This advent(ure) calendar features coasters with art from classic Doctor Who episodes, and gifts fans will love – including a Sontaran egg cup for the Christmas or Boxing Day breakfast! Each of the 24 gifts contains a note card on the trivia behind it.

This fun new product for the holiday season comes as Jodie Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall bow out with their final episodes on Doctor Who.

The BBC has confirmed that former showrunner Russell T Davies will be returning to Doctor Who for its 60th anniversary and further series in 2023 and beyond, while Sex Education's Ncuti Gatwa will take over helming the TARDIS.

Upon the announcement of his upcoming time-travelling adventures, Gatwa said: "There aren't quite the words to describe how I'm feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared.

"This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my utmost to do the same."

Doctor Who returns in 2023 on BBC One in the UK and Disney+ elsewhere. Meanwhile, in the US, the show airs on BBC America, with series 1-12 available on HBO Max. Classic Doctor Who streams on BritBox in the UK.
