Established in 1994, Trillium Village Collectors Club is one of Canada's oldest Department 56 collector clubs.  We are based in Toronto but have club members all over the province of Ontario.

The objective of our club is to provide a meeting place for club members to share the joy and excitement of their hobbies and to share display ideas featuring their favourite collectibles.  All collectors and retailers of Department 56 Village and Holiday products are welcome to join the club.  Club membership also includes an informative newsletter mailed physically or electronically to each club member every other month.  Membership form is available for download on the "About Us" page.

Trillium Village Collectors Club is a not-for-profit organization.  Although we appreciate support from our retailer members, the club is not affiliated with any Department 56 retailers.

Friday November 3rd, 2017


For avid Department 56 collectors, when summer turns into fall, the first thing that springs into mind would probably be Department 56’s retirement list.   This year, the retirement date is Friday, November 3rd – this will be the day when Department 56 releases its list of products retiring from production.  When that day comes, make sure you go to Department 56’s web site to check for retirement information.

After a short hiatus, I have finally made some updates to this site.   Our latest newsletter has been posted on the Club Newsletter section.   Highlights for our last two meetings are now available in our Club Event section.  For those who enjoy attending Department 56 gatherings, I have added information for the upcoming event in the Chicago area.   You can read all about it in the Department 56 Collector Gathering section.

That’s it for now.   But stay tuned for the next update as I will write about a recent trip to the “World’s Largest Christmas Store”!
