The well-visited LEGO Winter Village sets post is updated for 2024…

It’s that time of year again… it’s time to pull out your LEGO Holiday sets! Are you like us, pulling out your sets just after Halloween? We like to do that so we can enjoy them for longer periods of time. Just doesn’t seem as fun to display them for a month…

Now, without further ado… Here is Part 1 of The Ultimate List of LEGO Holiday Sets!

For us, it’s the time of the year we like to bring home a little holiday cheer. That is, of course, how our LEGO winter village started. We have probably looked at almost all the possible LEGO sets for a holiday scene. Since you’re most likely a LEGO lover, we thought we’d share with you what we like to call The Ultimate List of LEGO Holiday Sets!

The original post I wrote was long and image intensive. So much so, I finally had to break it into parts in order to make sure I didn’t miss anything. It also has affiliate links to Amazon and LEGO Shop@Home which help us keep this site running, at no additional cost to you.

We have many of the following LEGO sets in our Winter Village MOC and therefore we highly recommend these. (Swing on over to our Winter Village MOC blog post to see most of them in action.)

The others we don’t have are either because:

a – they were released as promos in previous years when we weren’t collecting, or
b – they just didn’t go well with our village, or
c – we’ve bought them, but simply don’t have enough space for them in our MOC at this moment.

This doesn’t mean they aren’t worth collecting or adding to your build… just that we don’t have them.

Finally, while I did call this The Ultimate List of LEGO Holiday Sets, I’m sure to have missed a few here or there. Hopefully, instead of flaming me, you’ll just leave me a kind comment about the missing set below.

LEGO Winter Village Sets

We’re going to start by focusing on  the LEGO Winter Village sets. These will most likely be the bread and butter of your holiday decorations. With lots of festive details, you’ll find you’ll really enjoy these sets as the basis of a winter village…hence the name.

LEGO Santa’s Post Office (10339)

This year, we have a fun new addition to the winter village which goes well with all the previously released Santa and Elf themed winter village sets from over the years. The LEGO Icons Santa’s Post Office (10339) set cleverly revisits the 2011 postal theme with a magical twist.

The hot-air balloon with its light-up feature is a standout. Adding a touch of whimsy are interactive elements like the letter chute and sorter to enhance playability. It’s a substantial addition to the Winter Village, balancing nostalgia with fresh ideas.

LEGO Alpine Lodge (10325)

The 2023 set, the LEGO Alpine Lodge (10325), has been a long time coming! We’ve had a bakery and a toy shop and even a fire station! And while we’ve had a cottage, this is the first lodge! It has a glowing log fire (courtesy of a light brick), an outdoor skating rink and even an outhouse! Plenty of play opportunities with the cozy loft area, sharing hot chocolate by the fire, and exchanging gifts by the decorated Christmas tree. We can’t wait to add this one to our village!

LEGO Holiday Main Street (10308)

The 2022 winter village release was the LEGO Holiday Main Street (10308) set. This set came with a great trolley build and some lovely storefronts with Christmas decoration ideas. While it didn’t seem to fit the existing Winter Village theme, it was a great addition if your village is built more in a LEGO City style.

LEGO Santa’s Visit (10293)

The 2021 release for the winter village line was the LEGO Santa’s Visit (10293) set. Insanely adorable, with a minifigure that sports my daily updo, this set has a lot of great details. From the decoration bells to the snow covered windows, it is one worth adding to your village.

LEGO Elf Club House (10275)

The 2020 release for the winter village line was the LEGO Elf Club House (10275). This was the set everyone impatiently waited for all year! With 4 elves and an awesome molded reindeer… not to mention, so many cute details, this set flew off the shelves just for the added parts!

LEGO Gingerbread House (10267)

The insanely cute 2019 set was the LEGO Gingerbread House (10267). This is an amazing build we had tons of fun building and integrating into our winter village MOC. If you want to add even more fun and whimsy to your winter village, do not skip this set! You can also pick it up on Amazon.com.

LEGO Winter Village Fire Station (10263)

Released in 2018, the LEGO Winter Village Fire Station (10263) is an uncharacteristic addition to the winter village theme that is still sure to delight kids and adults alike. Not in the same style as the other buildings, we have yet to build it to add to our setup. However, that shouldn’t stop you if you want to check it out. It’s marked as retired on Shop@Home, but you should be able to pick it up on Amazon.com.

LEGO Winter Village Station (10259)

To accompany the LEGO Winter Holiday Train Set from the previous year, LEGO released the LEGO Winter Village Station in 2017. You even get a little extra track and a train crossing for the decorated bus that comes with it! This is a super cute set you can still pick up on Amazon.

LEGO Winter Holiday Train Set (10254)

This is the train LEGO Winter Village fans have been waiting for! Released in 2016, the LEGO Winter Holiday Train is an exciting collection of festive Christmas elements decorating this Power Functions enable-able train! If you’re looking to add some movement to your LEGO Winter Village, check out our review of on how to power the LEGO Winter Holiday Train.

This one is worth adding to your Winter Village layout!

LEGO Winter Village Toy Shop (10249)

This set was released in 2015. This is actually a re-release of one of the original winter village sets, the LEGO Creator Winter Village Toy Shop (10199) from 2009 with some new pieces. I wrote about the re-release in another blog post, but either way, this is one of those sets you will want in your winter village or for your Christmas decorations. The LEGO Creator Winter Village Toy Shop (10249) is available on Amazon.

LEGO Creator Santa’s Workshop (10245)

This set was released in 2014. Ours is at the top of our winter village display and we have Santa flying off of our mountain. (That really looks more fun than it sounds.) The LEGO Creator Santa’s Workshop can be found on Amazon.com.

LEGO Winter Village Market (10235)

We use this one towards the front of our winter village display. This set was retired in 2014, but is a great addition to any holiday decoration setup. You can purchase the LEGO Winter Village Market on Amazon.com.

LEGO Winter Village Cottage (10229)

A nice addition to the winter village setup, this will be the largest building you have in your displays. This set was retired in 2013, but you can still find the LEGO Winter Village Cottage on Amazon.com.

LEGO Creator Holiday Bakery (10216)

This is one of our favorite LEGO holiday sets. We set it up with a little girl minifigure pressing her face up against the window. While this set is retired, you can still purchase the LEGO Creator Holiday Bakery on Amazon.com.

LEGO Winter Village Post Office (10222)

The LEGO Winter Village Post Office was released in 2011. An excellent addition to your winter village, as every village needs a post office. This set is retired and therefore no longer sold on Shop@Home, but you can still find it on Amazon.com.

LEGO Make & Create Holiday Train (10173)

This train is the one that started the obsessive search for the holiday train. We choose to create a holiday train based on the LEGO Hogwart’s Express train, because this one was just way too expensive. However, if you find you can swing the moola for this train (or you just want something different than the new LEGO Winter Holiday Train above, you can pick this one up on Amazon.

While I did say this was a complete list, I may have missed one here or there. What other sets would you add to make this list of ultimate LEGO holiday sets complete?
