A staple of many Christmas decor set-ups, a LEGO Christmas Gnome, or Gonk, is now one step closer to becoming an actual set.
Hopeful fan designer BiggBear's Christmas Gnome (Gonk) has gained 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas, meaning it will go forward into review to potentially become a real LEGO Ideas set. Standing at about 12 inches tall, the build recreates the round-nosed Christmas gnomes that have gradually taken over everyone's festive decor.
Sporting a red hat, red boots, blue overalls, and of course the signature white beard, there's little chance of the LEGO Gonk being ready to hit shelves before this Christmas or even Christmas 2026. However, if the LEGO Ideas team like him as much as the community, he could be a future brick-built holiday piece to display alongside 40820 Up-Scaled Santa Minifigure.
Check out the LEGO Gonk's competition in the table below, bringing together the 47 other projects in the third Ideas 2025 review.
