Department 56 Dickens Village

Dickens Village is a Department 56 series inspired by Victorian London — snowy shopfronts, gaslit lanes, carolers, merchants, and cozy parlors in finely detailed, lighted buildings.

Step into Victorian London with Department 56 Dickens Village — snowy shopfronts, gaslit lanes, and bustling street scenes. Each lighted building captures the carolers, merchants, and cozy parlors of a Dickens-era Christmas. Start with a statement piece like an inn, church, or storefront, then add townsfolk, lampposts, and trees for depth. Use risers for varied rooflines and tuck accessories between facades for a lived-in look. See the latest New for 2026 sculpts.
