The LEGO Star Wars team have already made a holiday AT-AT

The latest LEGO Star Wars rumour should seem familiar, as the LEGO Star Wars team proposed the same concept nearly five years ago.

A new LEGO Star Wars rumour from Instagram user a.clay.brick posits that the previously stated Christmas TIE Fighter 2025 set will instead be a holiday take on an AT-AT. It's still rumoured to feature 697 pieces for the updated cost of $79.99.

No further details have been shared for the set at the time of writing, and it's to be taken with caution until an official announcement is made.

The concept of a seasonal AT-AT model is nothing new to LEGO Star Wars, though. A 2020 Christmas video with Design Director Jens Kronvold Frederiksen and Design Manager Michael Lee Stockwell had the pair decorating 75288 AT-AT with everything from holly to multi-coloured lights, a Santa hat and even a white beard.

That's not a bad framework for an official LEGO Holiday AT-AT set, as is rumoured. There are many paths for the stated AT-AT to take, from gingerbread to Christmas colour schemes, but modifying the iconic standard design of an AT-AT with seasonal features is an interesting move. Should the rumours of a holiday AT-AT set be true, some of the work has already been done for the LEGO Star Wars team, too.

There are still ways to improve on the 2020 Holiday AT-AT design, even when the model would need to be scaled down for the rumoured piece count. The team can add an exclusive seasonal minifigure – likely with a new sweater – and even a miniature Snowspeeder with brick-built tinsel or string lights in place of the wire.

While the holiday AT-AT set is still just a rumour now, it's not unheard of in official LEGO Star Wars media and it will be interesting to see how the set compares to the 2020 build, should it end up being accurate. Here's everything currently confirmed and rumoured for LEGO Star Wars in 2025 while we wait to see if 40806 Holiday AT-AT is real.
