Each year, I work on keeping my older blog post series, The Ultimate List of LEGO Holiday Sets, updated with all the new sets that have come out for the year. With this notice, you can continue reading on as this post has been updated for 2023.
For today’s list, we’ll be looking at sets useful for filling out a winter village layout. While the theme sets in the first post are great for starting out your village, you’ll still need some additional pieces to fill out streets and other areas. This is where these sets come in handy.
Winter Village Filler Sets
LEGO Holiday Ski Slope and Café (41756)
The colors may not match everything that was previously released for the LEGO Winter Village theme, but with a few swaps, you can add a cute extra build to your winter village display with this LEGO Holiday Ski Slope and Café (41756) set.
Released in 2023, you can find this set on Shop@Home.
LEGO Creator Snowman (30645)
New for 2023, LEGO released the adorable LEGO Creator Snowman polybag. With a red cap, blue scarf and sweet pink cheeks, this is a super cute addition to any winter village setup.
You can find this set in your local Target or Walmart or you can purchase this set on Amazon.
LEGO Arctic Explorer Snowmobile (60376)
For 2023, LEGO released the LEGO Arctic Explorer Snowmobile (60376), which comes with a seal, pup and a female minifigure with snowmobile. You know you want to add a seal pup to your winter village display.

LEGO Christmas Tree (40573)
Get into the festive spirit with the LEGO Christmas Tree (40573) set! Released in 2022, you can craft a majestic 11-inch tree (Rockefeller center, anyone?) or opt to create two smaller versions at 9 and 6 inches each. The trees come decorated with colorful ornaments and candles and can be topped off with a bright yellow star. With the freedom to build one tree or two smaller ones, it’s a perfect piece to bring cheer to your winter village display!
You can pick this set up on Shop@Home.
LEGO Winter Elves Scene (40564) on Amazon
Step into the enchanting world of holiday cheer with the delightful LEGO Winter Elves Scene (40564) from 2022. This captivating display features a charming skating rink where two lively elf minifigures gracefully glide across the ice while a squirrel figure adds a touch of woodland whimsy. This was the first of 2 gift with purchase special sets for this year. It was available with a purchase of $170 or more.
As it was a GWP, this set can now be found on Amazon.
LEGO Santa’s Sleigh (40499)
New in 2022, you can usher in the holiday spirit with the enchanting LEGO Santa’s Sleigh (40499)! With this set, you will assemble Santa’s iconic sleigh, complete with four adorable reindeer figures sporting removable, beautifully decorated saddles. In the sleigh, you can find Santa’s sack loaded with goodies like a guitar, skis, and a cuddly teddy bear.
Still available at Shop@Home, you should grab this set today!
LEGO Ice Skating Rink (40416)
2020 was the year it we finally received a gift with purchase that came with some motion! Meet the exclusive rotating Ice Rink featuring a booth and two minifigure skaters wearing… at that time… never-seen-before winter sweaters! For this set, you had to shell out at least $150 to bring it home, but it was too cute to pass up!
LEGO Winter Snowball Fight (40424)
If you’re just getting into building winter village, this is a great set. Released in 2020, you’ll get 2 minifigures in winter clothing, a snowman, snow catapult and a slope with snowmobile. The best part of this set is the skis and ski poles, along with the husky. Skis, poles and huskies can sometimes be hard to find, so definitely great that they’re in a readily available set.
You can pick this set up from Amazon.com.
LEGO Xtra Xmas Accessories (40368)
Have you ever wanted just a few more items to add accents to your winter village? LEGO thought of that and created a polybag just for you! This set comes with 2 gold fancy flourish fences, a husky, a snowman, snow shoes, cap, tree, 2 gifts and more.
You can pick this set up on Amazon.com.
LEGO Gingerbread House (40337)
If you spent any time building the minifigure scale LEGO Gingerbread House (10267), you’re probably hoping to get your hands on the micro-scale version of the set, too! Released in 2019 as a free promo with qualifying purchase, we haven’t picked it up yet, since we have to figure out what we can buy now for another $99 to qualify for the free promotional set… maybe some more minifigures!
Not on Amazon, but give it until later and you may find a few sets there.
LEGO Christmas Tree (40338)
Definitely one of my favorite promos so far, we picked this one up during the 2019 Black Friday sale. Not immediately noticeable from the image, if you turn the top of the tree, the train will also rotate underneath the tree.
If you missed this one, you’ll definitely want to pick it up on Amazon.
LEGO Christmas Carousel (40293)
Set description:
Go around and around with the buildable Christmas Carousel, featuring a rotating decorated platform with a blue locomotive with 2 carriages and a buildable Christmas tree.
Released in 2018, this cute microscale carousel has some crank action associated with it. Turn the crank and the carousel moves around!
If we picked this one up, I don’t remember. If not, I’m definitely going to have to rebrick it. I have some plans for our display. You can pick up yours on Amazon.
LEGO Christmas Ornament (5004934)
Released in 2018 with qualifying purchases in LEGO stores, I distinctly remember skipping this promotional Christmas Ornament when we had the chance to purchase. A bit on the deceptive side, the only things you get in this set are the 2 minifigures, a few toys, the gift and the tree topper… nothing else. As we already had a ton of minifigure kids in our build, we decided to pass on it. If you want the set, you can find it on Amazon.
LEGO Arctic Exploration Team (60191)
Released in 2018, the set is part of the LEGO City Arctic subtheme, but fits in well with a winter village theme. With a snow-shoeing photographer documentiong some new amazing discovery, the set comes with 3 minifigures, a snowmobile and the coveted husky.
If you need this set… and who doesn’t, you can pick it up on Amazon!
LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Modular Winter Vacation (31080)
This is one of those sets, that while not an official Winter Village themed set, totally fits in with the winter theme. Released in 2018, the set comes with plenty of snowy details. It also has a super cute idea of a built in slope for the side of the house.
We had fun integrating this into our build. If you’d like to do the same, you can pick this one up on Amazon.

LEGO Christmas Tree (30186)
Small and sweet, this Christmas tree is a build with lots of details. As a Christmas polybag from 2013, you’ll have to check Amazon or eBay to get your hands on it. With only 51 pieces, this one is also one of those sets you can probably make from your own collection. You may only have issues finding a suitable tree topper, as the star is not an easily found part.
LEGO Christmas Set (3300014)
This set, released during the 2012 Brick Friday event, is an adorable one we wish we had in our village. I mean, who doesn’t want a horse-drawn carriage in their village?
If you don’t have this one, you can pick it up on Amazon.
LEGO Christmas Train (40034)
The LEGO Christmas Train is a nice set to use to create an area for kids to get their photos taken with Santa Claus. This set was out in 2012, however, the pieces are fairly common. If you don’t pick it up from Amazon.com, you can probably make it from your own sets.
LEGO Christmas Tree (40024)
Set description:
Rock around the blocks with a LEGO® Christmas Tree!
Not much of a description for this 2011 seasonal polybag, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth picking up! As you can see, there aren’t very many specialty parts, but if you want a sealed bag for your collection, you should be able to find one on Amazon.
