Ahead of the Chinese New Year, The LEGO® Group has revealed two new Chinese Traditional Festival LEGO® sets to inspire families to discover the cultural heritage and stories behind the festive celebrations. Families can also look forward to mall events across two weekends in partnership with Astro and a special edition of the LEGO® Playdate on YouTube.
80108 LEGO® Lunar New Year Traditions celebrates six different activities of the festive occasion with six brick-built scenes packed with authentic details. These include Spring Festival Shopping, making auspicious decorations, visiting family and exchanging red packets. Each module corresponds to a set of Chinese New Year pictures to help children learn Chinese customs through play.
80109 LEGO® Lunar New Year Ice Festival shows the joyful scene of a Spring Festival Ice Skating Park where children celebrate the Chinese New Year with various winter activities in a beautiful ice and snow scene, such as skating on the lake, playing hockey, sledding with penguins and taking photos in a pavilion. As an added surprise, a tiger Minifigure is also included in the set to mark the Year of the Tiger in 2022.
That’s not all. To celebrate the Year of the Tiger, the 3-in-1 31129 LEGO® Majestic Tiger offers versatile play experiences for families. It can be rebuilt into a cute red panda that sleeps in trees and munches on bamboo, a koi fish swimming through lakes, or can be left up to one’s imagination to create a new animal. Family members can enjoy building together, making for a fun, intergenerational role-playing activity during house visits.
Looking for more festive activities that families can participate in together, be sure to tune in to the special Chinese New Year edition of LEGO® Playdate, a YouTube Live series that aims to bring fun and joy with quality content that ignites imagination and creativity on 22 January. Learn how to create new year accessories to complete the outfit with LEGO® DOTS, enjoy multiple product giveaways, and participate in contests. Interested families can stay tuned to LEGO® and LEGO® Certified Stores Facebook Pages and RSVP once the Facebook event page is live!

Visitors are welcome to meet and greet with the Lunar New Year Minifigure Mascot at the mall daily. There will also be on stage activities where prizes will be given away.
