Lego Masters Australia will be returning for two special Christmas episodes — Bricksmas Specials.

Celebrity guests Scott Cam, Sophie Monk, Brooke Boney and Michael “Wippa” Wipfli will be putting their building skills to the test while teaming up with four past Lego Masters Australia contestants.

Henry, co-winner of season one, will be paired with Sophie. Season two contestant Jay will be teamed with Scotty. Fellow season two contestant Stani will be teamed with Wippa, and season three contestant Michael will be teaming up with Brooke.

With the festive season just around the corner, these jolly Lego Masters episodes will put anyone in the mood for Christmas, as they pit teams against one another to see whose festive creativity takes the cake.

Hamish Blake will be back hosting the show, spanning two Sundays, with the help of Ryan “Brickman” McNaught, who will be judging the contestants’ entries with his extensive and famous Lego-building experience.

Not only will Brickman be judging, but in a first for the show, he will be helping each team with their Christmas builds for one hour.

"Normally when I'm walking around I can form an opinion and go, 'Gee, I'd love to be able to help you or work on that with you',“ McNaught said.

“With the way that most of the teams on Bricksmas used me for that hour it was more like they had a special project, like 'I want you to make this for me' as opposed to really solving a problem.

“It was a lot of fun and I'm really glad I got to do it.”

Lego Masters Bricksmas Special will be airing on Sunday, November 21, and Sunday, November 28, at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
