There are a couple of new holiday LEGO sets that I wanted to make sure you’re aware of. The LEGO Winter Village sets from 2019 and 2018 are still available, and the 2020 LEGO Winter Village set should be announced soon. The LEGO Advent Calendars (City, Friends, Star Wars, and Harry Potter) are also very popular to count down the days for Christmas. However, those are also some other holiday-related sets worth checking out.
The #40423 LEGO Halloween Hayride is part of the LEGO Iconic series that features holiday and seasonal sets and gift items. It includes a cute Halloween scene with a buildable entrance arch that could be placed in front of a LEGO house or farm, a vintage tractor with hay cart, some decorative details, and a couple of minifigs; a tractor driver dressed up as a mummy and a girl wearing a skeleton costume. The entrance arch measures over 5” (13cm) high and 3” (10cm) wide, and together with the tractor, minifigures and accessories, it makes a cute Halloween display piece. The set comes with 148 pieces, and the price is $12.99. You can pick it up at the seasonal items section of the Online LEGO Shop.
A similarly sized new set in the LEGO Iconic collection is the #40424 LEGO Winter Snowball Fight. The set features a buildable snow fort, working snowball catapult, hill with a working sledge-launch function, snowman, a tree and a table with mug and cookies. Both the boy and the girl minifigures have brand new torso prints, plus you also get a husky. This is a great little set to add to your LEGO Winter Village layout, or to winterize your regular LEGO city. It comes with 149 pieces, and the price is $12.99. It’s available at the seasonal items section of the Online LEGO Shop.
Another way to add some holiday fun to your LEGO layouts is with the annual LEGO Advent Calendars. This year, we get the #60268 LEGO City Advent Calendar, the #75279 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, the #75981 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar, and the #41420 LEGO Friends Advent Calendar. The sets are really nice this year with some cute little builds and awesome minifigs, so check them out at the seasonal items section of the Online LEGO Shop.
Although it won’t be available until the end of the month, we already know that the LEGO Winter Village set this year is going to be the #10275 LEGO Winter Village Elf Clubhouse. The most notable feature of this set is the exclusive reindeer. Other than that, it follows the pattern of the previous LEGO Winter Village sets; cute house, Christmas tree, lots of Christmas decorations and accessories, and several elves. Again, this set will be available at the end of the month. And if you’re new to the LEGO Winter Village collection, you can still get the #10267 LEGO Winter Village Gingerbread House from last year, and the #10263 LEGO Winter Village Fire Station from a couple of years ago. They are all available at the seasonal items section of the Online LEGO Shop.

They are not as cool as some of the previous year ones like the small gingerbread house. But I would like to get those exclusive minifigs.
The advent calendars are really good this year. I hope I can find a sale because I want three (star wars, hp, and city).
There will likely be sales around January-February 2021… =/
If you’re in the US, check the ubiquitous neighborhood box store. Dunno if I can say the name of the store, but they’re selling them for $20 unlicensed/$30 licensed instead of the usual $30/$40. Dunno if it’s a mistake or not, but I went ahead and ordered the ones I wanted when I saw that last week. Just checked the web site and they’re still available at those prices.
Hm… good suggestion. I have seen them at bookstores as well.
When is the new winter village set going to be announced? I heard it has a reindeer.
Yeah, I think it was called the “Elf Club House”, if I remember correctly…
The reindeer is cool, but there is only one of them, and the set is not as interesting as I hoped it would be. It has no special features and looks too similar to the earlier buildings.
