About The Crafted Christmas: Where Tradition Finds a Home
Welcome to The Crafted Christmas, your curated online haven for the exquisite world of Department 56 villages and collectibles. Here, we believe that the holiday spirit is not just a feeling, but a story waiting to be told—a story built piece by cherished piece, light by gentle light. We are more than a retailer; we are fellow storytellers, dedicated to helping you craft a holiday tradition that is uniquely and beautifully your own.
The magic of Department 56 has, for generations, transformed homes into landscapes of memory and wonder. It’s in the meticulous brickwork of a Snow Village cottage, the festive hustle of a Dickens’ Christmas Village square, and the whimsical charm of a North Pole lane. These are not mere decorations; they are heirlooms in the making, each one a testament to unparalleled craftsmanship and narrative artistry. The Crafted Christmas was born from a deep-seated passion for this very magic. We founded this company on the belief that everyone deserves a source that understands the soul behind the collectible—a place that honors the craft and facilitates the creation of your family’s own enduring legends.
