Two elves take a break for making toys to share a Coke and a Smile! Inspired by this magic, charming legend, our porcelain North Pole Series buildings and accessories bring Christmas dreams to life for the young and young at heart. About Department 56: Over thirty years ago, Department 56 began as part of Bachman's, a premiere retail florist in Minneapolis. Bachman's used a numbering system to identify each of its departments. The number assigned to wholesale gift imports division was, you guessed it, 56. Now headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, Department 56 has become a leader in the giftware, collectibles and holiday decorating industry and is best known for our hand-crafted lighted villages, Snow babies figurines and extensive lines of holiday and home decorative products.
