Cracker Barrel Elf
The second Elf to appear this year is from Cracker Barrel. A cute little guy sitting in a typical kid style, hands around his knees just waiting for the next adventure.
At 11.5″ high, it’s a good-sized jar.
Price is $24.99

World Market Christmas 2023
When you’re looking for a fun cookie jar, that is just a little bit different, check out the World Market website. We are not lucky enough to have one nearby, so I can shop in the middle of the night and not worry about traffic. And if you are on a budget, World Market is great. All the jars shown here are $29.99.
The Scandinavian-look Santa is different enough too catch my eye. He has a cute expression and my “Santa-eye” problem doesn’t factor in, as they are closed in glee. He is 10.5″ tall.
I LOVE the Holiday Cuckoo clock jar and if I could figure out how to add clockworks to the front of the jar, it would be a definite BUY for me. The different look is a definite plus in the cookie jar world and reminds of the California Originals Cuckoo clock jar. The jar is 11″ high.
When you have a friend who has the most extensive collection of Penguin cookie jars, one pays attention to the jar, even if not a collector. This is a new one and it’s probably already in her collection. The simple lines on Polar Party Penguin make it a cute jar and at 11″ high fits in with the other jars here.
Last but not least, is Polar Party Snowman. Slightly smaller than the rest of the World Market jars, but the same simple lines can make it a good addition to a Snowman collection.
Pottery Barn Christmas Jars 2023
It’s always hard to resist and/or choose what new jars I might want to add to the collection. Sometimes it’s easy to pick, other times . . . .
Pottery Barn
The big news is that for 2023 Pottery Barn is debuting a collection of Christmas Lampoon items. Soft pieces, an advent calendar, pjs and even the Cat Pillow. The house cookie jar looks great in the pictures, but I haven’t seen it in person. $109.
Pottery Barn’s other Christmas. jars were at the local store — and they were definitely impressive.
If you’re a Christmas collector, you probably have at least one Christmas tree jar. This was a HUGE jar at 13″ and I really think I will be adding it to my Christmas tree cookie jar category.
The Gingerbread House was a simple stoneware design and fits the Pottery Barn look. The jar reminds me of the old stoneware pieces from years ago.
I’m not really a gnome fan, but the gnome was simple, beautiful and HUGE. I’ll be definitely thinking about this gnome to my limited gnome family of jars.
The only disappointment in the group is Santa. I know, I know, how can I be disappointed in Santa? This was a simple design, but my problem is the eyes. Just didn’t have the twinkle that Santa’s eyes should have. To put it simply, it could have been a jar found at a Walmart, nothing special that says it’s from Pottery Barn. Disclaimer: I didn’t handle the jar, so it could be beautifully made, but just didn’t care enough to check it out.
Disney Christmas 2023
Over the years dozens of Disney themed cookie jars have been added to our shelves, but so far this year has been a little sparse. I’m pretty sure there will be more to be added to the list as the holidays get closer.
The Christmas Pooh Santa looks familiar, I’m pretty sure it’s been around before, but in case you’ve missed it check it out on Amazon. It’s produced by Zrike Brands, producers of numerous licenses oover the years. The jar is tall at over 13″ and sells for $49.95.
I stumbled upon the Santa Stitch at TJMaxx stores. Fun looking jar with a price of around $39. Check out your TJ Maxx and Ross Department stores for the occasional jar, it’s one of the those places that if you see it, get it! It won’t be there the next time.
The only jar on this list that is actually at online Disney store is the Snowman Mickey. The over 11″ Snowman sells for $64.95, but if you use Rakuten to get a healthy cash back rebate it’s like getting it on sale.
Note: I’ve literally been using Rakuten since 2012 and have received back over $2000. in rebates, it’s super easy and I’ve never heard any complaints about it. Rebate amounts change all the time, but right now Disney Shop is at 8%, Macy’s at 8% and Neiman Marcus is 10%.
