Department 56 Christmas in the City

Christmas Decoration Theme

The hustle and bustle along city sidewalks during the holiday season is just the place for excitement and cheer. Inspired by this imagery, the Christmas In The City® Series was introduced in 1987. In honor of lively cities and their diverse architecture, the series offers dozens of places to live, shop, work, dine, and enjoy the arts. Transportation suits the varying needs of all residents, from riding a carriage or hailing a taxi, to catching the subway. This series is a miniature representation of Christmas time in American cities. Made of porcelain and hand-painted to perfection, this finely detailed city is always bustling. With its diverse architecture, this lively city evokes memories of crowds, busy sidewalks, and street corner Santas. The lighted pieces and accessories are hand-crafted and -painted porcelain, with buildings usually at least 2 stories tall. Click to shop our Department 56 Christmas in the City theme!
