Nottingham Forest FC 24-Day Advent Calendar

Built for supporters who follow life on the banks of the River Trent, the Nottingham Forest FC 24-Day Advent Calendar turns the December holiday countdown into a daily tribute to one of English football’s oldest clubs. Founded in 1865, Nottingham Forest is celebrated across the front of this Garibaldi-red rigid paperboard box with a detailed rendering of the City Ground—home to the Reds since 1898—and the iconic white Sherwood Forest tree crest crowned by two five-pointed stars for the club’s consecutive 1979 and 1980 European Cup victories. Behind the 24 perforated doors wait 24 freestanding 3D miniature player and manager figurines ready to line a home office desk, bookshelf, or living room mantel.

From the two European Cup stars above the Sherwood tree badge to the floodlight towers of the City Ground, every visual detail on the exterior wrap anchors the 24-day unboxing ritual in authentic Trentside football history.

The City Ground Facade and Perforated Countdown Architecture

The calendar’s upright rectangular body is constructed from heavy rigid paperboard with a full-wrap crimson finish that stands cleanly against winter greenery and warm indoor lighting. The upper half pairs crisp white snowflakes with the minimalist tree-and-waves emblem designed in the 1970s, while the lower half illustrates the red stands and towering floodlights of the City Ground against the Nottingham skyline.

24 Molded 3D Squad Figurines on Circular Pedestals

Rather than flat paper tokens, each numbered door conceals a three-dimensional molded figurine with expressive facial sculpting, painted kit details, and a labeled circular black base. Across the 24 days of December, the collection assembles a full matchday squad:

1. Garibaldi Red Outfield Players: Miniature figures wearing the classic red home shirt, white shorts, and red socks with white trim, each mounted on a flat black pedestal for balanced tabletop placement.
2. Goalkeepers in High-Contrast Kits: Distinct keeper figurines dressed in bright yellow and sky-blue goalkeeper strips with molded gloves to anchor the back line of your display.
3. Touchline Manager Figure: A dedicated coaching figure in a black sideline tracksuit that completes the 24-piece formation.

Once Christmas arrives, the 24 figures transition from a seasonal countdown activity into a year-round supporter display for a media shelf or study corner. If you are assembling holiday gifts for a household that also follows international motorsport alongside English football, consider pairing this set with the Formula One 2026 advent calendar for a coordinated December unboxing tradition.
