Lemax Caddington Village: Creating winter joy and play

Lemax Caddington Village has a range of figurines to create a long list of potential scenarios, but we love the potential of creating a scene of festive winter joy and fun.

It’s easy to evoke the playful spirit of a 19th-century winter brimming with nostalgia with figurines and table pieces, with their lively poses capturing the spirit of a time gone by.

Here, the Christmas.co.uk team takes a closer look at the festive celebrations in Caddington Village to create vibrant, heartwarming scenes.

Snowball fun, set of 2: Playful winter energy

The Snowball fun, set of 2 figurines capture the high spirits of two Victorian boys enjoying a snowball fight. Measuring 6 cm tall, this resin set depicts them with flowing scarves and clothes. The dynamic poses with each of them about to throw a snowball bring a sense of movement. We think the detail and its compact size allow it to fit seamlessly into a park or street setting, evoking the carefree joy of childhood.

 

Letter to Santa: Festive anticipation

The Letter to Santa is a charming snapshot of Christmas excitement. Standing at 7.1 cm tall, this resin piece shows a child posting a letter to Santa, complete with a red post box and detailed winter clothes. We love the child’s eager expression as her mother lifts her up to post the letter really do capture the anticipation of a Victorian Christmas. For those wanting to evoke the magic of wish-making this figurine is a versatile choice for placing near shops or village squares.

Visiting Santa, set of 3: A magical moment

Other than Santa bringing presents on Christmas Day, most children are thrilled to meet Santa beforehand and tell him what they would like. That’s why the Visiting Santa, set of 3 figurines bring a heartwarming scene to your village. The tallest piece is 7.2 cm tall, and this resin set features a Santa figure with a child on his knee, and eager children waiting patiently to meet him. An elf helper with a present is also on hand. We love the intricate details from Santa’s fur-trimmed coat, the children’s Victorian attire, and a sack of presents, which create a nostalgic tableau. This set undoubtedly adds a magical, family-oriented moment to a Caddington Village display.

Scene suggestions: A festive park scene

There’s a wonderful opportunity to create a lively park scene by placing the Snowball Fun figurines near a Snowy Christmas Tree, a 16.5 cm tall tree adorned with lights, to evoke a playful winter setting. Position Letter to Santa by a postbox near The Santa Shop, a 23.5 cm tall shop with glowing windows, to depict children sending their festive present wishes. Add Visiting Santa nearby to complete the narrative of children interacting with Santa. We think using the Large Pebble Road, a 48 cm long cobblestone path, to create a trail connecting the scene, will enhance the Victorian aesthetic.

For added charm, consider the Family Skating Day, a 20.2 cm tall skating scene, or the Ring around the Snowman, set of 3 to amplify the playful vibe as children dance around the figure. Also, the North Pole signs, set of 2, at 7 cm tall, can guide villagers to the festive hub.
