The Christmas Story Trail
The Christmas Story Trail
The Christmas Story Trail can be set up around your building or local area and offers a fun and interactive way to explore the Christmas story. Each A4 poster features a different LEGO character from the Christmas story and a QR code that reveals a hidden augmented reality LEGO animation. Find all five posters to discover the whole Christmas story.
International shipping available.
The Christmas Trail
The augmented reality posters depict Mary and the angel, Joseph, the Shepherds, and the Wise Men, culminating in finding baby Jesus. Arrange the posters in various locations to create a fun ‘hunt,’ allowing people to discover the story and piece it together.
Churches have used these posters around their church building, halls, in houses in a street or even in local shops!
If you would like to place your Christmas Story Trail outside then you can laminate the cards, which doesn’t affect the QR code or augmented reality photo.
They can also be placed in a window behind glass and still work.

How does the Christmas Story Trail work?
- Arrange the posters in various locations to create a fun ‘hunt’, allowing people to discover the story and piece it together.
- Each poster has the same QR code on it. Participants only need to use the QR code once. Grant permissions for the Web-AR app to install and wait briefly for it to load.
- Then they can hover their smartphone over the picture with the red dotted lines on each of the posters to watch the different hidden evangelistic LEGO animation.
- Watch the Christmas story come to life in augmented reality.
- Keep going until you have found all five posters!
