Top 5 Tips for a Great Department 56 Display
The Department 56 North Pole Series and Elf Land contain a variety of beautifully crafted lighted porcelain buildings and factories, all accurately detailed. There are also a wide variety of highly whimsical accessories including lots of elves, and of course Santa and Mrs. Claus. So why take such beautiful pieces and just sit them on a table, when you can display them as part of a dynamic Christmas Village. Here are a few tips I've learned over the years that help make our display as much a part of Christmas as our Tree.
One – Stability. Make sure you have a sturdy table. The Department 56 buildings and accessories are not only beautiful, but they are also family memories that can be passed on to your children (my kids have already claimed their favorites, and they're only 8). So protect your memories, and your investment by making sure your village sits on a solid table or other platform that is not easily knocked over.
Two – Space. Make sure the table you select is big enough to hold a village. Your buildings should not be crowded together as if they were still on the store shelf. These beautifully detailed buildings should be seen and admired from all sides. This is especially important when they are lit up. If they are too close together, their charm will be lost.
Three – Snow. It's the North Pole so there had better be a lot of snow. Start by putting a layer of blanket snow down first. This will not only covers your table top, but also provides an appropriate setting for your winter village. Also, once you decide where your buildings will be placed, you can hide the cords under the snow blanket (simply cut a slit in the blanket and feed the cord/light through). If you later decide to use a string of lights to add ambience to your village (see tip#5), a final layer of buffalo snow will help to hide the lights. Buffalo snow, unlike the blanket snow, is very fluffy and gives the village the look of being covered in freshly fallen snow.
Four – Spread Out. Making sure you have enough space for your buildings (Tip #2) is only ½ the battle. The other ½ involves your accessories. You want a dynamic village where everyone (elves included) has something to do and someplace to go. Place people and elves near every building making sure to spread them evenly through out the village.
Five – Light. Only the Department 56 buildings and factories are internally lit, so if you want to see your elves and other accessories at night, provide some additional ambient lighting. One of the most common method is to use street lamps, but I like to run a string or two of white (non-blinking) lights through out the village. When covered with buffalo snow and lit up, it seems as though the snow glistens.
Follow these few simple tips and you'll turn your Department 56 North Pole Series collectibles into a dynamic holiday village display.

If you love Christmas as much as I do, I'm sure you have a Department 56 village set up somewhere in your house during the Holidays. My family's favorite village is the Department 56 North Pole which my 9 year old twins now enjoy deciding how to set up and accessorize. If you like the Department 56 villages, want to learn more about the different village series, or already know what you want and are looking for and want the best price, visit us at the Dept 56 page of our website.
