We're Having a Holiday Skating Party...Department 56 Style!

by Deanna Pietrzak on 09/30/19

Dickens' Village, North Pole Series, and The Original Snow Village have all just released a new, limited edition "Holiday Skating Party" gift set in time for the holiday season! Each set features a lighted warming house, an ice rink, and two village skaters. These sets have a retail value of $135 each but are specially priced at only $99! At this price, they won't last long so reserve yours today!

Dickens' Village

As the London snow gently falls, the Chelsea Pond warming house welcomes skaters back for the season. The warmly-lit windows allow those cozying up inside to watch over friends on the rink. Out front, a wrap-around bench provides the perfect spot to easily strap on skates while the lit lantern overhead helps illuminate the pond for a romantic twilight skate.

North Pole Series

Santa's elves take a break from toy building and head for the Elfin Warming House for some skating fun! Inside, the stove is kept stocked with wood, creating a warm place for the elves to put on their skates while the convenient flame-lit barrel out front provides rink-side warmth for the elves.

The Original Snow Village

Look inside this cozy warming house where benches invite skaters to warm up with a cup of hot cocoa and fresh baked Christmas cookies. The large overhead door makes for an easy transition between the rink and a fireside seat.

Dept. 56 Offers More than Lighted Villages!

by Deanna Pietrzak on 07/22/19

Many people don't realize that the Department 56 collection includes Snowbabies!

Introduced in 1986, Snowbabies were inspired by antique figurines from Germany and Japan. Snowbabies are porcelain figurines depicting small children in snowsuits poised in a precious, sentimental scene. Each Snowbabies figurine is carefully designed to ensure a expression of love, friendship, and inspiration. Although their wintry surrounding makes them a cherished gift for the holiday season, they are popular to give and collect all year long!

Each Snowbabies collectible tells its own story and it's that story that makes each figurine special and unique!
