LEGO Belville introduced a single seasonal set as an advent calendar in the early 2000's. LEGO Belville was a product line produced from 1994 to 2009, primarily targeting young girls. The sets were larger in scale than traditional LEGO sets, and the minifigures were more doll-like in appearance. Over the years, the Belville line covered various subthemes such as horse stables, houses, and fantasy elements. The Belville theme was the predecessor to LEGO Friends.
