August 21, 2022 | 12

September is only days away, which means that the new 2022 Winter and Christmas seasonal will become available in Australia, the UK and Europe, so here’s a guide to everything that’s coming up!

Note: these Seasonal sets will be released in North America on 1 October 2022, a month later than Europe and Australia.

This year, there are 3 small-ish seasonal Winter sets, as well as a Duplo set to kick off LEGO’s Winter holiday selection. Here are the sets and regional pricing and product pages.

• 40573 Christmas Tree – US$44.99 / AU$79.99 / £34.99 / €39.99 / CAD$44.99
• 40572 Penguin & Snowflake – US$9.99 / AU$15.99 / £8.99 / €9.99 / CAD$12.99
• 40571 Wintertime Polar Bears – US$12.99 / AU$19.99 / £11.99 / €12.99 / CAD$TBD
• Duplo 10976 Santa’s Gingerbread House – US$34.99 / AU$59.99 / £29.99 / €12.99 / CAD$TBD

Check out more images of each set further down the post!

Of course, there should also be the 2022 LEGO Winter Village set (under the LEGO Icons theme) that fans are are all looking forward to seeing. There isn’t a release date yet BUT last year’s 10293 Santa’s Visit was announced in early September so I’d say expect sometime in September.

Of course, September also marks the launch of the 2022 LEGO Advent Calendar sets, which should also be considered Christmas/Seasonal sets. The Advent Calendars will be released on 1 September 2022, and this year, we have City, Friends, Harry Potter, Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy!

• 60352 LEGO City Advent Calendar – US$34.99 / AU$59.99 / £21.99 / CAD$44.99
• 41706 LEGO Friends Advent Calendar – US$34.99 / AU$59.99 / £21.99 / CAD$44.99
• 76404 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar – US$44.99 / AU$59.99 / £29.99 / CAD$59.99
• 75340 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar – US$44.99 / AU$59.99 / £29.99 / CAD$59.99
• 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar – US$44.99 / AU$59.99 / £29.99 / CAD$59.99

Update: The 2022 LEGO Advent Calendars are also available on Amazon.com – Star Wars / Guardians of the Galaxy / City / Harry Potter / Friends

Another addition that I think falls into this year’s LEGO Winter/Seasonal collection are these 5 minifigures from LEGO Minifigures Series 23 – which has an entire Christmas/Winter sub-group within the 12 character set.

If you want to get into a festive mood, you’ll need the Nutcracker, Sugar Plum Fairy, Holiday Elf, Snowman and Reindeer Costume!

To see more of Series 23, be sure to check out my full review!

And yes, I can confirm that these 5 minifigures are delightful additions to your LEGO Winter Village!

40573 Christmas Tree

Buy from LEGO.com – US$44.99 / AU$79.99 / £34.99 / €39.99 / CAD$44.99

The most interesting set out of the selection is 40573 Christmas Tree, which has 2 models in one, allowing you to create a large tree or a smaller version.

It’s an excellent looking set, and works as a small ornamental Christmas Tree decoration, or as a Christmas tree for your minifigures/LEGO Winter village. There are plenty of decorative options, from hearts, to baubles to candles to personalise it.

I’ll definitely pick one up at launch and I expect this one to be quite popular, especially for gifts.

The taller tree stands over 11 in. (30 cm) tall and the medium tree stands over 9 in. (23 cm) tall.

40572 Penguin & Snowflake

Buy from LEGO.com- US$9.99 / AU$15.99 / £8.99 / €9.99 / CAD$12.99

For your real Christmas tree, 40572 Penguin & Snowflake is this year’s buildable LEGO ornament, with a cute Penguin and Snowflake that you can build and hang.

These are fairly inexpensive and small sets, and also make fun stocking stuffers or Secret Santa gifts!

40571 Wintertime Polar Bears

Buy from LEGO.com – US$12.99 / AU$19.99 / £11.99 / €12.99 / CAD$TBD

40571 Wintertime Polar Bears is likely to be this year’s final Seasonal buildable animal set, joining 40570 Halloween Cat & Mouse, 40522 Valentine’s Lovebirds, 40523 Easter Rabbits Display.

2022’s LEGO Seasonal collection has revolved around these cute buildable animals for each Season and Holiday, and the Polar Bears are especially cute. I love the tiny Christmas tree, and generous helping of mint tiles and slopes for the base!

Duplo 10976 Santa’s Gingerbread House

Buy from LEGO.com – US$34.99 / AU$59.99 / £29.99 / €12.99 / CAD$TBD

Last but not least is Duplo 10976 Santa’s Gingerbread House, for little builders. You get to assemble a cute Gingerbread House, and you get a Santa Duplo figure, as well as plenty of festive food and accessories.

As someone with young kids, I’m very looking forward to picking this one up too.

We rarely get seasonal Christmas Duplo sets, with the last time being 10837 Santa’s Winter Holiday.

This is a short overview of all of LEGO’s Seasonal Winter/Christmas sets for 2022. Of course, we’re all waiting for the unveiling of this year’s Winter Village set, which should be the final piece of the puzzle!

Do any of these Seasonal sets grab your attention? Which ones are you planning to pick up?
