Friends Advent Calendar - Day 22

Posted by ,

Yesterday we had a very nice lamp with mailbox build, and it's a credit to the quality of the builds in the calendar so far that it felt like a bit of a letdown, though it was a very nicely put together build. Only three more days left to go! Friends does not usually have a Santa for the last day of the calendar, so let's see if Day 22 gives us a hint for the last days.

This is quite a holiday table! It's quite festive indeed with drinks and dessert laid out with an absolutely massive candelabra with three candles. The candlestick piece is new this year and has only been seen in a handful of sets, so it's nice to have it here.

I love the three festive drinks (I guess two Friends will have to share) as well as the dessert on the left. I tend to think it's a trifle, but that might be only because I'm planning on making trifle for our holiday dinner later this week.

Not sure why I have a crooked leg on the table, but we'll fix that for the summary picture in a couple of days.

Wow. I guess this is served very late in the evening, as the candles have burned down!

Looking forward to getting some sets with that candelabra, it looks like a useful piece.

Imagine a Theme that is set in the 1700s or 1800s!
... on the other hand, these periods had some bad colonial vibes to them =(

Oooh, that candelabra! I hadn’t seen that before.

The cake is bigger than the girls. Clearly that table is on the verge of collapse, which explains why the left leg is buckling.

Wow! Even with still two days left, I declare the Friends advent calendar LEGO's best of 2021, hands down. It's festive, nice builds, good colors, and adorable young versions of the Friends cast. Most of all: no excessive microbuilds where you have to guess what they are. A few of them are fun, but half of the box is way too much.

The last day you should include a photo with all the spare parts of the Advent Calendar!! It would be fantastic to see so many extra parts together!!

It looks like the bottom of the cake is red, but mine was dark orange. The instruction pic looks dark orange too. Did you really get a red part?
