Let's be frank: we're all spending a lot more time indoors these days, between teleworking which has increased, and temperatures which are dropping. And with the PS5 and Xbox Series X, …Read more

So, what does this new collection have in store? Let's enter together into the world of these Christmas essentials, designed to awaken our creativity and, who knows, perhaps trigger some beautiful family traditions around bricks.

New LEGO products for Christmas 2024: varied worlds for all tastes

This year, LEGO is offering us a Christmas collection where each set seems to have been designed to resonate with the spirit of the holidays, without falling into cliché. As for winter decorations, the LEGO Icons Santa's Post Office (10339) distinguishes itself.

Here, it's all in the details: a small sorting center where children's letters pile up, a beautifully decorated tree and even a coffee machine so the elves can keep up. It's these little touches of realism, almost mischievous, that bring the whole thing to life and make it a charming choice for those who love the cozy atmosphere of Christmas.

And then, there are the smaller sets, which bring a discreet but equally pleasant touch. THE LEGO Seasonal Santa's Delivery Truck (40746), for example, plays with classic codes with a dapper van ready to deliver gifts.

As for the Christmas table decoration (40743) and Tree decorations (40744), they offer a way to slip a LEGO touch into your interior, without overdoing it. It's a bit as if LEGO invited us to sprinkle little festive touches where we least expect them.

LEGO Advent calendars: every day, a surprise

LEGO has mastered the art of the Advent calendar, and this year again, the themes are both varied and carefully chosen. For 2024, LEGO is offering everyone the opportunity to start December with a little daily ritual where, behind each box, there is a surprise. There are mini-figures, small constructions, and even a few discreet nods for connoisseurs of the worlds represented.

For lovers of distant galaxies, the calendar LEGO Star Wars returns with its share of iconic characters and micro-ships, while the LEGO Harry Potter reserves small objects that will recall scenes from Hogwarts, adding a touch of magic to the month of December. On the superhero side, the LEGO Marvel features some of fan favorite characters in new and charming versions.

Finally, calendars LEGO Friends et LEGO City are aimed at young people with revisited everyday scenes. Little surprises that allow children to recreate, little by little, their own miniature universe.

Automotive focus: fascinating lines for racing fans

In this Christmas collection, fans of speed and mechanical precision are not left out. Among the new features, the LEGO McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna and the LEGO Technic Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance Pull-Back stand out for their realism and attention to detail. These two models pay homage to the legendary Formula 1 vehicles while offering real assembly pleasure, whether you are a Senna fan or simply a fan of careful construction.

With the LEGO McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton SennaLEGO offers us a faithful replica of the car driven by Senna in 1988, a year of all records. The set, detailed but accessible, uses classic Formula 1 elements – profiled tires, sleek cockpit and adjustable rear wing – to recreate the spirit of that era.

This model will appeal to fans of F1 history, but also to those who like refined, almost raw constructions.

As for the LEGO Technic Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance Pull-Backit's another kind of challenge: here, LEGO is betting on interactivity with a retro-friction system which allows the model to be propelled once assembled.

This set is designed for those who love movement and play, with quick but precise assembly, ideal for younger F1 fans or those who prefer construction without too much complexity. We actually had the opportunity to ride it as a family!
