LEGO SET 10293 - Alternate build | Santa's Visit
Reinventing LEGO Santa’s Visit: 7 Festive Alternate Builds to Spark Your Creativity
From the moment snowflakes drift lazily onto rooftops and the glow of lanterns dances across frost-kissed windows, LEGO® Set 10293-1 Santa’s Visit transports us into a world of cozy wonder. Picture a timeless village square: miniature townsfolk greeting Saint Nick as his sleigh touches down beside wooden stalls, each draped in garlands of holly and tiny twinkling lights. Under the soft shimmer of a star-filled sky, children press eager faces against frosted glass, marveling at the gentle reindeer and the promise of gifts. The original set captures the essence of yuletide joy, balancing nostalgic charm with playful details—from the delicate snow-covered roof to the festive wreath hanging above the door.
Yet within every brick lies untapped potential. The warm reds and deep greens of Santa’s Visit can be reimagined into seaside cottages, fairytale bakeries, or even a bustling toy workshop hidden in a snow-capped forest. What if the jolly abode became a Victorian bookshop on a wintry lane? Or transformed into an alpine ski lodge with minislope and lift? By deconstructing its iconic elements—arched windows, sloped roofs, and textured chimneys—you gain a palette of parts ready to conjure entirely new scenes. The possibilities extend beyond purely seasonal builds: swap snow for moss-covered stones to craft an ancient woodland shrine, or adapt the festive façade into a charming seaside villa with pastel shutters.
In this article, we explore seven remarkable alternate builds created by talented designers using only the bricks from Santa’s Visit (and, in some cases, minimal additional sets). From quaint holiday homes to whimsical storefronts, each model demonstrates how imagination can turn familiar parts into fresh narratives. Whether you’re seeking a cozy corner to display in December or a year-round vignette that celebrates craftsmanship, these MOCs offer inspiration—and instructions—to bring your next project to life.
