A LEGO® Ideas creation titled “Elf the Movie – North Pole!” based on the film “Elf” and submitted by Johnathan1986 has reached 10,000 supporters on LEGO® Ideas and advanced to the Second 2025 Review.
If approved during the review process, the set will be released as a new LEGO® Ideas product between 2026 and 2027.
“Elf” is a 2003 Christmas comedy film directed by Jon Favreau, known for his work on the MCU and Star Wars series. The heartwarming story follows Buddy, a human raised by elves in the North Pole, as he travels to New York City to find his biological father. The film’s themes of family bonds and Christmas magic have continued to resonate with audiences worldwide.
This creation meticulously recreates Santa’s workshop from the North Pole as featured in the movie, with a large snow-covered building featuring an impressive arched entrance at its center. The structure spreads out with wing-like extensions on both sides, incorporating intricate details such as stained glass-style windows and lanterns throughout.
The set includes numerous minifigures of key characters, featuring protagonist Buddy, Santa Claus, various elves, and his father Walter Hobbs.

What Are the Chances of Production?
While Christmas-themed creations face challenges in LEGO® Ideas approval, there is precedent with “The Nightmare Before Christmas” receiving official production.
Given the enduring popularity of “Elf,” this creation has strong potential to pass the review process.
