Christmas is coming early for LEGO fans, with a brand-new collection of festive sets arriving for the 2026 holiday season. The latest wave brings together traditional Christmas decorations, Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and even a new version of one of cinema’s most recognisable Christmas characters.
40862 Holiday Ornament Selection 2
For fans looking for an affordable way to add some LEGO magic to their Christmas decorations, 40862 Holiday Ornament Selection 2 is the smallest set in the new wave.
With 179 pieces and a price of US$12.99 / SGD$19.90, the set contains four buildable Christmas decorations: Mrs. Claus, Cataclaws, a candy cane and a Christmas tree. Some of the decorations feature glow-in-the-dark elements, adding an extra touch of fun.
The ornaments can be hung on a Christmas tree or displayed around the home, making this a nice little family-building activity as the holiday season approaches.
40865 Buddy the Elf
Perhaps the most unexpected addition to the 2026 Christmas collection is 40865 Buddy the Elf.
Based on the beloved Christmas movie character, the 713-piece set recreates Buddy as a brick-built display model. Priced at US$39.99 / SGD$59.90, it gives LEGO fans another festive character to add to their Christmas displays.
40866 Santa’s Holiday Sleigh Adventure
Next up is 40866 Santa’s Holiday Sleigh Adventure, a 187-piece set priced at US$29.99 / SGD$45.90
The set features Santa and Mrs. Claus, three reindeer and a gift-filled sleigh. Builders can attach two adult reindeer to the sleigh while Mrs. Claus looks after the baby reindeer and feeds it a carrot.
At around 25cm long, the sleigh is designed both as a playset and as seasonal decoration. LEGO also suggests incorporating it into a larger Christmas or holiday village display.
40874 Santa’s Holiday Countdown
One of the more unusual additions is 40874 Santa’s Holiday Countdown.
With 873 pieces and a price of US$59.99 / SGD$89.90, the set provides a large festive display piece designed around the excitement of counting down to Christmas.
The set is particularly interesting for families because it combines a Christmas decoration with an interactive countdown concept, giving builders something to bring out each holiday season.
40875 Up-Scaled Mrs. Claus Minifigure
For something a little different, LEGO is taking one of its most recognisable Christmas characters and making her six times the size of a traditional minifigure.
The 904-piece 40875 Up-Scaled Mrs. Claus Minifigure stands approximately 25cm high and features a posable head, arms and hands. Her classic red dress, white hair and cheerful expression make her an ideal piece of Christmas décor.
Priced at US$59.99 / SGD$89.90, this is likely to appeal particularly to LEGO fans who enjoy large-scale brick-built characters.
A Festive Collection With Something for Everyone
The 2026 Christmas collection covers quite a broad range of LEGO building experiences.
For younger builders and families, 40862 provides an inexpensive way to create Christmas decorations, while 40866 offers a more traditional Santa and reindeer adventure. Meanwhile, 40874 and 40875 provide larger seasonal display pieces.
For movie fans, 40865 Buddy the Elf adds a touch of Christmas pop culture to the collection.
All five sets are scheduled to arrive on 1 October 2026, giving LEGO fans plenty of time to prepare their Christmas displays
