Christmas Village Sets

christmas village sets

A Christmas village set is a festive way to add holiday cheer to a tabletop or mantel. These displays come in many shapes and sizes, from miniature cardboard buildings to lighted villages with ceramic or porcelain houses. The most popular village producers include Department 56 and Lemax, which offer an array of styles for any home décor.

A big part of what makes a Christmas village so lovely is the golden glow they emit, which comes from individual light bulbs inside each house or street light. Unfortunately, these lights also require power cords. So, if you have a large village set up on the floor of your living room (or anywhere else) you may end up with a tangle of cords to deal with.

The best solution is to assemble your village on a piece of plywood that’s been trimmed and cut for safety, with rounded corners and holes big enough for the electrical plugs. A diagram on the plywood helps you keep track of all the cords and where they should go so everything is neat and safe.

This wooden village set is an excellent choice for a minimalist approach to holiday decor. It has five cottage-style homes, a bakery, and a church to create an idyllic setting on your mantel. Plus, each house has multiple drawers/doors that open to reveal small candy treats or messages.

The kids will love this set inspired by the classic movie, A Christmas Story. It features a replica of the McCallisters’ home, including their pink bunny pajamas.
