Royal Copenhagen Santa Clauses and Santa's Wives – Christmas Decorations with Tradition
There is something special about the Christmas decorations we bring out year after year. For many, Santa Clauses and Santa's Wives from Royal Copenhagen have become a permanent part of Christmas, and some figures may have already accompanied the family through several generations.
Royal Copenhagen has created several different Santa Claus figures in porcelain. From the well-known figures in the Annual Santa series to larger, standalone Christmas figures that can stand alone or with other elves and Christmas decorations. Here you will also find Santa's Wives and Christmas girls, so you can create your own little Christmas display or find a figure missing from your collection.
Santa Claus Figures from Royal Copenhagen – Large and Small
Royal Copenhagen's Santa Claus figures come in different sizes and expressions. Some depict the classic Santa Claus in his red suit, while others show him in the midst of Christmas preparations with gifts, toys, and other small details.
Among the larger figures, you will find, among others, the Santa Claus No. 321, designed by Sven Vestergaard. He is accompanied by Christmas Girl No. 322, perfect to place next to Santa Claus. Both figures measure about 23 cm and can therefore also take a prominent place in the Christmas decorations.
If you prefer smaller figures, there is, among others, Santa Claus No. 042 from the Christmas with Else series. At 18 cm, he can both stand alone and be part of a larger collection of Christmas figures.
Annual Santa and Annual Santa's Wife – A Christmas Tradition Since 2001
In 2001, Royal Copenhagen released the first figure in the Annual Santa series, designed by Sven Vestergaard. Since then, a new Santa Claus figure has been added every year, with motifs telling small stories from the Santa's life and his many tasks leading up to Christmas.
In 2021, the Santa Claus was joined by the Annual Santa's Wife. The two figures complement each other but can also stand separately.
For some, it has become a tradition to buy the year's new Santa Claus or Santa's Wife, while others hunt for the missing years in their collection. A figure can also have special significance because it is from a year you want to remember. Therefore, Royal Copenhagen's Santa Clauses and Santa's Wives are often chosen as gifts for occasions such as births, weddings, and other milestones.
Give the Santa Claus and Santa's Wife a Permanent Place in Your Christmas Decorations
A porcelain Santa Claus does not necessarily have to stand among the rest of the Christmas decorations. A single figure can create Christmas spirit on a dresser, windowsill, or a mirror tray, where it can really stand out.
If you have several figures, you can arrange them in a small Christmas display with fir branches, candlesticks, and other Christmas decorations. It can also be cozy to mix older Royal Copenhagen Christmas figures with newer editions. The different sizes, colors, and motifs give the display its own character.
Santa Clauses and Santa's Wives are also perfect as gifts for those who love Royal Copenhagen. A figure from a special year can become a personal memory, while a new Santa Claus figure can be the beginning of a collection that grows over the years.
