Christmas Lane House with Dancing Lights Video

Thursday, March 25th, 2010


Christmas Lane from Department 56 is our interpretation of typical over decorated houses located on the Streets of America during the holiday season. You can just imagine these neighborhood holiday displays that grow so large that they attract visitors, traffic and school buses full of tourists and the local media. New to the series is the Dancing Lights House. Lights dance and dim to the classic holiday tune, Deck The Halls. A holiday tradition to share and remember. Only from Department 56.
