Read on to find out how to make the ultimate Lemax Christmas village.

Planning your village

Before diving into the design process, it's important to plan the layout of your Christmas village. Consider the available space and start with a centrepiece that will help form the focal point of your Lemax Christmas village. 

New for 2023, Garden Store Online has some great showstopping pieces for the heart of your display.

Tea with Mrs Claus is the perfect place to start for your Christmas village during the festive season. The café is beautifully decorated, with teapots on the roof, a smoking chimney, an illuminated tree, and busy elves inside. There is so much to enjoy, so why not stop by and experience the magic for yourself?

Or why not make the Lemax North Pole Fun Fair the main attraction of your display? Everyone loves a festive fairground at Christmas, so this Lemax piece makes the perfect spectacle.

Complementing Lemax pieces

One of the most rewarding aspects of creating your Lemax village is finding pieces that go together perfectly.

For the most effective results, try to think in terms of real-life scenes, not just individual pieces. For example, pairing Farm Fresh Christmas Trees with some figures walking through a nearby cluster of trees really helps conjure the image of a family shopping for their Christmas tree.

Equally, pairing the cosy 3 Crowns Inn with the charming Poppy’s Bakery is ideal for starting to create a convincing village high street.

The best thing about Lemax’s Christmas Village is that it's a 360-degree experience, incorporating elements such as lighting and movement to add depth and character to your display.

Our carefully curated selection of Lemax villages offers a delightful array of animated winter scenes, from Yuletide carousels, magical skating rinks,  quaint Kringle Cottage to bustling Tinseltown Plaza, each intricately crafted to evoke the magic of Christmas.

Creating Atmosphere

The Lemax accessories play a crucial role in creating the right atmosphere for your Christmas village. Lemax Stands and Stalls bring an authentic feel to the street scene, from wreath sellers to skate rental huts. 

Let your villagers choose the perfect, handmade Christmas decoration, or take a comforting sip of hot chocolate from Johnnie’s Van.

Soft, warm lights evoke a cosy and inviting feel, while twinkling LEDs and music can add a touch of magic.

Why not try placing the Lemax Chasing Multi Light Spruce Tree in the heart of your village or line the main thoroughfare with Lemax Santa Hat Street Lamps?
