This Who-Ville Ceramic Village Will Make Your Heart Grow Three Sizes

The Grinch is undoubtedly one of the best and most classic of holiday films. Whether you prefer the 1966 original cartoon version or the Jim Carrey update, the story of a total grump who hates Christmas finally coming ’round to seeing how special and heartwarming it can be is a must-watch every holiday season. Now you can even get a Who-Ville ceramic village to display in your living room while watching it!

  1. Department 56 comes to the rescue again! If you can’t remember where you’ve heard that name before, I’ll remind you: they’re the ones behind the Harry Potter ceramic village and the National Lampoon’s ceramic village. Both are amazing, but if Dr. Seuss is more your vibe, why not go Who-Ville this Christmas?
  2. There are so many options! The great thing about these ceramic villages is that you can pick and choose which pieces you want in yours. The Who-Ville village has a bazillion different buildings you can add, from the Fireplace Place and the Who Beauty Parlor to the Who-Ville Sweet Shop and the Who-Ville City Hall.
  3. That’s not all… All those people need Whovians to fill them, so Department 56 is also offering a set of The Grinch, Max, and Cindy-Lou Who. There are also some Whos decorating a Christmas tree and some other Whos with their toys. In other words, you have choices to make this as big and beautiful as you want, or you can keep things cute and quaint. It’s up to you!
  4. These make amazing collectibles. Buying a Department 56 village is an investment since the pieces are not super cheap, but that’s because they’re hand-crafted and meant to be passed down from generation to generation. Your kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids (or nieces/nephews, godchildren, etc.) will undoubtedly love being able to display their own little Who-ville years from now, which makes them an even better buy.
