A Sweet Commute: A Tasty Sponsor

Even a quick wait for the bus can be a nostalgic treat in the "Christmas In City Village." A Tasty Sponsor is a charming, vintage-style bus stop that transports you back to simpler days where every advertisement told a story. Featuring colorful posters for PEZ candies, this little shelter reminds every miniature commuter that a small pause in a busy day can be delightfully sweet. With its snowy roof and festive garland, it’s a playful nod to the small joys that make a city feel like home.

This piece is a special addition to the Department 56 50th Anniversary collection, celebrating five decades of holiday magic and community. Interestingly, it is an officially licensed PEZ product, making it a unique crossover for both village collectors and candy enthusiasts. Meticulously hand-painted with high-quality porcelain and zinc alloy accents, this bus stop brings a pop of mid-century joy and a splash of bright color to any urban winter display.
