2023 Dept 56 Halloween Village Lineup

[@elizabethanderson203]

Wow! What an awesome lineup!! I better start saving. I want to buy almost everything! Thank you so much for sharing this, even why you are on the road. This made my night!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Happy to help! Yep, I want most of it as well! It’ll be a great year for collecting!!!

[@pweiberth1436]

Thanks for the video, Carl. We're all so fortunate to have a devoted, enthusiastic guide such as yourself to lead us through the Dept 56 Halloween collectibles.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

You’re so welcome!! I love doing and teaching this!

[@froxyanicotti]

What a lineup. Lady with tophat holding lantern is a must as well as the lit ghost best friend and doggos dressed up. Taco truck is neat, hits right at home being in California.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

A really good selection this coming year for sure

[@olliepop2282]

I'm not sure why KZbin sent me your way but I love how passionate you are about your neat little hobby!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Good deal and thank you-hope you enjoy the channel!

[@tracyking2349]

We miss you and your great designs please come back!!!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Hahah-thank you! I’m coming back-likely within a week or so!!

[@carishields7834]

You know … I’m get in trying Yule watching your channel lol I siooo want the Disney thing !

[@davidbenson7592]

The Pirates Hideout will coordinate well with the Spooky Schooner and Ship of Sea Phantoms and Shipwreck Lighthouse but will also coordinate well with Kraken House and the new pirate accessory. I agree with you on the taco truck - that name is well done and makes me laugh.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

All good points - can’t wait to see it in person!

[@Kat_Nguyen]

The Buddy ghost is funny. I love the crypt & accessory for 2023. That castle looks super cool. Idk if it would fit in with my cemetery. The HM hearse is sweet. I might want to add that to my cemetery. Those skeleton steps are a need. The bridal couple is a maybe for me. I'm a sucker for skeleton couples.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

There is certainly plenty to choose from this year!!!

[@angelinaalperin8584]

Missing your videos Didn’t see any Christmas videos Hope your coming back , Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Merry Christmas to you as well. Yep, coming back after the 1st of the year-some changes w/ work and I’ll have more time to devote to KZbin!

[@user-vx5lb4iw2q]

Thank you Carl Looks like we have alot to choose from for 2023. Problem is where I will store this stuff lol.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

I know right!? I’m having the same issues!!!

[@misterpeanut718]

These look great. I love the Dept 56 stuff, but I went Lemax Spookytown because it fits my budget. I do have a few Dept 56 pieces though (The Pumpkin House is my absolute favorite!)

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Good deal-the pumpkin house is awesome!!

[@angelinaalperin8584]

Nice to see your doing good . Can't wait to see the finished creepy farm. It's a great lineup. It's going to be expensive 😩.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you-for sure on the expensive part!

[@marinarivera8861]

Wow this all look so great.🎃🎃🎃

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

For sure!!

[@sharonpease2965]

Sounds like you're buying everything...I can see why....the Kraken house will probably go well with Monsters of the Deep....thanks this was great!!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Yes!! It going to be a great year for collecting!!

[@Epicspectating]

Ugh, sooooo many good pieces for next year. I think I might have to sell some from the past I don’t put out as much. I want almost everything on this list. I can’t wait to create an immersive pumpkin walking my path with all the food trucks. I went to one this year in Calabasas and all I could think it I want to make one of these for my village. I’m scared for the price release. 😳

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

I think this will be a great year for collecting, but like you, I’m scared to see the prices

[@mokimmy6457]

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement motor for my “Taking Bones For A Walk”? My lights come on but it no longer goes round and round. I’d appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Hmmm…not sure.

[@barbpetr2941]

Carl--haven't heard from you in a while--hoping you and your family are ok--but sending you hugs in case you need them. Miss your smiling face and great explanations! Hope to hear from you soon!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you! All is well here, just incredibly busy with work and have been on the road a lot. Things should be slowing down soon!!

[@amandalwayman4046]

Love that Dept 56 is getting so creative with the Halloween pieces. That crypt and accessory is a definite for me. Love some of the accessories too and the Kraken house. Does anyone know when the pieces will be released by D56?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Yes…lots of good pieces this coming year for sure! Not sure on a release date, but I think it was pretty early last year-maybe June’ish??

[@amandalwayman4046]

@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl thanks! Definitely on the look out!

[@3StripesBenz]

Only started collecting Lemax over the last month or so. Channels like yours inspired me to start 🤣 it's been costly as I want Halloween displays and when the time comes, Christmas. I don't think Dept 56 pieces are available in the UK so they'd need to be imported. They definitely look like a higher quality but more expensive as a result of that.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Glad you’ve started-it’s a lot of fun! Lemax is the way most folks start out…I collected them for many years!

[@kevinfarkas679]

Thanks for sharing. I don't collect Trick or Treat Lane, but the Kraken house is amazing! It will definitely be one of the most popular pieces in 2023. You got me into the crypts this year so I'll have to get this one too, along with the accessory. It's not my favorite, but these are always more impressive in person. Happy to say I scored the 2017, 2019, and 2020 RIP crypts on a recent road trip so I'm getting close to completing that series. Witch Hollow is hit or miss for me. I love and have several pieces, but I don't collect all because I don't like some of them. Trixie's Treats is disappointing and a pass for me. Not really interested in the rest of the 2023 pieces, but I am looking forward to your future vignettes.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Good deal-agree on all fronts! Glad you’re collecting the crypts-they’re my all time favorites!

[@twilaburgmann1083]

Hi Karl, I'm interested in some of the new pieces. Do you pre-buy? Is this necessary? Is there a risk they will sell out? Thoughts? Thanks

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

I always attempt to preorder each year for the “must have” pieces that I like. Probably not completely necessary, but I’d rather be safe than sorry.

[@richardsmiecinski]

Are you going to do anything for Easter or spring time?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Unfortunately, I don’t collect anything for Easter or spring. Many of the techniques would be the same though!!

[@cool2bbrand]

Carl, when are you coming back?! We miss you.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thanks! Miss you guys too! The flying should slow down after next week and I’ll get back to posting updates and videos! October and November have been crazy busy!

[@semitaj]

How do we find out when to pre-order? Dept 56 newsletter? Thanks for getting me excited for new pieces!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

They’ll all eventually end up on the Dept 56 website. You can also check sites like city lights and country and more

[@KoolKatDave]

Neat video! I took a drink every time you said ‘crazy or cool’ and now I’m drunk! 😂 Dept 56 is so pricey - how do you all afford $250 and up per piece for the houses?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Hahaha! Love your game! Things are really expensive for sure-just like anything else we like, I save for most of it.

[@KoolKatDave]

@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl hey Carl! Yes, I hear you, lol. I just stumbled upon this hobby. Picked up a Lemax Haunted Aquarium, to start with. I have other hobbies, too, so I have to be careful not to end up in the Poor House. It’s an addictive hobby - like all the others!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

For sure!!!

[@kend6359]

Looks like Department 56 will have a good year in 2023. I know the Kraken house is $250.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Good to know…thanks!!

[@juliewalker5528]

Man so many good pieces !!! Where do you pre order from ? I am trying to find a place that will take payments since it looks like I'm buying a lot 😅. Love your videos !

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you! I preorder everything from my local Hallmark-they just happen to be a platinum retailer.

[@juliewalker5528]

@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl thank you !!! I think I found a place City Lights !!! They even have layaway for my huge want list lol

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Good deal-city lights is awesome! We go there when we visit San Diego!

[@TeriyakiStocky]

It feels a little wrong already looking at next years lineup. I love it though :)

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Right?! Me too!!

[@mrlsbennett]

Heard the castle was 290 can't remember exactly.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Wow! Crazy-I’m scared to see prices this year!

[@mrlsbennett]

@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl but it's so cool!!!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Oh for sure!
