North Pole Village

“This ornament was a huge collaboration between me, my design manager, our engineers, editor, and music studio. I had a vision of what I wanted it to be, and they all contributed to making the magic happen. The story comes to life with Santa’s voice, a light show, the elves, getting ready for Christmas and music from ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’.”

When you imagine all of the magic at the North Pole, what comes to mind? And how could you put so much magic into one ornament? That was Sharon Visker’s challenge, and she shared what inspired her creative vision.

“I grew up in Colorado, and we would visit the North Pole there at the foot of Pikes Peak. I would also write letters to Santa every year, and I remember putting them in a special Santa mailbox.”

“When I imagined what the North Pole might be like, those memories came back to me, along with all the stories I’ve heard about the North Pole and what happens there. I started designing with a vision of what it might look like if the North Pole was on a mountain. I knew I needed the elves’ workshop and the reindeer. Of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus would be there with Santa’s sleigh and everything he needs For his big night!”

All those memories came together in Sharon’s North Pole Village, and her love of Christmas comes through in each detail. “I love how Santa brings you into the world of the North Pole. It’s really magical, and I hope everyone enjoys the ornament as much as I enjoyed creating it!”
