Ride Into Christmas - HUM 396 2/0 HSC 69139093

A Timeless Journey to Find the Perfect Tree Every year, families share the tradition of visiting the forest to find that one special evergreen. Ride Into Christmas (HUM 396) captures the magic of that quest in a beautifully spirited scene. This young lad has successfully found the perfect tree; with the evergreen resting safely in his basket, he hops on his wooden sled and uses a glowing lantern to guide his way back home through the twilight. It is a quintessential celebration of "Winter Fun" and holiday determination.

First launched in the United States in 1972, this figurine quickly became one of the most iconic and recognizable pieces in the M.I. Hummel catalog. Hand-painted in Rödental, Germany, it features incredible attention to detail—from the texture of the pine needles on the tree to the rustic wood grain of the sled. This piece doesn't just decorate a room; it tells a story of the warmth and light we carry home during the winter season.
