As the holiday season approaches, you may feel inspired to decorate your home with everything from ornate garlands and unique snow globes to festive candles. To add a homey vibe, start with our roundup of the best Christmas village sets. They're perfect for mantels, tabletops, dining room buffets and more. Plus, set-up is a snap.

Below, browse our favorite snow and winter sets, including modern, traditional and vintage villages decked out with accents like trains, lights and Santa Claus figurines. Some are even inspired by some of the best Christmas movies of all time. One of our top picks? The Home Alone LEGO kit, where you create a replica of the red brick house from the fictional town of Shermer, Illinois. Harry Potter fans can display popular scenery from the franchise like the Honeydukes Sweet Shop and the Three Broomsticks pub, while others can pay tribute to A Christmas Carol with Lemax Caddington's model of Scrooge's Manor.

Consider these building kits as an easy addition to your other Christmas crafts to celebrate the holiday season this year. It'll be worth gathering loved ones to create the picture-perfect holiday townscapes, full of all the charm, beauty and cheer of Christmas time.

This set brings your favorite Disney characters, from Mickey and Goofy to Minnie and Daisy, together for a festive celebration full of cheer! The heirloom-worthy collection includes three buildings: Mickey's Toy Workshop, Minnie's Bakery and Goofy's Gift Wrapping, along with beloved character figurines to display and store for many Christmas celebrations to come.

What's the Christmas season without Home Alone? If you're a fan of the franchise, you may enjoy assembling the red brick house from the films. The set comes with five LEGO mini-figurines, a buildable LEGO model of the McCallisters’ house, along with their tree house and the crooks' van. You'll find swinging paint cans, a basement furnace that lights up and a lever to push Kevin down the stairs on his sled.

Display the iconic Snoopy's Root Beer Café on the mantel or table. The building is made of hand-painted porcelain and has a light cord to illuminate the inside. While you're at it, purchase some Peanuts figurines (this Snoopy campfire, maybe?)!

Add holiday cheer with this glowing Christmas set that comes with three buildings to display: a theater, bookstore and a gift shop. It's battery-operated, making the buildings glow with red, clear and amber LED lights. Plus, you'll get two pine trees, two lamp posts and four village people figurines, like Santa Claus and a young boy with a snowman.

Despite being the most inexpensive pick on our list, this village set is stunning! It comes with three buildings, including a church and village homes, along with three figurines to display. The collection makes a memorable keepsake for the holidays.

This wooden town set doesn't require assembly. In fact, the miniature village is Victorian-inspired and comes pre-lit and ready to display. "I love every detail of this small town and six-hour timer," comments a reviewer. "I can't stop looking at it every time I walk into my bedroom!"

For a more modern and abstract take on the Nativity, try this stained glass, brass and wood scene from West Elm. The three-piece set includes the shepherd, three wisemen and a centerpiece.

It's a Christmas village and advent calendar in one! The top and center feature houses, people, Christmas pine trees and street lights. It even has a 24-day countdown drawer for notes and treats, and LED lights to illuminate the featured scene.

These pastel-colored buildings are oh-so-cute and inspired by gingerbread houses! The frosted glitter finish and the car and snowman accents make this set a fun addition to any Christmas home decor.

This holiday village is just as cute as Rudolph's red nose! You'll find illuminated Christmas town buildings and a collection of our beloved reindeer's friends, from Clarice and Santa to Mrs. Claus and Hermey.

Scrooge's manor is a must-have if you love Charles Dickens' work, especially A Christmas Carol. Your purchase comes with his home, which features a snowy rooftop and holiday decor throughout the exterior.

For under $30, curate an eye-catching Christmas scene with this set of 31 decor pieces. Your purchase includes a collection of small townhouses, figurines, trees and street lamps. Two AA batteries are needed for the houses to light up.

Add a restrained touch to your decor with six simple ceramic buildings, from the five cozy houses to the steepled church. The best part is that you can place tiny candles inside to illuminate the buildings.

Here's a miniature replica of Hogsmeade village from the magical world of Harry Potter. The village set has two iconic buildings, the Honeydukes Sweet Shop and the Three Broomsticks pub. Kids can play with the included mini figurines that are based on the film's characters, from Harry Potter and Dean Thomas to Professor McGonagall and Madam Rosmerta.

Position Santa and his bag of presents right on top of this festive house's chimney. The family's home features a fireplace, stockings, milk and cookies and more! It even includes four mini-figurines and a battery-operated toy Christmas tree that lights up.
