The most magical LEGO® sets for the festive season!

The best family activities for the holidays sprinkle a little fairy dust on the festive season! Here are our top magical LEGO® sets to build together this year…

Without a doubt, Christmas is the most magical time of the year. Just imagine the sparkling lights in the streets, glittering decorations on the tree and the warming sound of carols drifting in the air… the festive season can be pure magic for the kids (and adults too!).

We all have our special family traditions that we do every year, like settling in to watch our favorite seasonal movies or baking holiday cookies and trying to stop the kids eating all the dough before they go in the oven… But what if there was a way to add an extra sprinkle of magic this year?

Add to your family holiday activities this year with magical LEGO sets that you can build together! Thanks to the Build Together function in the LEGO Builder app, no one misses out on the magic, and it can be a great festive bonding experience for the whole family!

Magical holiday mischief

One of our favorite family holiday activities is snuggling up and watching the Harry Potter™ movies. So, what better way to recreate the magic of your favorite characters than with a selection of the best LEGO Harry Potter sets for the festive season?

From a magical shopping trip to Quality Quidditch™ Supplies & Ice Cream Parlour (76452) in Diagon Alley™, to the enchanting Hogwarts™ Castle: The Main Tower (76454), these LEGO sets let you and your family step right into the Wizarding World.

And if the holiday cheer starts to feel a little too merry, there’s a darker corner of the Wizarding World waiting for you. No holiday wreaths on the door here, and definitely no carolers singing on the porch. Malfoy Manor (76453), home to the Malfoy family and the ominous headquarters of You-Know-Who, invites you to relive exciting scenes from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™. Because sometimes, between gingerbread and gift wrapping, it’s fun to summon a little magical mischief instead.

Whether you’re building laughter, love or a little mischief, these sets are your family’s ticket into the Wizarding World and the perfect way to add extra magic to the holiday season.

Disney holiday magic

We’re sure you’ll agree, one of the loveliest things to do as a family during the merry season is to sit back, get cozy, flick on the holiday lights and watch a Disney movie together! So, for a festive activity, why not get stuck into a LEGO build based on a family-favorite Disney film? 

For all the LEGO | Disney Princess fans, the LEGO | Disney Princess Castle & Royal Pets (43267) is a great family build that offers kids endless role-play fun. With 10 minifigures to choose from, including Ariel, Flounder, Mulan, Mushu, Moana, Pua and more, you can pick your favorite characters and discover the magical elements of the castle together. Just wait until you see the cute pets. They’re absolutely adorable!   To celebrate your completed builds, you could tune into a family viewing of your favorite Disney princess movie to watch together during the holidays!

Fun for the whole family

To wrap up our list of top magical LEGO sets, we’re finishing with something perfect for families looking for fantastical adventures. The LEGO Creator 3in1 Unicorn Castle (31175) offers three times the fun in one enchanting set! Together, you can piece together a colorful fantasy world and enjoy endless hours of play as you build the stunning unicorn castle with four towers, a whimsical unicorn ship with a rainbow sail or a magical forest cabin complete with a playground area.

It’s the perfect blend of LEGO building and family quality time, making it tons of festive fun. So, gather everyone around the table and build the magic!

Fly us to the Moon

Some of the best LEGO sets for the holidays think outside the box – or maybe outside the planet? Bring some intergalactic magic to your festive celebrations with the LEGO Creator 3in1 Space Roller Coaster (31142), an out-of-this-world combination of space and amusement parks!

As well as a roller coaster fit for any space or ride enthusiast, this set brings 3-in-1 fun with the option to build a space drop tower or space carousel. And what’s more magical than jetting through the stars together on your very own space coaster?
