How to Feature This Family Favorite
Christmas Eve At Grandma’s thrives at the heart of a village. Whether it’s framed by residential homes or nestled in a snow-covered cul-de-sac, this building instantly conveys story and emotion.
Try These Display Ideas:
- Create a “homecoming scene” with arriving car figurines and bundled-up children at the door.
- Add small props like sleds, gift bags, or a mailbox to extend the realism.
- Use a display platform to elevate it just enough to spotlight the warm windows and glowing wreaths.
Pairing it with gentle snowfall and soft lighting will bring the emotional tone to life.
Collector’s Take: Why This Piece Matters
This is the type of Lemax release that’s destined to become a classic. Collectors often seek standout pieces that feel universal — and few themes are more universal than Grandma’s house on Christmas Eve.
- Perfect centerpiece for narrative-driven displays
- Strong resale potential due to wide appeal and detail quality

Its use of resin also makes it slightly more durable, with sharp architectural detail compared to some porcelain models. It’s not flashy — it’s meaningful. That’s what earns long-term value.
