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.
