LEGO® Christmas Tree

Description

A tree for the windowsill

A little Christmas model like this one is finished in about a quarter of an hour, takes hardly any space and is easy to give as a present. The tree is made of 65 pieces, so it is far smaller than an advent calendar or a winter-market set. Because it is so compact it fits on any windowsill, next to a computer or on a dinner table. Plenty of people rebuild it every year, since unpacking it has become part of the season.

Green with red and bright accents

Green is the main colour, naturally, with red, black and lime alongside. Red supplies the baubles, black the base, and lime acts as a lighter glow between the darker branches. The ratio of 65 pieces to just 18 different part types stands out: many bricks are identical, which makes sense for a tree whose tiers repeat. That keeps the build easy to follow and the parts list short. If you want a bigger tree, you can simply carry on the same tiers with your own bricks and stand several sizes side by side.

Decoration that can change

No minifigure comes with the set, but you can place the tree in winter scenes of your own. Put it beside a house, in a market square or in a snowy landscape made of white plates. If you like, rebuild it: the red parts make presents, and the green ones might become a second, smaller tree, so that one set grows into a whole little group. White bricks as snow and a small fence quickly make a front garden that you can rearrange every year.

Parts after the holidays

The full parts list for all 65 pieces appears further down. If you already own the set, the “What can I build?” tool helps you decide what to do with the bricks once the festive season is over. Green and red standard parts are useful in gardens, forests and vehicles all year round, so nothing needs to disappear back into the box. Green is in demand for landscapes, hedges and vehicles, and the small red parts make details such as tail lights, flowers or berries.
