Toy soldier figures are a mainstay of Disney theme park decorations at this time of year. Koen has built a wonderful LEGO version, with great shaping and brilliant attention to detail. The hat is fabulous, and the nicely-done face captures the character well. I particularly like the rosy cheeks and pointed pink nose. And that angled hat brim is excellent.

So what does Santa do before he has to deliver all those presents? He takes a break in the sun of course. yu chris‘ LEGO scene uses parts to great effect, building at a larger scale than you might first think. The bushy beard built from angel wings is a particular highlight, but the furniture and surf-board are nicely-done too. One detail which really caught my eye was the blue glass on the table — so simple, made of only three pieces, yet perfect at this scale. I hope Santa’s enjoying his drink, and his short getaway — he’s going to have plenty of work to do in the next few weeks.

If you’re in a hurry to get your Christmas tree, then a hot rod flat-bed makes for the fastest delivery. Sanel Lukovic‘s snowy scene shows a LEGO woodsman making use of a somewhat unconventional vehicle for fetching his festive fir. The trees themselves are nicely composed from flower stalk parts, and the snowdrifts to either side of the road create a sense of a larger snow-dusted world beyond the irregular edges of the diorama. But it’s the truck’s engine which steals the show: a smart construction full of imaginative parts use — crutches, pirate hooks, and welding equipment are amongst the silvery pieces used to create the engine’s pipework.

With it’s pile of beautifully-wrapped presents, and its gleaming white angel, Andrew JN‘s LEGO Christmas tree is sure to get those festive feelings flowing. Those tree branch pieces are sometimes not the easiest LEGO parts to work with, and ironically don’t always make for great tree designs. However, Andrew has used them to good effect here, and the smattering of Technic balls as baubles, coupled with the golden crowns creates a sweet seasonal scene.

The decorations on these LEGO gingerbread treats are strictly-speaking more “placed” than “built”, but it creates a mouthwatering image all the same. Cecilie Fritzvold‘s simple little arrangement is by no means the most complex LEGO model we’ve ever featured, but it’s a brilliant creation all the same. Those white claw parts are spot on as icing, and “boat stud” tiles have never looked tastier!

Every LEGO-loving home should have some brick-built decorations. Why not take inspiration from seb toutouille and build your own lovely little snow globe model? This is so sweet, with good use of unicorn horns and ice cream scoops to create snowy upper branches for the trees. The silver and gold microfigures add a nice touch of festive sparkle to proceedings too. I could just see this as a table decoration during Christmas dinner.
