The first Mr. Christmas Marching Band is the best of the series. It started with 16 bells (8 marchers, 2 bells each). Later versions reduced the number of bells. We have a much later version which only has 4 bells. Mr. Christmas replaced the bells with midi player tones. Not nearly as wonderful. The original version has an LED light up inside the marcher when a bell is to be struck. This lights up the crescent on their hats. Santa too! Yet the later versions dispensed with this too. The original set has a large catalog of songs. Nothing says Christmas more to us than those Christmas bells ringing out your favorite Christmas songs!!

My Mom used to have a set of these when I was a kid, but through moving and the tests of time, they got ruined. We lost my Mom in October of 2021 to als at the young age of 60, so I’ll cherish these and take exceptional care of them and pull them out every Christmas in my Mom’s memory!!

I purchased original Santa's band, which broke. My kids talk about it every year. When I can no longer decorate, I am willing this to one of my sons. He will be thrilled. Such precious memories! Product wise: the wiring is rough, but the music is still magical.

I love this. I had one years ago and my Son and I were talking about it a few weeks ago. I purchased this for him for Christmas this year. He will LOVE IT!

The Mr. Christmas Santa's Marching Band Bell Ringer is exactly identical to the one I sent to the Salvation Army in the mid 1990s during a crazed "house cleaning" event.... a donation I have always regretted. This gizmo is absolutely delightful to watch and I'm glad to have it back again....
