The majority of their villages try to replicate New England in the winter but they also have villages like the North Pole and Dickens that focus on other parts of the world.

Department 56 Snow Villages have become favorite decorations for many people over the years.  The company’s Original village was released in the 70’s and since then has grown more and more popular over the years due to the high quality craftsmanship and the detailed touches on their figurines.  If you haven’t already discovered why these villages are so fun to own, here are 3 reasons you should start collecting a village today.
First, these villages have something for everyone.  The majority of their villages try to replicate New England in the winter but they also have villages like the North Pole and Dickens that focus on other parts of the world.  Some of their new releases include some of your favorite Disney characters for those who want a more whimsical feel to their collection.  History lovers can enjoy Williamsburg or the Dickens village.  The Dept 56 Halloween collection also allows you to have a collection set up in the fall.
Second, your collection can be whatever you want it to be.  There are very few home decorations that allow you to create something unique and different.  Normally, if you and a neighbor bought the same decoration, they will look exactly the same.  Snow villages however, can be placed in many different ways and they are all going to be different depending on the person with the collection.  You might only have a small space to display it on a bookshelf or you may have an entire table in your living room to set up your wintery scene, but either way, it is going to be unique to you and your home.
Third, you will not be the only one who loves your collection.  Your kids will love coming up with the stories about the people and buildings in the town.  You can use your village to tell them some historical stories as well.
Snow Villages are fun for everyone because they can be customized to meet your personality and home, as well as, get the imagination of you and your family going.
