The nostalgia of a classic Christmas village is unlike any other. If you were anything like me growing up, setting up the snow village was a responsibility I looked forward to every year. From the perfect placement of the village houses to gently dispersing the freshly fallen snow, setting up the Christmas village commences the holiday season for many families.

Whether you're looking to start a new holiday tradition with your first Christmas village or you just want to spruce up your tried-and-true favorite, you've come to the right place. We scoured the market to find the best Christmas villages for all different styles, from collectible villages you'll pass down through generations to fun little towns to set up in your child's room. No matter your style, we're sure there's a village here you'll love.

PS: a Christmas village also makes a wonderful gift for the new homeowner or newlyweds!

Where is the best place to put a Christmas village?

Atop the fireplace mantel is the most common location to place your Christmas village, but is far from the only spot. In my family, we always placed our village atop the dining room buffet, so it cast the most gorgeous and comforting glow while enjoying Christmas Eve dinner. You could also place your village on a console table, coffee table, island, or just about any spot that is long enough to hold your sprawling village.

A few of these villages come with different locations around the town, like the Lemax and Harry Potter editions. As you collect more pieces to these sets, you might just find that your village extends through your home, creating a fun decoration that guests will love to see as they venture inside.
