7. The Snow Brick Christmas Castle

The Snow Brick Christmas Castle

Christmas is the obvious season for this, and it works. Red banners, green wreaths, a giant tree in the courtyard, and warm light in every window. The snow bricks keep it from looking too busy, even with all the decorations.

Add presents near the entrance, candy-cane pillars by the gate, and a sleigh parked outside if you’re feeling playful. It’s festive without trying too hard, and it makes a great centrepiece for a holiday server.
