Amid the snowflakes and string lights of your Lemax display, few buildings can offer the sense of peace and community that The New Village Church brings. Introduced in the 2024 Caddington Village collection, this lighted building captures the heart of the season — togetherness, reflection, and spiritual warmth.
As a collector, I find that churches serve as emotional anchors in a village layout. They don’t just look beautiful — they represent something deeper. Let’s take a closer look at how The New Village Church radiates calm and connection.
A Design Rooted in Tradition
This church balances classic architectural elements with joyful holiday touches. The tall steeple, gothic windows, and cross-topped roof evoke a timeless design. Meanwhile, Christmas decorations around the entrance and gift-wrapped boxes on the front lawn give it a festive glow.
- Traditional Aesthetic: Pointed arches, muted stone tones, and stately symmetry.
- Christmas Accents: Wreaths, garlands, and gift piles add warmth without overwhelming the sanctity.
- Community Feel: The building invites visitors, figurines, and stories of joyful gatherings.

Perfect Display Ideas for The New Village Church
This piece excels as a focal point or emotional center in your holiday layout. Churches are natural visual anchors, so give this one a bit of space to shine — either at the top of a snowy hill or centered on a village square.
Suggestions:
- Use a display platform with faux stone walls to simulate a hillside chapel.
- Frame with pine trees, choir figurines, and lamp posts for evening carol vibes.
- Include a small nativity or Christmas service tableau nearby to enhance storytelling.
Its soft glow works especially well in low-light environments — ideal for nighttime vignettes or window displays.
