The Hot Wheels 2026 Advent Calendar is available for £3.58 after cashback for new TopCashback users, down from its £24.99 price at John Lewis. The set includes 34 pieces, letting children build a winter-themed car collection.
John Lewis is currently offering the calendar at a 25% discount, reducing its price from £24.99 to £18.74. Shoppers can save further by using a TopCashback deal, which gives new members £15 cashback when they spend £15 or more on an item. This brings the effective cost to £3.58, provided the shopper is new to TopCashback. Existing John Lewis customers can still use the deal, but it is not available to those who already have a TopCashback account.
How the cashback offer works
For shoppers who already have a TopCashback account, the calendar costs £18.58 after cashback is applied. The initial £18.74 spend is required, with the cashback returned to the TopCashback account, which can then be transferred to a bank or PayPal account. Cashback is not paid instantly and can take up to seven days to appear. Standard delivery from John Lewis costs £4.50, which adds to the final checkout total.
What's inside the calendar
The Hot Wheels Advent Calendar features 24 doors to open in the run-up to Christmas, each hiding either a 1:64 scale toy car or an accessory. One vehicle is an exclusive Hot Wheels snow globe car with a Yeti driver. Other accessories include classic Christmas motifs such as reindeer and a gingerbread house.
The set is not rated as suitable for children under three years old. As of now, there are no reviews available for the 2026 calendar.
