Mini Christmas Village Above the Cabinets

Lit up Christmas village on top of kitchen cabinets

That space between your cabinets and the ceiling? Perfect for creating a glowing little holiday world. A mini Christmas village adds instant charm — with tiny houses, bottle brush trees, and warm lights that make your kitchen feel extra magical.

How to Style It

  • Start with a base: faux snow, a white runner, or a greenery garland
  • Use 4–6 inch houses, mini trees, and figurines to build the scene
  • Tuck in fairy lights or battery puck lights for a cozy nighttime glow
  • Group pieces in clusters (not a straight line) and vary the height using risers

Village Styling Tips

  • White ceramic houses = classic Christmas charm
  • Wood-tone homes + eucalyptus = minimalist Nordic town
  • Painted houses and retro figurines = colorful vintage toyland

Psst… Want the full styling breakdown, product tips, and visual inspiration? Check out the full Christmas village cabinet guide.
