The Lego Masters Bricksmas Specials are the Christmas specials of the Australian reality television series Lego Masters. Hamish Blake and Ryan "The Brickman" McNaught returned as hosts for the specials. The first special, broadcast in two parts, aired on 21 and 28 November 2021. The second Christmas special, also a two-parter, aired on 20 and 27 November 2022.
The specials feature celebrities pairing up with past Lego Masters contestants to compete. Rather than a monetary prize, the winners receive a Christmas themed Lego trophy and $20,000 will be donated to Kmart’s Wishing Tree.
Production Celebrity contestants on the first special included Scott Cam, Brooke Boney, Sophie Monk and Michael (Wippa) Wipfli paired with returning Lego Masters contestants Michael from Season 3, Jay and Stani from Season 2 and Henry, one half of the Season 1 winning team.
