Lunar New Year is about togetherness, tradition, and fresh beginnings. LEGO captures that spirit beautifully with sets that can be used as meaningful gifts, relaxing builds, or eye‑catching seasonal décor. From lantern‑lit festival scenes to symbolic display pieces, these LEGO Lunar New Year sets span different styles, sizes, and budgets, so you can quite literally click together some good fortune this Spring Festival.
1) Spring Lantern Festival (Set #80107)
LEGO 80107 Spring Lantern Festival perfectly encapsulates tradition with a build that’s full of life and personality. With 1,793 pieces, it delivers a rich and layered scene celebrating the Lantern Festival, the joyful finale of Lunar New Year celebrations. The centerpiece is a detailed hexagonal pavilion with a distinctive roof design, uniquely shaped archways, and glowing red lanterns, all nestled into a colorful setting filled with lush greenery, winding street paths, and even a koi pond featuring printed fish tiles. The scene feels wonderfully alive.
That energy is amplified by the eight included minifigures, an auspicious number. Dressed in modern festive outfits and armed with cameras, selfie sticks, and playful accessories (including a pet bunny). It feels refreshingly true to real‑world celebrations, where tradition and life blend effortlessly. With no stickers and loads of printed elements, the set looks crisp and decorative straight out of the box.
The build itself seems satisfying without being overwhelming, and the finished model makes a stunning centerpiece you’ll happily display year‑round — or proudly bring out every Lunar New Year.

2) Good Fortune (Set #80117)
LEGO 80117 Good Fortune is a Spring Festival display set that leans fully into symbolism and mindful building. With 1,021 pieces, it’s less about play and more about thoughtful arrangement, essentially the LEGO equivalent of styling a festive tabletop centerpiece.
The set is composed of five auspicious builds: a large decorative fan (with two elegant display variations), a vase of fortune red fruit, a brick‑built persimmon, three golden yuanbao ingots, and a calligraphy scroll welcoming spring. Each element represents prosperity, happiness, love, or good health in Chinese tradition, giving the whole display an intentional feel rather than a random collectionof objects.
The build experience seems calm and easily dividable (with others) thanks to split instructions and separate bags, though some sections — especially like the fan — seems a little delicate. As a seasonal display piece, however, it shines: festive, meaningful, and unmistakably LEGO.

3) Galloping Horses Canvas (Set #80119)
LEGO 80119 Galloping Horses Canvas is a bold, colourful Spring Festival set that feels more like assembling a piece of kinetic art than a traditional LEGO model. With 1,650 pieces, the highlight is a printed canvas scroll depicting four galloping horses in classic brush‑painting style, symbolising the New Year blessing of “success upon arrival.” The canvas itself is built with a thin, layered frame, using wavy LEGO elements in varying colours and shapes to create a dramatic sense of motion — an effect that really comes alive when the mechanism is in action.
That motion comes from the four brick‑built horses placed in front of the artwork. Despite their small size, they’re impressively detailed, each representing a different horse breed and featuring circular, almost sculptural detailing around the stomach, shoulders, and back that gives them a subtle 3D depth. Turn the side crank and the horses move in unison, creating the illusion that they’re galloping straight out of the canvas.
It’s a set that’s undeniably colourful, yet it never loses its traditional charm. The combination of layered art, clever mechanics, and refined detailing makes it a striking blend of culture, motion, and display — perfect as a statement piece for Lunar New Year décor.

4) Fortune Firecracker (Set #80118)
LEGO 80118 Fortune Firecracker is a bold, bright‑red Spring Festival set designed primarily for display – and it fully embraces that role. With 1,039 pieces, the build forms a large decorative firecracker finished in rich reds and golds, complete with hanging details that instantly scream Lunar New Year.
Its standout feature is a clever hidden reveal: press a button and the center opens to show one of two interchangeable scenes, either a festive fireworks display or the arrival of the God of Fortune. There’s also a fun tactile detail, as loose studs inside the firecracker tubes create a subtle rattling sound when moved, mimicking the crackle of real firecrackers.
Six minifigures add charm and narrative flair, though this set is very much about presentation. Hung near an entrance or displayed prominently, it’s the kind of reusable seasonal décor that invites compliments, and might even gently rattle in the wind, announcing that good fortune has arrived.

5) Cherry Blossoms (Set #40725)
At 430 pieces, LEGO 40725 Cherry Blossoms is a botanical set full of symbolic meaning. You’ll build two delicate cherry blossom branches in soft pinks and whites — a visual shorthand for spring’s arrival, new beginnings, hope, and good fortune. In many cultures, blooming branches like these are used during Lunar New Year as festive décor, like an alternative to a Christmas tree.
The build process is calming and repetitive in the best way, as you gradually add clusters of blossoms and leaves. It feels like meditative gardening with bricks, and the end result is instantly display‑worthy. Placed in a simple vase, the branches bring colour and seasonal warmth to any shelf or table.
They’re also wonderfully versatile: mix them with other LEGO Botanical sets for a year‑round bouquet, or let them stand alone as a cheerful symbol of a fresh start — one you can reuse every Lunar New Year or keep it as a Display Piece.
