Best Build Together sets to bring the family together this Christmas

Discover our five favorite sets for a festive LEGO® build your whole family will enjoy…

Gift-giving, delicious food, vibrant markets, twinkling lights… Christmas truly is the season to be jolly! And one of the most joyous things about Christmas? Family time, of course – uniting with your loved ones to share special moments, make memories and have lots of fun together. And here at The LEGO® Group, that’s exactly what we’re all about…

With Build Together, the new feature on the LEGO Builder app, it’s now easier than ever to get the whole family involved in heaps of creative playtime. That’s right – mum, dad, little sister, second cousin twice removed and even your great granddad can form part of your model-making dream team! Well, providing he’s not having a post-Christmas dinner snooze, that is.

So, with this in mind, we’ve selected our top five sets to bring the family together for a very merry building session! Up for taking a look? Then ho ho ho and away we go…

A family reunion

The perfect family-bonding build, the vibrant Family Reunion Celebration (80113) set immerses you in all kinds of festival fun as you piece together a traditional Chinese-style restaurant. But this isn’t just any old restaurant – it features a fancy dining room, rooftop terrace, lanterns, fireworks, dim sum street cart and lots more!

Once you’ve completed your model, have each family member choose their own LEGO character for an imaginative play session. What will go down in Chinatown?! Will the kids get cooking in the kitchen, while the parents dine on the terrace? Most importantly, who will belt out their favorite song on the karaoke machine?!

A sprinkle of magic!

Nothing sprinkles Christmas with an extra bit of magic quite like a fairytale. Comforting, age-old stories filled with excitement and fantasy – they’re loved by adults and kids alike! So, for a cozy family night in this festive season, why not opt for a fairytale-themed LEGO set, like Rapunzel’s Tower & The Snuggly Duckling (43241)?

This fantastical set lets you band together to build Rapunzel’s iconic tower, complete with a kitchen, fireplace and of course, Rapunzel’s art supplies! Then zip-line down for some merry music in the Snuggly Duckling Inn – just be careful the evil Mother Gothel doesn’t catch you!

Once you’ve finished your set, get cozy and hunker down with some Christmas-themed stories and fairytales. Cute!

Is it chilly in here?

Are you and your family up for an icy expedition? All wrapped up and ready to go? Then tuck into the LEGO Igloo Holiday Adventure (41760)!

This snowy set takes you on a trip to the mountains with LEGO Friends Aliya and Ella, where you’ll build a state-of-the-art igloo! How’s that for cool? After an action-packed day of sleigh rides, warm up your Minifigures (and yourselves) by the cozy campfire – and be sure to take a dip in the steam pool, too!

As you and your family get to building, take turns telling stories about your sleigh rides through the snow. Where will your adventure take you? What will you see in your winter wonderland?

Something smells good…

As we know, the true joys, and the real meaning of Christmas, lie in the time spent with our loved ones. But let’s be honest – the delicious food is a big perk, too! So, our next pick is a LEGO build that’s all about family-bonding and sharing – with some yummy grub thrown in for good measure!

The LEGO Friends Heartlake City Community Kitchen (41747) set lets you build a colorful kitchen filled with cooking utensils, top-notch appliances and fun food recipes! Then join LEGO siblings Leo and Alba as their grandmother shows them how to make all kinds of scrumptious meals. Just don’t forget to give their pet cat Churro some tasty treats, too!

As you build as a family, get your juices flowing by deciding on Christmas treats you can bake together. Mince pies and Christmas cookies are always a winner!

The only way is Up

We’re sure you’ll agree, one of the loveliest things to do as a family at Christmas is to sit back, get cozy, flick on the Christmas lights and watch a movie together! So, for a festive activity, why not get stuck into a LEGO build based on a family-favorite film - such as the LEGO ‘Up’ House (43217)…

With this super-colorful set, you’ll get to piece together the iconic house from Up, complete with four rooms, all kinds of gadgets and the much-loved Minifigure characters Russel, Carl and Dug the dog! Once the house is built, send the balloons up the chimney (check for Santa first, of course!) and then relive the movie magic and sky-high adventure.

To celebrate your completed model, you could tune into a family viewing of UP, or any movie you all love to watch together at Christmas!

There are so many exciting LEGO sets to choose from, all offering fun, creative play for the whole family to enjoy over Christmas – whether you’re visiting relatives, looking for an after-dinner activity, or simply having some holiday downtime.
