A Brick-by-Brick Christmas: PHd Design’s 2025 Festive Creation

There are two types of people at Christmas:

1) those who patiently open an advent calendar one day at a time, and

2) those who learned long ago that self-control is overrated.

Whichever camp you fall into, this year’s festive creation from PHd is designed to bring a bit of joy, a bit of curiosity… and quite a lot of LEGO®.

Because nothing says “Merry Christmas” quite like a miniature reindeer slowly taking shape on your desk – one brick at a time – while you promise yourself you’re definitely not avoiding emails.

Introducing the PHd LEGO Advent Calendar

This year, we’ve swapped tradition for creativity once again with a 25-piece LEGO build-your-own Rudolph.

Each numbered step is laid out on the advent-style guide included in the pack. Assemble him day by day… or, if patience isn’t your strong suit, all in one festive flurry.

The leaflet shows the full build, parts list, and Rudolph in his finished glory – complete with his shiny PHd nose.We can neither confirm nor deny that our designers spent far too long debating the optimal nose size. (Creativity is a serious business.)

Continuing the PHd Christmas Tradition

Over the years, PHd’s festive creations have taken many forms. We’ve sent everything from build-your-own wooden reindeer and custom PHd playing cards to bespoke socks, Christmas “crackers” filled with festive facts, and even creative puzzles. Each one has been designed to share a little cheer while showcasing what thoughtful, playful design can do.

This year’s LEGO advent build is our latest way to bring a smile to your December – and maybe even inspire your inner engineer.

Win a LEGO Santa

Once your Rudolph is complete, we’d love to see where he ends up.
Perched on your desk? Supervising the printer? Starring in a tiny stop-motion holiday epic?

Share your most creative or unusual photos of Rudolph on PHd’s social media channels for the chance to win a LEGO Santa (full details on the leaflet’s inside panel).

We can’t wait to see the adventures he gets up to.

A Festive Thank You from PHd

Whether you’ve worked with us this year, followed our content, or simply enjoyed seeing what we create, we genuinely appreciate your support.

This little reindeer is our way of saying Merry Christmas – and thank you for being part of the PHd story.

Enjoy the build. Enjoy the break. And if you’d like help building something a little bigger than a 25-piece reindeer next year… you know where to find us.

Merry Christmas from all the team at PHd Design.
