Cheryl’s Jars & Cookies!

Checking out Cheryl’s Cookies shop is always a must for jar collectors. She (does Cheryl really exist?) usually has few seasonal pieces and when I have ordered, quality has always been great.

This Christmas there are several fun choices including a 12″ Penguin holding a cookie – $59.99. The Baking Santa cookie jar is holding a gingerbread house with cute holly trim on his suit and is a whopping 13″ high – $59.99.
Mrs. Claus, holding a tray of cookies, matches Santa with her holly-trimmed outfit. She is also 13″ high for $59.99.

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

CHRISTMAS JAR LISTS 2023

CHRISTMAS 2023
I’ve been compiling a list of new jars out for 2023. Yikes, it’s a long way to go especially when I am also fighting with a difficult website in the midst of a rebuild. Please bear with me as I try and figure this out.

  • POTTERY BARN
    A few jars with typical Christmas designs, but the one that will catch your attention is the Griswold house!

  • WORLD MARKET
    A little more affordable jars can be found on the World Market website. Now if anyone can figure out how to make the cute Christmas Cuckoo Clock jar into a real clock, let me know.

  • DISNEY CHRISTMAS
    It’s another license that is not producing like in the past, but a few new Christmas jars are floating around from Disney. Of course it’s not been easy finding them all and I know there are more to be discovered–somewhere.

  • NATIONAL LAMPOON
    There is not one, but two Griswold houses this Christmas season. Department 56 has a set of three different jars under the National Lampoon License. My favorite is Cousin Eddie’s RV car jar. The house is about half the price of the one from Pottery Barn, but cannot compare quality since I haven’t seen in real life. If you have, please share your thoughts.

  • Neiman Marcus
    A pink Nutcracker and an exclusive MacKenzie-Childs Candy cottage are the exclusives for Neimans this year. I’m pretty sure the cottage will be making it’s way to our shelves this year.

  • Cracker Barrel
    A fun little child-like elf clasping his knees is this year’s jar at the store and online.

  • At Home
    The first Christmas jar this year that was a must-have for me is the Elf on a Shelf cookie jar. I love the face, I love the size and I love the quality.

Department 56 National Lampoon 2023

Griswold Christmas House

It might be thirty-four years, but that hasn’t stopped the licensing from continuing. One of the classic Christmas movies has several licensed cookie jars this year — an exclusive Pottery Barn jar and a similar looking house jar from Department 56. The fun part are the go-withs from Department 56 includes Cousin Eddie’s RV in jar form, as well as Snots Dog Treat jar.

Griswold Snots Treat Jar

I’m loving the RV jar and not sure I have the words to describe the treat jar, this is a case where a picture is worth a thousand words.

Amazon is carrying all three jars with a discounted (below retail) price for Griswold’s house.
