Santa's Holiday Countdown Reviews
“With 873 pieces, and recommended for those aged 10 and up, you'll create Santa Claus coming down a chimney with a little countdown clock on it. With the help of knobs on the side of the set, you can turn the countdown blocks on the chimney to see how much time is left until... More the big day. The Santa's Holiday Countdown set looks like such a fun build for those looking to keep track of the days leading up to Christmas.”
Brick Fanatics
“40874 Santa's Holiday Countdown is designed as a quirky countdown to Christmas with a single play feature. Although the function is simple by nature, the model is highly detailed without driving up the price unnecessarily. The countdown feature in 40874 Santa's Holiday... More Countdown works as well as you'd expect. It features four stickers that, while challenging to apply, hide any mistakes you make by being contained within the chimney. A wreath surrounding the countdown cut-out of the chimney completes the look. It lets you count down in LEGO style from up to September 18, a full 99 days before Christmas.”
