Christmas Countdown Magic Mantle Centerpiece

The Christmas Countdown Magic Mantle was made by Dyno Seasonal Solutions (St. Nick's Choice) in 2017-2018. The mantle is decked out in a garland with holly berries on it, red and white stockings, a glass of milk with a plate of cookies sitting atop the mantle, and a classic shelf clock. The base also has a miniature drawer labeled "Letter to Santa" on it for the little ones to place their letters to Santa Claus inside. When activated, the fireplace lights up and the clock displays the number of days left until Christmas while an instrumental of "We wish you a merry Christmas" plays narrated over by Santa's voice with a charming phrase, followed by one of 3 songs: "Jingle bells", "Upon the housetop", and "Silent Night".
