Description :

Charming vintage Avon animated Santa figure featuring Santa seated in a green armchair, holding a book and cup—designed to resemble a cozy holiday storytelling scene. This piece is part of Avon’s collectible holiday décor line and is known for its nostalgic, animated features.

Perfect for holiday displays, collectors of Avon décor, or vintage Christmas enthusiasts.

Good vintage condition with normal age-related wear. Fabric, paint, and base show light use. Battery compartment is present (untested functionality—see photos).

Approx: 10”–12” tall
Base: approx 8” diameter

Historical Note & Estimated Value:
Avon produced a wide range of collectible holiday décor pieces in the late 20th century, many of which have become sought-after for their nostalgic appeal and craftsmanship. Animated Santa figures like this are especially popular among collectors.

Estimated value: $75–$125
