All stories begin the same way: “once upon a time”. Well let’s pretend that I live in Snow Village. Actually, this is a very small village in an area nobody never visited. My house is the one with many snowmen displayed all around. It’s December 24th in the morning and a stressing and challenging day has begun. My Christmas shopping is starting.

The 9.5″ x 8.25″ x 7.5″ Department 56 Snow Village Snowman House is made of ceramic and comes with light. Take a look at these detailed evergreen accents and the snowmen. You can’t miss the house because it features a “Let it snow” sign on its roof.

The Red Cup Cafe

First thing in the morning, a cup of warm coffee. And is there a better place than the Red Cup Café on Main Street? Because I don’t have too much time ahead of me, I’ll order a take-away cup coffee.

This lovely Department 56 lit porcelain house “Red Cup Cafe” is a part of the Christmas Snow Village collection. The building comes with light cord and measures +/- 6.25″ x 4.75″ x 5.75″.

On my way to the local Inn to make sure the family made themselves comfortable. Uncle Bob and Aunt Annie came from their Loon Lake Cabin located in Snow Forest and booked a few days at the Eden Prairie Inn, the local hotel.

The 7″ x 7 3/4″ x 9 1/2″ Eden Prairie Inn is a new house in the Dept56 Snow Village collection. It’s made out of porcelain and comes with a light cord and light bulbs. You will also find a set of 4″ x 2.5″ x 3.25″ characters in the pack.

The Christmas Snow Village’s bakery produces delightful pastries. I ordered some sweets from this shop: a chocolate yule log, cookies, a plum pudding and fresh-baked bread for the dinner. Can you feel the delightful smell of the excellent pastries and breads yet?

During my shopping, I take some time to say hello to other Snow Village inhabitants. Young or old, it doesn’t matter, they gather everyday, regardless of the season, on Main Square.

Sitting in the Village is a set of 3 banks and 6 sitting figurines. All of them are made out of bisque porcelain. These figurines can be used on other Snow Village seats, which enables you to enlarge the sceneries.

Admire the bright colors – the house is entirely decked for the night. The train is just coming back from the magical toy manufacture. As you can see, it’s filled with many fantastic toys the kids will enjoy to discover tomorrow morning.
