Christmas has come early this year—or at least LEGO thinks so. The Danish brick masters have officially gone full festive mode with three holly-jolly sets now on shelves: the LEGO Up-Scaled Santa Minifigure, the LEGO Icons Holiday Express Train, and the LEGO Icons Family Christmas Tree Decoration. Together, they form the ultimate holiday starter pack for anyone who thinks Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” should start playing the moment Halloween ends.
LEGO Up-Scaled Santa Minifigure (40820)
Standing 27 cm (10.5 in.) tall, the LEGO Up-Scaled Santa Minifigure (40820) is the big guy himself—only this time, you get to build him. With 761 pieces, he’s got the classic red outfit, white beard, and that unmistakable “I-know-if-you’ve-been-bad” expression. His arms move, he can sit or stand, and unlike your real Christmas decor, he won’t mysteriously vanish into storage until next November. A festive showpiece that’s as fun to assemble as it is to show off.
LEGO Icons Holiday Express Train (10361)
All aboard the LEGO Icons Holiday Express Train (10361)—956 pieces of pure yuletide nostalgia. The 49 cm-long (19.5 in.) set features a steam locomotive with a bobbing smokestack, a polar bear that rings a bell, and even LEGO’s first-ever 3D-printed piece. It comes with a 16-piece circular track and can be motorized using the LEGO Powered Up kit (sold separately), which is perfect for anyone who likes their Christmas displays to move and make noise.
LEGO Icons Family Christmas Tree Decoration (41843)
Finally, the LEGO Icons Family Christmas Tree Decoration (41843) brings Christmas to another dimension—literally. This 3,171-piece build stands 46 cm (18 in.) tall and opens to reveal an entire festive world inside, complete with elves, Mrs. Claus, reindeer, and Cataclaws, LEGO’s new brick-built feline hero. It even has working knobs to animate its tiny train and kitchen clock. It’s like having a Christmas village in tree form—just with fewer pine needles.
Pricing and Availability
All three sets are available now at LEGO Stores and LEGO.com, priced at US$54.99 for Santa, US$129.99 for the Holiday Express Train, and US$329.99 for the Family Christmas Tree Decoration.
If you need an official excuse to start decorating way too early, well, maybe these will do.
