3 Holiday Display Tips for LEGO® Sets

Once you’ve chosen the perfect holiday LEGO® sets and created the perfect custom case,  the next step is to figure out how to display it for the most impact. Incorporating festive décor around your LEGO® builds can elevate and transform them into beautiful holiday centerpieces.

1. Incorporate Garland: 

For a festive touch, drape garland around your LEGO® display, placing it around the base of your Winter Village or stringing it along a bookshelf of LEGO® displays. Choose a garland with lights or subtle glitter to reflect the glow of your holiday decorations.

2. Create a Wrapping Paper Backdrop:

If you’re looking for a simple yet effective way to frame your LEGO® sets, try using holiday wrapping paper as a backdrop. Choose a design that complements your LEGO® build, whether it’s snowflakes for your Winter Village or a space theme for a Star Wars set. Wrapping paper backdrops are easy to set up and create a clean, festive background that highlights your holiday LEGO® displays.

3. Hang Mistletoe Over the Displays:

Hanging mistletoe above your LEGO® display area adds romance. This small but meaningful decoration can draw attention to your LEGO® set and make it feel like part of the larger holiday décor.
