Department 56 Accessories

Department 56 accessories are the finishing details that complete your village display — trees, lampposts, figurines, fences, snow, risers, and lighting designed to add depth and story to any Department 56 scene.

Bring your village to life with the details that make scenes feel real. Department 56 accessories add depth, scale, and story: snowy trees, lampposts, fences, benches, townsfolk, signage, textured snow, and risers for layered streetscapes. Start with a few essentials — trees, lighted pieces, and two figures — then fill the gaps between buildings with pathways and landscaping. Use varied tree heights and risers to create natural sightlines, and place lighting near focal points to draw the eye. Explore Village Accessories for cross-brand options or discover the latest New for 2026 arrivals.
