This year is all about the Yankees’ 122nd Anniversary, and honestly, the buzz is huge. Not just because of the great run the team had in the 2025 season with guys like Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger hitting monster home runs, but because of the massive news that dropped earlier this year: the organization finally amended its decades-old facial grooming policy! It was one of the last old-school rules in all of sports, and seeing those ‘clean and disciplined’ well-groomed beards on the field is a major cultural shift. It proves that even the most historic, tradition-bound institutions are embracing a new era. This advent calendar, sold by us at Laughinks, is a celebration of that perfect blend of classic history and exciting new beginnings.

The Narrator: The Obsessed, Nostalgic NYC Transplant

Hey, I’m Mike. I live on the West Coast now, but my heart is 100% in the Bronx. My dad used to tell me stories about the Yankee teams from the ’70s and ’80s, and to me, being a Yankees fan isn’t just about watching a game; it’s about holding onto that legacy. That’s why I’m telling you, this isn’t just some flimsy holiday box. This is a handmade tribute to 122 years of history, perfect for the fan who appreciates the past as much as the present.

‘What Exactly Am I Opening? Is it Just Random Swag?’

I get it. Most advent calendars are just cheap filler, but this is different. Given that it’s a Handmade piece and marks the 122nd Anniversary, this calendar should be built around memorable, collectible moments that actually mean something to a true fan. Think about the epic stuff that happened this year and throughout history:

• The 2025 Beard Reveal: Imagine getting a mini collectible commemorating the first game a Yankee player took the field with a beard. That’s a piece of history right there.
• Old-Timers’ Day Tribute: The 77th Old-Timers’ Day this year was a massive reunion, especially honoring the 2000 World Series team. You could open a day that features a mini print or pin dedicated to a legend like Mariano Rivera or Jorge Posada.
• Current Team Highlights: Every fan wants a piece of the modern era. Picture a slot holding a custom item marking one of Ben Rice’s massive games or a tiny bobblehead decal of Anthony Volpe turning a slick double play.

It’s not random. It’s a curated daily dose of Pinstripe pride. The small size—approximately 11 inches(W) x 7 inches(H) x 1.96 inches(D)—makes it an ideal display piece for your home office or man cave.

‘Is This Just for Christmas, or a Year-Round Celebration?’

The 2025 New York Yankees 122nd Anniversary Advent Calendar is definitely meant to celebrate the countdown to something—but it doesn’t have to be Christmas! The anniversary year runs all through 2025. You could use this as a:

• Post-Season Countdown: Start it in October after the season ends to keep the energy going until the World Series or the off-season moves start.
• Spring Training Kick-Off: Begin opening a window a day in February as a countdown to the first pitch of the new season.
• Birthday Surprise: If you have a true Yankees fanatic in your life, why not use it as a 25-day countdown to their birthday? It’s far more creative than a card.

Because it’s Handmade, you’re investing in a keepsake, not a seasonal throwaway. The care put into the construction means it’s built to be a permanent piece of your Yankees collection.

‘I’m an Old-School Fan. Will it Focus Too Much on the New Guys?’

The beauty of this calendar is in the balance. The Yankees are the ultimate legacy franchise. When we talk about the 122nd anniversary, we have to talk about Babe Ruth, Jeter, and the 27 championships. The most valuable collectibles right now, like the Aaron Judge MVP Bobblehead and the George Costanza Sleeping Under His Desk Bobblehead from this year’s promos, show that the team embraces both history and pop culture humor. This calendar captures that spirit—it’s a deep dive into the whole 122-year timeline, making sure you get a blend of classic Bronx Bombers legends and the exciting new era of beards and big-time home runs.
