There's a new Fire House in town, it's Engine 223 Fire House for The Original Snow Village. The engine bays are on the first floor while the upstairs contains the offices and bunk rooms for the firemen.
The year is 1989, and the place is the Plaza Theatre, the event is the premiere of a now classic Christmas movie National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
This set of three accessories shows two seated and one standing figure, all doing what today's Village Hipsters do -- drink coffee! The seated figures will go perfectly on any of the Department 56 park benches (sold separately).
The 2021 Department 56 tribute for Christmas Lane is the Peanuts gang! This over-decorated house features cutouts of Charlie, Lucy, Linus and the whole Peanuts gang along with Snoopy's over-decorated dog house, 1st place winner again this year!
Licensed by National Lampoon, we've recreated one of the most memorable scenes from Christmas Vacation. Clark takes off on his sled, and out of control, crashes through the warming house.
After hosting the over-decorated house contest for 18 years, this year "Christmas Lane" will feature a beautiful gate announcing this special sub-divison. It will proudly stand at the entrance of the lane and makes a perfect spot for a photo op!
Straight from the movie scene, now holding the door knocker and front wreath, the telegram delivery boy brings the fateful news about Clark’s bonus check.
Imagine how cold it would've been in this scene from the movie! I'd be freezing my baguettes off too! This figure shows the parents and in-laws standing on the front lawn watching Clark light up the house!
Clark's determination to give his family a fun, old-fashioned Christmas starts with a trek into the country in the ol' front-wheel-drive sleigh to select the most important of Christmas symbols—the tree!
Bright primary colors on the awning and giant crayons on the outside tell everyone in Snow Village that new "Crayola Crayon Store" is open for business.
