LEGO fans know the holiday season wouldn’t be complete without some festive sets to celebrate, and this year, LEGO is pulling out all the stops! As early as September, we’ve seen the release of LEGO’s seasonal lineup, including six new brick-built advent calendars packed with surprises. Now, with December just around the corner, LEGO has a new addition up its sleeve—a charming promotional set: the LEGO Creator 40700 Christmas Train Gift With Purchase (GWP). Slated for a December 1st release, this set promises to be a fun, collectible way to kick off the final stretch of the holiday season.
Meet the Christmas Train GWP: Festive Details and Classic Charm
Set number 40700, the Christmas Train GWP, is a 294-piece LEGO Creator set that will likely be available with purchases above a certain threshold — rumored to be around $120-$150 / €120-€120 / £110-£110. While details on the exact spending requirement aren’t confirmed, it’s a good bet this promotion will span the first two weeks of December, giving holiday shoppers the perfect opportunity to add this exclusive item to their collection.
Designed as a festive centerpiece, this train is an homage to LEGO's previous Christmas-themed GWPs, like the popular 40138 Christmas Train from 2018. This new model is slightly larger, with more pieces and intricate holiday details that bring the holiday spirit to life. However, just like the earlier model, this train isn’t designed for standard LEGO train tracks. Instead, it’s a charming, standalone display in a scaled-down, microscale format, making it an ideal decorative piece for any holiday setup.
A Festive Color Palette with Seasonal Flourishes
The Christmas Train features a color scheme that’s instantly recognizable and festive. With shades of green and black, the locomotive and its two carriages are adorned with holiday elements. Expect little touches like candy canes, miniature presents, and perhaps even a tiny Christmas tree, enhancing its holiday appeal. Fans of previous holiday GWPs will appreciate how these thoughtful, nostalgic details tie this set into LEGO’s tradition of festive releases.
