We’re down to the last ten days of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) and hopefully we’ll be seeing some exciting builds as we count down to the final days. For today’s build, we have a good looking lamppost that honestly could be used in your Winter Village layout. There’s nothing much to it as the lamppost sits on top of a 2×2 jumper plate. There’s also a couple of wreaths for decoration as well.

There’s no price point or release date but I assume it’ll be $9.99 and be available at the beginning of the year.
Next up on the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) is another build that may not look like it fits with the holiday but a little closer look may say otherwise. For today, the build is a lighthouse on a beach area. The lighthouse itself is red and white and topped off with a black dish. As for how the build fits in with Christmas, it could be used to represent the lighthouse in the second stave of A Christmas Carol.
