About Vintage Santa Collectibles and Figurines

Santa’s image is associated with a broad range of Christmas antiques and vintage decorations, from dolls and figurines to snowglobes, chocolate molds, dinnerware, Christmas tree ornaments, assorted paper and even Coca-Cola Christmas items (the company featured Santa prominently in its ads in the 1930s and beyond). Companies like Waterford and Woolco mass-produced Santa figurines for decades. And many other vintage Santa decorations are unique works of folk art, having been hand-crafted from paper mache and other materials.
