2026 Reveal: Retro Christmas Elves by Joanne Wright Studio
Christmas may still be months away, but something magical is already stirring in Joanne Wright’s Kansas City studio.
Beyond the frosted windows of Santa’s workshop, where teddy bears are stitched with love, rocking horses await their next adventure, and toy trains are polished until they shine, three special elves are preparing for Christmas.
Meet the newest elves to join Santa’s North Pole Workshop.
Inspired by the whimsical charm of the mid-century holiday era, this delightful trio captures the wonder of a vintage Christmas and the enchantment of Santa’s workshop. With rosy cheeks, merry smiles, bright eyes, and festive attire, these cheerful companions look as though they’ve stepped straight from a beloved Christmas storybook.
Jingle (The Rocking Horse Wrangler) tends to a classic rocking horse, carrying the spirit of imagination and adventure, where every Christmas wish can become a grand journey and every dream a magical destination.
Twinkle (The Bear Keeper) lovingly cradles a cherished teddy bear and candy cane, watching over comfort, kindness, and the warm feeling of being home for the holidays.
Tinsel (The Train Master) proudly presents a bright red toy train, delivering the excitement, anticipation, and joyful surprises that make Christmas morning unforgettable.
Together, they represent the heart of the season: wonder, comfort, and excitement—the very magic that transforms ordinary December days into treasured Christmas memories.
Handcrafted with Joanne Wright’s signature blend of retro charm and storybook whimsy, Retro Christmas Elves celebrate a simpler time when favorite toys became lifelong friends, imagination knew no bounds, and Christmas felt filled with endless possibilities.
Whether welcomed into your collection individually or together as a complete trio, these merry helpers are ready to bring a touch of North Pole magic to your holiday home.
Some say Santa delivers the gifts.
But it’s Joanne who creates the magic.
