The “1997 Mill Creek Park Bench” from Department 56 is a lovely and nostalgic holiday village accessory that brings charming outdoor vignette life to any Christmas village display. This finely hand-painted porcelain piece features a quaint park bench in a snowy setting, complete with cardinal birds, a squirrel, trees and a lamppost—perfectly capturing the serene ambiance of a winter evening in the village.
