We’ve barely made it halfway through September, but that is not stopping retailers from starting to promote and sell Christmas decorations. For many, it’s a great time to score early savings on Holiday decor while others simply wish to gather some Christmas decor ideas.
For fans of the Lemax Christmas Village Collection, Michaels has already posted the latest 2022 Lemax Christmas releases online. You will find plenty of exclusives pieces this year only available at Michaels including a ski resort, reindeer stable, candy store, ice fishing festival and Santa village. Plus, you will find new releases from all the most popular Christmas villages including Caddington Village, Santa’s Wonderland, Plymouth Corners, and Vail Village.
Although many of these popular Christmas village pieces won’t be available online for a few more weeks, you can still view them at Michaels stores.
If you are shopping around and looking for pieces that might be sold-out, be sure to check out Gift Spice or one of the many retailers listed on the Lemax website. Michaels typically carries only pieces from the current years collection. If you are looking for retired pieces or last years buildings, one of the collectible stores might be good to check out.
For those interested in knowing the items available in this years collection, I’ve put together this list of the new releases in the 2022 Lemax Christmas Village Collection with links to their product page on Michaels.com.

Looking for a party to attend on Christmas Eve in Santa’s Wonderland? Well, look no further than Santa's Rooftop Bash! With elves hanging from every window, you can tell that this is going to be one party that you never forget! There is even a couple of snowmen dancing in the safe freezing temperatures of the open roof and a snowman and reindeer circling the tree with its twinkling lights.

Lemax® Caddington Village™ Christmas Cheer Bottle Company
Since 1902, the Christmas Cheer Bottling Company has been supplying Caddington Village with all the drinks needed for the festive table and holiday celebrations. The plant is a busy operation with the workers brewing and bottling the beer as well as moving barrels around. They also have to stack the crates of wines and champagne to make sure everything is well-stocked and no one runs out of drinks with which to toast happy holidays.
Some of the standout buildings are the places of worship and the Christmas Chimes Church (of the Grace Fellowship) is an example of stunning architecture. The chimes from the not one, not two, but five large bells ring out across town, and the choir of children standing outside make sure that the chimes are accompanied by some wonderful Christmas carols. The pastor is waiting at the door to greet you for a Christmas service and concert.
Lemax® Caddington Village™ Dutch Cheese Festival and Farmers Market
One of the most popular food shopping destinations at Christmas in Caddington Village, the Dutch Cheese Festival and Farmers Market is the place to pick up some special goodies for the holiday table. At 11 am every day, you can enjoy the spectacle of the workers in traditional garb hauling and stacking the cheese wheels. Fill your shopping bag with various cheeses, charcuterie and fresh produce.
When the countdown to Christmas is well and truly on, the Michaels Exclusive Santa's Village is an absolute hive of activity. The little elves are working at a quick pace to make sure that all gifts from the likes of Mrs. Claus' Bakery get to the Sleigh Garage in time. Once onboard, they are ready to be transported to their new homes!

Hickory Summit Ski Resort is a charming mountain lodge with rooms available for the holidays. Built with log and stone, this retreat embodies life in the mountains.

Nothing says Christmas quite like a beautifully decorated tree, and this large outdoor tree is perfect for bringing festive cheer to any village.

It should be seen by the whole town.
Lemax® Caddington Village™ Nancy's Christmas Boutique

There is no better place to dine in Caddington Village than the Yorkshire Pub & Restaurant.
