Best Christmas Village Sets

The Griswold Home Christmas House is absolutely stunning

If you want to really light up our Christmas, then the National Lampoon Department 56 Griswold Holiday Home is for you. Let me begin by saying that the house is pretty large. It lights up very bright and people feel totally amazed when they realize that it is the Griswold home.

This one home is enough to add a whole new level of festivity to any home, and with all their lights working in such a wonderful way, it is almost too good.

There have been a few instances of the lights failing, but there is a no questions asked return policy in place, so you can always pack it right back to Amazon.

The house is hand crafted and designed by artists, and is made with metal. Plastic, dolomite and sisal. It has been carefully and beautifully hand painted to add that touch of authenticity. And just like in the movie, there are lights all over the house.

If you buy it, just remember that there is a button at the back of the house that lights it up in three different modes. So before you think the lights are not using, check out the button at the back and also read up the instruction properly.

If you are liking this one a lot, be sure to check out the Ebenezer Scrooge House too.

Should I buy a Ceramic Christmas Village Set?

There is no right or wrong answer to that question, as Christmas Village sets made from different materials have different qualities and features, and pros and cons.

It boils down to what will suit your needs and also what you will like more. A Ceramic Christmas Village set is obviously going to be much better looking with far superior aesthetics than a resin or plastic one. It will look fabulous compared to a resin village set. However, it will also cost more and it can break or chip, more easily.

Ceramic is exquisite

Having said that, there is a completely different appeal of a ceramic Christmas Village set. You can display it not just during the Christmas season, but any time of the year. Since it will look so dainty and pretty, we are sure that it will be appreciated by everyone who notices it.

Where can you buy ceramic Christmas village sets?

The biggest problem however with ceramic Christmas village sets is to find them and buy them. If you go looking for ceramic Christmas Village sets on popular online stores like Amazon, you will most likely find ones made from plastic, that may not have  the highest level of detail and may be more about lights and battery operated moving parts.

We looked around a bit and found one collection surprisingly on Amazon itself, of the most sought after ceramic Christmas Village Sets – you will find it here.

They have a very high level of detail

The best part about ceramic Christmas village sets is their level of detail and their sheer aesthetic appeal. The better ceramic village sets are meticulously painted and detailed, and have the shine of ceramic that make them absolutely adorable.

Personally, we like the ceramic sets more. However, you need to consider your needs and where you will keeping it, before you choose a ceramic set.

Here is a ceramic Christmas village set house that we really like.

The Department 56 Dickens' Village Brandon Mill Ceramic House

This Mill House, is a hand crafted and hand painted porcelain house that we simply adore. It has the most delightful details, and is a part of the Dickens' Village Series from Department 56. It depicts the Brandon Mill, which is a quaint house that stood on a dusty village road hundreds of years back. The miller would grind corn in the mill, and every detail of the house is lovely. There is a patch of snow on its roof and a water wheel over the stream. If only we could step into that world again.
