The Original Snow Village began over forty years ago, and it's grown bigger, brighter and merrier every year since. Inspired by family values and traditions of small towns across America, this prosperous little winter Village can be the centerpiece of your holiday decorations! Original Snow Village pieces and accessories also feature many of your favorite brands and characters, such as Dum-Dum's, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and many more! The Warm and Cozy is a tangle of knitting enthusiasts, crochet craftsman, and macrame artists as the Christmas holiday nears. About Us: For 40 years, Department 56 has been creating holiday traditions passed down from generation to generation. The excitement of the holiday season comes home with intricately detailed villages from settings that inspire the imagination. Stroll through a small American town, enjoy a walk with Charles Dickens, or visit Santa in the North Pole. Our ornaments and figurines create even more opportunities to spread good wishes during the happiest time of the year.
