2024 LEGO Christmas & Holiday Sets Gifts

Gifts for teenage boys

LOVE that distinctive and super-satisfying sound when kids shake their wrapped gift, and then race to tear off the paper to see which LEGO® set they’ve got! Of course, LEGO® toys make amazing gifts for every occasion, but we’ve collected a can’t-miss list of festive sets for the run-up to the holiday AND for gift giving! We’ve got LEGO® Advent calendars from some fan favourite themes and series to help build that excitement for the big day. We’ve got challenging LEGO® Christmas decorations – leaning into the trend for botanical sets for grownups –​ to help create a holiday look for your home, classroom, or office. (Pro tip: These are terrific gifts for builders whose faith traditions are less Santa-centric.) We’ve also got LEGO® Christmas ornaments that kids (and grownups!) can customize and give as meaningful gifts or remake year after year for your family tree or other decorating. We also have some LEGO® gifts with a more general seasonal theme: play sets with snowy outdoor elements and winter expansion toys to add even more excitement to kids’ existing LEGO® collections. Shoppers will find lots of excellent gift options online for having a LEGO® holiday. Main street shops have only so much space, after all, so web shopping can be a great way to explore all LEGO® Christmas sets and lots of toys beyond the season! Here are our picks for the best Christmas LEGO® toys and sets to thrill the builders of all ages on your shopping list.
