First look at what is probably a holiday set that will be sold but possibly a GWP.

I like it. I like when the small holiday sets are things that can be added to the winter village.

Another Holiday winner!

This looks like it should be a promo, if not, what a $10 small holiday set? that seems fine also

I really hope this isnt the annual free VIP holiday set. If so, this is weak sauce compared to last year's Snowglobe...

We've had weak sauce before.

Indeed, last year's Snowglobe was the first annual holiday give-away that I've actually kept a copy for my personal collection.

I'm thinking/hoping this is the Christmas vignette set this year.  The Thanksgiving set is 40261

That green ornament symbol in the upper right most likely tells us it's a giveaway.

Take a look at the Thanksgiving set.  It's got a pumpkin in that same position.

You might be onto something.  I think it was the ribbon I was thinking of.

Yeah, at least the last three year of holiday giveaways have all had that red seal diagonally in the upper corner.  Unless they're changing their design this year, I think this is just the vignette.  Not that it wouldn't go with the winter village theme anyway - I always preferred those type of giveaways, as opposed to what we've gotten the last couple years.

I think it is the vignette. Seen it a few weeks ago, somebody posted it as it appears at the end of the thanksgiving set.

[Dr Jedi]

 

Looks like the same symbol as last year.  If tradition holds, there should be a second Christmas vignette set yet to be revealed.

It's not a giveaway, it's the $10 seasonal set. Shall we take bets?

[thebrickdad]

Never take bets on anything TLG do. They are a law to themselves.

This set is now available at Shop @ Home.   Pics aren't up yet.

Personally, I think I'll hold out for another week for double VIP.
