Buying a Christmas snow globe at The Christmas Shop
A Christmas snow globe brings atmosphere to any corner of your home, even without a tree. Our range runs from classic winter scenes, Santas, reindeer and snowmen to a globe with a nativity scene, a ballerina or woodland animals. There is everything from a small snow globe for the windowsill to a large snow globe that steals the show. Most of these globes are wound up by hand for music and movement, while others snow automatically at a touch.
Snow globes with music
A musical snow globe completes the Christmas feeling. Wind the music box and you will hear a familiar tune like We Wish You a Merry Christmas while the figures inside turn. Some models play several carols in a row. Prefer something without snow? Have a look at our music boxes shaped as carousels and nutcrackers too.
Battery-operated snow globes
A battery-operated snow globe does the work for you. Instead of winding it, you switch it on and the snow swirls automatically, often with LEDs that lights the scene from within. These automatic snow globes usually run on AAA batteries and play music at the same time. Handy as a gift for anyone who would rather skip the shaking.
Glass and luxury snow globes from Goodwill, Inge Glas and Spieluhrenwelt
The glass dome and resin base give a luxury snow globe its fine detail, and many scenes are painted by hand. Goodwill, a Belgian family business designing stylish Christmas decorations since 1986, releases a new collection every year. Germany's Inge Glas and Spieluhrenwelt are known for their craftsmanship and bubble-free globes. Pair them with our glass baubles for a consistent look.
A snow globe as a Christmas gift or collector's item
A snow globe is a gift that lasts. For children the moving snow is pure magic, and for collectors a globe quickly becomes a yearly tradition to add to. People have been collecting and passing them down since the nineteenth century, from simple souvenirs to carefully made keepsakes. Looking for something to hang?
