“Set 40571: Wintertime Polar Bears is similar to this year’s Halloween set, which feature a buildable platform and animals which are relevant to the holiday.”

“A fantastic example of bears in the brick that is really good value. For anyone who is looking for something wintry rather than Christmassy, then 40571 Wintertime Polar Bears is a fun build that really highlights what can be done in LEGO bricks with a limited color palette.”

About Seasonal Christmas

Christmas is the Seasonal subtheme for LEGO's holiday sets, and new ones come out every autumn. The earliest are small Santa builds from 1999. Many of the smaller sets are given free with purchases in November and December rather than sold, which is how 40410 Charles Dickens Tribute, a scene from A Christmas Carol, reached most people in 2020.

Christmas was introduced in 1999 and currently consists of 120 sets. As of today, 40489 Mr. and Mrs. Claus' Living Room is the most valuable Christmas set with an estimated new/sealed value of $280.
Summary
Seasonal Christmas Christmas Polar Bears set 40571 was released in September 2022, retailing for $13, but has since been retired. New, unopened Christmas Polar Bears sets are valued at $20, while used sets can be found for $9 in good condition.
