Christmas in the City is Department 56 for people who love the big-city version of the season: brownstones dusted with snow, shop windows glowing late, taxis you can practically hear, and the sense that something wonderful is happening on every corner.

The City at Its Brightest
This collection features addresses like 89 W 56th Street and Chris’ Kringles, along with street-level moments such as Sentry in the City, A Tasty Sponsor, and the endearing Not As Good As Yours. Lucky twinkle branch trees line the avenues between buildings. Piece by piece, block by block, you build a skyline that feels like New York on Christmas Eve, minus the parking situation. Nearly fifty pieces deep, the series has room for landmarks, storefronts, and sidewalk stories alike.

Uptown Meets Under the Tree
City pieces display beautifully on their own or as the sophisticated downtown to a sprawling Snow Village suburb; plenty of collectors run both and let the two towns share a train line.

Plan Your Skyline
Our guide to displaying a Department 56 village helps with layout, and the full Department 56 collection holds every series. Retired city pieces surface regularly in our rare and retired collection.
