Department 56 Christmas in the City

Shop Department 56 villages, buildings, figures, and accessories—including New for 2025—curated for effortless scene-building and fast ship-from-NH delivery.

Give your display the glow of the big city. Christmas in the City pairs classic architecture with everyday street life—brownstones, corner shops, theaters, and lively sidewalk scenes. Start with one signature building, then layer figures, trees, and lighting to create depth and movement. Browse sculpted landmarks like Uptown Chess Club and 87 West 56th Street, then round out your vignette with bagel runs, dragon dances, and winter skaters. When you’re ready to expand, add risers and background trees to build a full city block. Explore Department 56 Accessories , Village Buildings , or see what’s New for 2025
