The holidays and LEGO building go together like hot chocolate and sugar cookies – here is your guide to all of the Christmas LEGO sets that have launched for the 2026 season.
Each year the LEGO Group seems to release more festive models so that fans can decorate for the holidays and that’s true again this year. There’s a range of Christmas sets that will ensure your home is as cosy as can be ready for the big day, from the sizeable Winter Village 11387 Holiday House to the smaller 40958 Christmas Stocking.
These builds look to be fun and festive – they are great to buy for yourself or your family to build and display as part of your Christmas decorations, but they also work as special gifts for the LEGO fan in your life.
Here are all of the Christmas LEGO sets that have debuted for the 2026 holidays.
11387 Holiday House
Pieces: 1354
Price: £99.99 / $119.99 / €109.99
This year’s LEGO Winter Village set is all about getting away from the hustle and bustle, retreating to a quiet festive getaway. Each room in 11387 Holiday House is filled with stockings, poinsettias and festive cheer, while a giant Christmas tree is laden with baubles. There’s also a one-horse open sleigh for dashing in the snow after all of that decorating. As is traditional for this collection, the model looks like it belongs on the front of a classic Christmas card. It’s a great follow up to last year’s 10361 Holiday Express Train.
40865 Buddy the Elf
Pieces: 713
Price: £34.99 / $39.99 / €39.99
Inspired by the adventures of Buddy the Elf as he leaves the North Pole in search of his dad, this buildable figure captures the moment he steps on an iceberg to begin his journey. The bright colours perfectly match the character’s iconic costume, from his pointed shoes to feathery hat. How much the character looks like Will Ferrell is a smidge debatable. 40865 Buddy the Elf also lets you build Arctic Puffin, who offers to go snowberry picking with the tall helper. The claymation style looks absolutely adorable on this little bird.

40874 Santa’s Holiday Countdown
Pieces: 873
Price: £54.99 / $59.99 / €59.99
If you’re one of those people who just can’t wait for the big day, this set is a necessity. Once you’ve built it, you can count down the days until the big man will leave all of the gifts beneath the tree. 40874 Santa’s Holiday Countdown is not just functional though, as that feature is built into a display that has Santa Claus squeezing himself down the chimney with a sack of presents. You can have it on display 99 days out from Christmas if you’re feeling impatiently festive.
40875 Up-Scaled Mrs. Claus Minifigure
Pieces: 904
Price: £54.99 / $59.99 / €59.99
On the topic of Santa, where would he be without Mrs Claus? 40875 Up-Scaled Mrs. Claus Minifigure would look absolutely perfect next to last year’s 40820 Up-Scaled Santa Minifigure (still available to buy). These special sets follow the proportions of the actual minifigures very precisely so look really fun once on display. Mrs. Claus is wearing a fur-trimmed coat over a dark red dress, finished with gold accents and some pom-poms, so could be the perfect character to place on a shelf this holiday season.
The LEGO magazine for fans is a year-round Christmas gift
If you are looking for a Christmas gift for the LEGO fan who has everything, then consider a 12-month or 24-month print subscription to the LEGO magazine for fans. Every month, Blocks publishes a new 116 page magazine packed with behind the bricks features, exclusive build instructions, set reviews, collecting guidance, nostalgic looks at vintage sets, incredible fan creations, inspiration for your next model and much, much more.
As everyone aims to take a little time away from scrolling, the monthly LEGO magazine is a thoughtful holiday present – it’s packed with deeper dives than you can get in a short video, so it gives LEGO fans a way to connect with their hobby in a more meaningful way.
40958 Christmas Stocking
Pieces: 342
Price: £29.99 / $34.99 / €34.99
There are stocking fillers and then there are stockings actually filled with little LEGO treats. 40958 Christmas Stocking is a clever take on an actual stocking, using a myriad of tiles to make a beautifully patterned sock which is then filled with brick-built candy, including a gingerbread biscuit and candy cane. It has both a hook and a stand, so can be displayed on a wall or shelf – and comes with an exclusive nutcracker minifigure.
40862 Holiday Ornament Selection 2
Pieces: 179
Price: £10.99 / $12.99 / €12.99
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a new selection of LEGO ornaments to put on the tree. 40862 Holiday Ornament Selection 2 focuses on cute characters and iconic holiday season icons. You can build Mrs. Claus and Cataclaws (yes, that’s really the name for the little kitty) alongside a Christmas tree and a candy cane. These are really easy to customise, so you can change the colours of the cat to match your own feline friend or add some pizazz to the Christmas tree.
40866 Santa’s Holiday Sleigh Adventure
Pieces: 187
Price: £24.99 / $29.99 / €29.99
40866 Santa’s Holiday Sleigh Adventure is essentially a miniature version of 40499 Santa’s Sleigh from 2021, but it’s a great option if you missed that set or want a smaller sleigh to add to your Winter Village. Importantly, it includes the very desirable baby reindeer! The young critter is a new sculpt that looks cute with its tiny antlers and big eyes, ready to observe as the bigger reindeer pull the sleigh around the world. For children who want the Christmas icons – Santa, Mrs. Claus and reindeer – it’s a good value box.
As always the LEGO Group is offering a great selection of sets perfect for Christmas and at a range of prices to suit different budgets. While these are all of the new sets we’ve picked out, there will also be a selection of holiday recruitment bags and gift with purchase boxes to collect for even more LEGO brick festivity.
