Hot Wheels has unveiled an advent calendar for the festive period, boasting 24 doors to open and 34 pieces in total. Better still, there’s a savvy way to slash the price from £20 to under a fiver.
The Hot Wheels 2026 Advent Calendar ordinarily retails at £20 at Argos, but registering as a new member of the money-saving platform TopCashback nets you a £15 cashback sign-up bonus when you spend £15 or more at a participating retailer.
Argos is amongst those retailers, meaning that once cashback is applied, the price drops to just £4.82 for new TopCashback members and new Argos customers. Those who’ve previously shopped with Argos receive slightly less cashback, bringing the price to £4.92 after cashback is factored in.
The calculated price includes free click and collect, while those preferring home delivery will find standard postage starts from £4.95. The set features 24 doors, each concealing either a 1:64 scale toy car or an accessory.
The Hot Wheels set comprises 10 vehicles, 10 ornament clips for displaying them on a tree, and 14 surprise accessories including a reindeer or gingerbread house. The star centrepiece is an exclusive snow globe car complete with a yeti driver, reports Wales Online.

As the product is newly launched, only two reviews have been posted so far, with both awarding the full five stars. One reviewer said: “Happy grandson on December 1. Excellent quality product.”
The other review said: “Got this for December, hopefully be loved by grandson. Good easy order and collect process.”
There haven’t been any critical remarks posted so far, though it’s worth highlighting that the item is not appropriate for youngsters under three.
