North Pole Mail Room #15733 - Buy here
I’m a massive fan of everything involved in a Santa Wonderland and this is 100% on my must buy list this year.
The North Pole Mail Room is an animation piece with of course mail moving around a conveyor belt. It may just be my imagination of a Santa Wonderland but there’s something quite magical of a hand written letter from the children of the world who’re asking Santa what they want this Christmas.
As a kid I could only dream of what Santa would get up to on the lead up to Christmas and I’m obsessed with everything in the North Pole. Putting this product into my village means a lot. I want to show my little boy what my imagination thought was going on and that the big man would go through reading all the letters everyone sent was truly magical.
Tinseltown Plaza #05700 - Buy here
Wanting to take a trip out of your village to explore a shopping centre? Tinseltown Plaza is what you dream of when it comes to Christmas shopping. This animated piece shows a busy mall with plenty of excited shoppers buying all the Christmas gifts they need to make it a truly magnificent Christmas.
The addition of seeing shoppers on the moving escalator as they go about their business while the festive music plays really adds to the quality of this product. The lights shine perfectly which really comes to life in the evening and the final bonus of course would be the big Santa sitting on the roof waving to wish everyone a very merry Christmas is brilliant. For me this piece is totally captivating and if I wasn’t on a budget and determined to buy the North Pole Mail room I’d 100% find a place to add this product.
Winterhaus Resort #15735 - Buy here
The Winterhaus Resort is a skier’s paradise. I believe Lemax’s skiing range is very popular in the UK and this cozy mountain resort looks the business for someone who may want to incorporate a smaller skiing village than the full shebang.
If you want a skiing village but don’t want something as big as the skiing resorts some people create this product will eradicate that worry. The Winterhaus Resort has it all in one piece.
What I do like about this is the lighting – I’m a sucker for the colourful fairy lighting across the roof and I’m sure this will look brilliant in the dark, you can even see the skiers and boarders speeding around the hill! One day I would love to go on a skiing trip – question I have for you though is; is it any different at Christmas time?
Twlight B&B (Smoking) #15740 - Buy here
We’ve covered a lot of animated pieces but we haven’t covered anything yet on the cheaper side of peoples budgets. The cosy lighted buildings you can purchase really do add a certain lifelike quality and lets face it, not everything you need in a village needs to move.
I love the Twilight Bed & Breakfast, it’s beautifully decorated and would go brilliantly at the end of a street scene. There is nothing better than going on a Christmas trip and stopping over for the night. If this building was brought to life I would 100% be stopping there. The delicate lighting with the smoking chimney gives this a real life-like effect.
Johnnie’s Hot Chocolate #93442 - Buy here
This product will fit perfectly alongside your market stalls, ice rink or in your carnival. After a cold winters trip to any of the named settings your villagers will need some warmth.
The red van is a really nice addition to the Lemax range which is slightly different to the buildings you can buy but also slightly bigger than the hot chocolate stands you can also purchase. This figurine has a small detailing which gives you the choice of hot cocoa, apple cider or spiced latte. I don’t know about you but I’m sure the villagers would flock out if they knew he had a baileys hot chocolate!
Santa’s Sleigh Spinners #14833 - Buy here
We all love a fairground ride. Anyone who has been to Winter Wonderland in London will know how amazing Christmas rides are and how well they can be incorporated into a village. Santa’s Sleigh Spinners would give your villagers plenty of excitement in the festive spirit everyone loves.
The large Christmas tree centre features a number of highly detailed carriages and spinning reindeers. Do you think this product could possibly be used in a Santa wonderland too? What do you think? We’d love to know your thoughts.
