[LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-movie) creates its own imagined festive holiday movie with a trailer for the Herding Home for the Holiday. It will not follow with a full-length film but the faux promotion imagines what it would be like if the toymaker had created the movie. All of the [classic holiday cliches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waitrose-the-perfect-gift) are seen in the trailer in [toy brick form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/she-built-that).

The story follows Noel, who is a powerful woman in the city who is not looking forward to going to her family's struggling goat farm for the holidays. As expected, she connects with a love interest from her small town who is handsome and comes off cold at first. They melt and fall in love when she connects with her home.
