If you love the idea of a cute holiday village decorating your mantle or bookcase but are more of a Halloween person, we’ve got good news. Department 56, a company known for its holiday collectibles, has a seriously fun The Nightmare Before Christmas selection. The brand rendered the animated classic starring Jack, Sally, Zero, and Oogie Boogie in intricate detail so that you can recreate the film’s iconic sets in your home.
The Halloween Town-inspired pieces allow you to build the village as you want, one character at a time. There are several Jack Skellington options, including one where he discovers Christmas Town and sees his first snowman. There are also figurines of Sally, Zero, Oogie Boogie, the Vampire Brothers, and more, because you can’t possibly have The Nightmare Before Christmas-themed decor without them.
The Department 56 pieces are sold separately on Amazon, so you can choose exactly which ones you want. They range in size, with the tallest being around 9 inches, so place the varying heights strategically to create a wow-worthy display.
If you really want to go the extra mile in making this a village to remember, you can hide eerie lights throughout it, or make sure you have the soundtrack playing when you have guests over. It’s bound to be a presentation to remember.
