This die-cut advent calendar bottles that same little-world magic without any glass or water required, shaping itself into a snow globe brimming with a full winter village: a church steeple, snug cottages, evergreens dusted in white, and a toy train chugging along its circular track around the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the twenty-four doors tucked into the scene, and you'll uncover little vignettes worthy of an old-fashioned Christmas card — a top-hatted snowman clutching a bouquet of holly and mushrooms, two rosy-cheeked children tumbling along on a sled, a cozy lantern-lit train car strung with garland. Designer Barbara Behr's illustration style has a warm, storybook nostalgia to it, evoking the golden age of European Christmas card art while still feeling perfectly at home on a modern mantel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA satin ribbon looped at the top of the globe makes this calendar ready to hang the moment it comes out of the package, while a scattering of iridescent glitter gives the \"glass\" of the globe a genuine wintry shimmer. It's a charming centerpiece for anyone who loves the magic of a snow globe but would rather not risk a shelf mishap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: single die-cut advent calendar shaped as a snow globe, with 24 numbered doors revealing illustrated scenes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 52 x 35 cm \/ 17 x 15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: hand-illustrated winter village scene inside a snow globe silhouette, with a circling toy train, artwork by Barbara Behr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccents: iridescent glitter throughout, with a ribbon at the top for hanging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 105 g \/ 3.7 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Coppenrath","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48282534805657,"sku":"210000128601","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/8204\/9945\/files\/m1nbbpakeswhdkk275m4.png?v=1783096449","url":"https:\/\/www.countrychristmasloft.com\/products\/the-snow-globe-winter-magic-advent-calendar-17-x-16","provider":"The Country Christmas Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
