This is such a cool LEGO globe! The detail is superb, the drawer works very well (although it may stick at times), and the globe does come with a Santa minifigure. The globe does have snow elements to shake, so it does resemble a snowglobe. The color scheme is bright and colorful with the gold, red, white, green, etc. If you can get this set, I highly recommend it! I have it out on display for Christmas.
