Denver Broncos Miles Mascot Advent Calendar 2026

Miles gives a thumbs-up from the front of this navy box, wearing his orange 00 jersey with the Broncos horse logo stretched across the snow at his feet. Behind him, a lit stadium sits under falling snow with wrapped presents and Christmas trees along the sideline.

The Story Behind Miles

Miles was born from one of the best nights in franchise history. The Broncos trace his origin to January 31, 1999, when they beat the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl XXXIII for back-to-back titles. He made his first public appearance two seasons later, on September 10, 2001, in a Monday night game against the New York Giants that opened the team’s new stadium at Mile High. Since then he has been a fixture of home games, high-fiving children in the stands and working the crowd from the sidelines.

In 2026 Miles was inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame. He shares game days with Thunder, the white Arabian horse who has galloped the length of the field after Broncos touchdowns since 1993, and with a fan base that has celebrated three Super Bowl titles: XXXII, XXXIII and 50. Orange Crush defences, Elway’s comebacks and Peyton Manning’s last ride are all part of what families pass down, and Miles is the friendly face that ties those memories to the next generation. For Broncos families, he is often the first player a child learns to recognise, and that is exactly why he works as the face of a Christmas countdown.

Inside the Windows

The pieces mix Miles in different holiday poses with Broncos game-day touches such as helmets, footballs, jerseys and stadium views. The numbered layout in our photos shows the whole set at a glance; it does not tell you which design sits behind each window. Each piece is flat acrylic printed on both sides, ready to hang or stand.

Several designs hanging on a family Christmas tree.

Standard or Premium

The calendar comes in two sizes, each with 24 pieces that you can order either as hanging ornaments with a hole for a hook or ribbon, or with a stand base to display upright:

• Standard: pieces about 3.2 × 3.2 cm, in a 13.5 × 18 × 3 cm box weighing 135 g.
• Premium: larger pieces at 4.3 × 4.3 cm (square) or 4 × 5 cm (rectangular), in a 28 × 19 × 5 cm box.

The outer box is printed paper with a moulded plastic tray inside, and the windows are die-cut along dotted lines so they open cleanly day by day. Each piece is matte on one face and glossy on the other; peel the protective film before hanging or standing it, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

A few designs standing on a desk next to the box.

Who It Is For

Give it to the child who already waves at Miles on TV, to grandparents who have held season tickets since the John Elway years, or to a friend who moved away from Denver and misses game days at Mile High. By Christmas Eve the tree will carry a little Broncos country, and the pieces come out again every December.
