Snap together a functioning Nutcracker, an adorable Santa's Sleigh, ornaments for your real tree, or even build your own Christmas Tree out of Lego bricks

Lego's Popular Christmas Sets Are Back - Santa's Sleigh, Gingerbread Ornaments, And More

Clocks have officially fallen back an hour, bringing with them shorter days and longer nights. Thankfully, the holiday season is right around the corner to make the cold dark a bit more bearable--and what better way to get into the holiday spirit than with a new Lego set? Each year, Lego releases a batch of seasonal Lego sets for the winter holidays. Some are brand new, while others are popular kits from previous years. These sets are generally only available this time of year--unless you buy them from a reseller. Over at Amazon, several adorable Christmas-themed Lego sets are now available, including Santa’s Sleigh, Nutcracker Figure, Gingerbread Ornaments, Christmas Tree, and more.

  • Santa’s Sleigh (343 pieces) -- $38 ($40)
  • Nutcracker Figure (208 pieces) -- $13
  • Gingerbread Ornaments (190 pieces) --12 ($13)
  • Christmas Tree (784 pieces) -- $44
  • Santa's Post Office (1,440 pieces) -- $100
  • Santa's Delivery Truck (224 pieces) -- $20
  • Poinsettia (608 pieces) -- $50
  • Christmas Wreath: 2-in-1 (510 pieces) -- $60
  • Holiday Main Street Christmas Village (1,514 pieces) -- $86 ($100)
  • Alpine Lodge (1,517 pieces) -- $100
  • Wreath (1,194 pieces) -- $100
  • Home Alone: McCallisters’ House (3,955 pieces) -- $300

The Lego Store also has most of the seasonal sets plus two other jolly builds you won't find anywhere else: Santa's Post Office and Santa's Delivery Truck. The 1,440-piece Santa's Post Office, shown in the image above, comes with minifigures of Santa and four elves, all of whom are hard at work sorting through wishlists from kids around the world.

Lego Santa’s Sleigh is one of the most popular choices, and it’s currently seeing a bit of a discount. Listed for $38 (was $40), the 343-brick set lets you snap together a sleigh overflowing with Christmas gifts. You’ll also find four reindeer figures and a Santa minifigure, plus a variety of decorated saddles and gifts like a guitar, skis, and a teddy bear.

It’s not tall enough to replace a real Christmas tree, but the 11-inch Lego Christmas Tree is a fairly big build for its $44 price. The 784-piece set comes with plenty of small ornaments for you to place on its blocky limbs, along with a star topper. You also have the option to build two smaller trees instead of one big one--so if you’re shopping for siblings, they can each make their own tree.

Other highlights include a Nutcracker Figure with a movable jaw, customizable Gingerbread Ornaments, and a Poinsettia with a unique woven basket built entirely out of Lego. The latter is one of the most expensive holiday sets at $50, but it’s also one of the most premium-looking. Consider picking it up if you want floral décor to brighten up your home that doesn’t require any maintenance.
