10 Inspiring LEGO Christmas Tree MOCs

Nothing says “holidays” in a LEGO city quite like a beautiful Christmas tree scene. Whether you’re building a cozy Winter Village square, a busy market stand, or a playful ride for kids, a good tree becomes the anchor that ties everything together—lights, gifts, photos, and all. For display builders, Christmas trees are a great laboratory for color, texture, and shape: tiled ornaments vs. studded snow, cone layering vs. angled branches, classic green vs. frosted white. Even small tabletop builds can feel magical with a clever topper and a sturdy base that drops straight into your city streets or MILS modules.

If you’re looking to design your own, start by choosing a silhouette. A tapered cone made from stacked rings is quick and reliable; “branchy” trees built with plates-with-clips and bars feel more organic; SNOTted wedge stacks read modern and sleek. Color blocking matters: dark green for depth, brighter green for highlights, and pops of red, gold, and trans colors to mimic ornaments and lights. Texture also sells the look—mix tiles for smooth ribbons, 1x1 rounds for baubles, and a dusting of white plates or slopes for fresh snow. Don’t forget the base: a simple 8×8 or 16×16 plinth with gifts, fences, and a bench will turn a tree into a full mini-scene.

Below you’ll find quick build tips, thematic ideas, and then a curated list of ready-to-build Christmas tree MOCs (with links). At the end, there’s a visual gallery—each card shows the model name, designer credit, an image (using Rebrickable’s CDN), and a “Get the instructions” link so you can jump right in. Happy building! 🎄


Build Tips (quick wins)

  • Pick a structure first: ring-stack cone (easy), hinge-and-clip branches (organic), or SNOT wedges (modern).

  • Lock the core: use a Technic spine or stacked round bricks/cones to keep tall trees sturdy.

  • Texture like a pro: alternate plates and tiles; use 1×1 rounds/flowers for ornaments; mix greens for depth.

  • Snow that reads on camera: stagger white cheese slopes and curved slopes on outer edges only.

  • Add life around it: gifts, a lamppost, vendor carts, benches, and a photo spot instantly elevate the scene.

  • Topper options: small star elements, 2×2 radar dish with bar, or micro-build snowflake.

  • Display-ready base: MILS or a simple tiled plinth (8×8 / 16×16) so the tree drops into any Winter Village block.

Ideas for Types of Christmas-Tree MOCs

  • Classic pine with ornaments and ribbon

  • Minimal modern tree (SNOT wedges / triangular silhouette)

  • Micro trees for desks or micro-cities

  • Frosted/white tree for snowy vibes

  • Tree-seller stands and caravans (market storytelling)

  • Ride/attraction (carousel or train circling the tree)

  • Town-square centerpiece with fences and photo backdrop

  • Gift-tower style “tree” built from wrapped presents

  • Nano trees for advent calendars or shelves

  • “Hero tree” with scene-specific details (choir, photographer, elves, etc.)
