So we have some holiday sad news and some holiday glad news in our house. The sad news is that we decided to skip the Christmas tree this year. We have two terribly crazy rambunctious kittens and the combination of nutso cats and a big ‘ol tree with fragile ornaments can only spell disaster.
The glad news is that we just got something that will bring the holiday cheer to our living room and help make up for the lack of tree: Hallmark’s Interactive Musical Christmas Concert Snowmen and The Conductor.
Let me just saw that this is the absolute cutest holiday decor I have seen in ages. It is so fun! It is a set of 21 stackable snowmen that all join together to play little concerts complete with awesome light effects. The set even includes The Conductor who “leads” the show.
I’ll show you the video I took, which gives you an idea of how cool it is, but keep in mind that smartphone video in a dimly lit room is NOT very good quality. It really doesn’t do the show justice! You can also see the “official” video below mine.
I was so excited about the snowmen that I had to face time with my hubby (who is currently in South America for work) to show him how cute they were. Even my big manly husband said it was his favorite Christmas decoration that I have EVER gotten. That is high praise!
The set runs on AAA batteries, so you can set it anywhere you like and don’t have to worry about a cord. There are several choices for playing the snowmen – my favorite is the intermittent mode where every 3 minutes or so they will turn on and give you a sound and light show. There are 21 different songs in all!
To make the set play in Continuous mode, press and hold the button on the conductor or any snowman section for 4 seconds. The snowmen will then perform every 2-3 minutes. Press and hold again to turn off continuous play.
Hallmark’s Interactive Musical Christmas Concert Snowmen and The Conductor is available exclusively at Hallmark Gold Crown stores nationwide and at Hallmark.com.
Estelle S says
I love how cute they are! It’s also a plus that it plays so many songs. My whole family would love listening to this, even the bigger kids!
LynneMarie says
I would use it to brighten up my apartment as I too don’t have a tree because of a very rambunctious cat (she’s 5 and still as wild as she was as a kitten, haven’t had a tree since 2009 thanks to her).
Erica B. says
I like all the colors and music.
Paula Hafner says
I have played with them in the store. I love how bright and cheery they are. It’s a bonus that they play music!
Lisa V. says
I think my baby grandchild would get a kick out of the snowmen.
Dave L says
My youngest nephew would love this. He is autistic and fascinated by things with motion and lights. He gets so excited watching the train circle under the Christmas tree or watching my mother’s animated holiday displays, especially the Peanuts characters who skate around in circles while the Charlie Brown music plays. He will also turn all the lights off in the house to watch the Christmas lights cycle through their pattern. I might have to buy this! Thank you for the chance to win. Happy holidays!
Lorena Keech says
I love it because I collect snowmen and this would be a great addition. How great is it that it plays 21 songs?
Kathleen Kuykendall says
I love the light show to the music. Most of the time you get the lights or music, but this time Hallmark has included both! Hope to win this for my daughter!
Robin says
I would love to watch my son’s face light light up watching the snowman.
Audra O'Hara says
I like that it doesn’t have a cord, so we could put it as a centerpiece on our dining room table. My daughter would love all the different songs; she loves Christmas music! Such a cute decoration for the holidays.
Julie P. says
Oh my goodness, this is so adorable! This definitely brings the holiday spirit into the home–love it!
Denise Welch says
This is so cute love to have in my home where family and friends can enjoy to.
Rosanne says
I love that they play a concert. My 5 grandchildren would love a decoration that does something. Usually it’s don’t touch.
Allyson Bossie says
My ex father in law loves Halmark musical toys and this is right up his alley. I would use this to light up his Christmas from the kids, and I love how many different songs it plays!
Jessica Lewis says
I love the many different song choices it has. I would put it on my mantle
