Know before you buy
Yes, this accessory requires a power source to operate the four integrated uplights and the rotating mechanism. Please ensure you have a compatible Department 56 power adapter available for your display.
The rotation allows the light to catch the glittered finish from different angles, creating a dynamic, shimmering effect. It adds a sense of movement to your village scene that static accessories cannot provide.
At 8.75 inches tall, this tree is designed to act as a focal point in your display. It is scaled to complement most standard village collections, though it is best placed in an open area like a town square to accommodate the rotating base.
While the tree is crafted with a high-quality glittered finish, some minor shedding is normal when handling the piece. We recommend placing it on a flat, stable surface to avoid any glitter transfer to your display base.
The lighting and rotation functions are integrated into the base design. For the best visual effect, the manufacturer intends for both features to be used simultaneously.
