sensible move is to hide it until the night of November 30 and let the first door be a surprise.
A Nightly Routine That Keeps the Ornaments Safe
- Open one door per evening. The hanging loop lets kids move the figure straight to the tree.
- Hang heavier figures low. Bogo and Clawhauser look best near the trunk where branches are thickest.
- Save the tray. The clear plastic grid stores all 24 figures flat after January.
Gift Ideas for Different Zootopia Fans
For a younger viewer, the box art alone is the draw. For an adult fan, the long game is a themed mantel or a desk-sized tree that gains a few characters each December. Pair the set with a Disney+ movie night and it covers both ends of the season.
