The display’s magic isn’t solely dependent on the thousands of twinkling lights, though.

Carved and painted by hand, the wooden figures are one-of-a-kind, but that doesn’t mean you won’t recognize some of them.

Characters from a variety of beloved children’s books and TV shows are represented among the wooden figures, so you’re sure to spot a few familiar faces.
