Can you believe the holiday season is already here? With Thanksgiving tomorrow, we know that you will be spending time with your family, eating great food, and building with LEGO! There are so many fun activities coming up this weekend. We think there is no better way to spend Thanksgiving than building with LEGO bricks together. In this post we will look at our picks for the best LEGO sets to build with your family on Thanksgiving.
Before we dive into the list, let’s review all of the LEGO events for tomorrow and the weekend. On Thanksgiving Day, don’t miss the LEGO Brick-Changer float that will appear in the The 95th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Even now, you can take a look at some great early Black Friday Deals at Amazon on LEGO sets. Furthermore, LEGO Black Friday 2021 is coming 11/26-11/29! And finally, the LEGO Holiday Truck is on the move and might be coming to a city near you this holiday season.
Now, we will look at some great LEGO sets to build with together on Thanksgiving.
Build To Give
While not an official LEGO set, the LEGO Group has provided instructions on how to build a LEGO star for their #BuildToGive campaign. Families can follow these instructions and modify them, or come up with their own designs. By building a star together and sharing it on social media using the hashtag #BuildToGive, the LEGO Group will donate a LEGO set to a child in need. What an amazing activity to do on Thanksgiving together! Check out the LEGO instructions below for inspiration.
LEGO BrickHeadz 40273 Thanksgiving Turkey
It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a brick-built LEGO Turkey! This set is now retired, but is super cute and would look great as a Thanksgiving table decoration. It features a detachable carrot, buildable garden scene, and pumpkin. Additionally, the baseplate comes with a really cool seasonal calendar. Combine it with other popular BrickHeadz character sets for even more fun!
LEGO 40261 Thanksgiving Harvest
As a 2017 holiday seasonal set, it is now retired, but is one of our favorites for Thanksgiving. It features a harvest setting, two minifigure characters, a Thanksgiving turkey, carriage, bird, scarecrow, and an autumn tree. The buildable vegetable garden and fall accessories are so cute!
LEGO Creator Expert 10292 The Friends Apartments
It is not officially classified as a Thanksgiving set, but The Friends Apartments definitely could be! Check out what is on Monica’s kitchen table: nothing other than a Thanksgiving turkey!
Rebuild season 5, episode 8 “The One With All The Thanksgivings” from Friends! The Thanksgiving turkey ended up on both Joey and Monica’s heads in this episode. This would be a really fun build to play out on Thanksgiving Day.
We hope that LEGO is a part of your Thanksgiving traditions as it is with ours! What LEGO sets do you like to build during the holiday season? Let us know in the comments!
