In 1976, Department 56 introduced with six ceramic buildings that caught holiday decorators' attention, revived Christmas villages, and started an industry. It's worth mentioning that, while "Christmas village" and "Holiday village" are generic terms, "Dept. 56" and their trade names, including "Snow Village" are specific brand names and trademarks of the Dept. 56 company.
