Jon Cryer, renowned for his role in “Two and a Half Men,” takes his holiday decorating to the next level with an elaborate Christmas village that extends throughout his living room. In a recent interview, the 59-year-old actor shared his passion for creating intricate themed villages, typically inspired by cities like Los Angeles, Paris, and London. However, this year, Cryer is opting for a classic “Americana” theme.
Cryer’s dedication to detail is evident in his meticulous construction of the village, which involves far more than simply arranging store-bought pieces. He incorporates approximately 50 figurines, houses, and intricate landscaping, complete with lighting and miniature carnival rides. A standout feature is a functioning ski lift that traverses a custom-built ski slope. Cryer’s wife, Lisa Joyner, confirmed the extent of the display, noting that it often spills onto the floors of their living room.

Cryer’s creativity extends beyond commercially available components. For his Los Angeles-themed village, he utilized a 3D printer to recreate iconic landmarks such as the Cinerama Dome, Disney Hall, City Hall, and even the Nakatomi Plaza from the movie “Die Hard,” complete with a miniature helicopter suspended above the building. A friend even contributed a replica of LAX airport. This commitment to authenticity highlights Cryer’s passion for his unique holiday tradition.
Cryer doesn’t rely solely on purchased items; he often crafts custom pieces. He revealed his use of a 3D printer to create specific buildings for his themed villages, showcasing his dedication to detail and personalization. This hands-on approach transforms his Christmas village into a truly unique and impressive display. The intricate details, from miniature figurines to custom-made landmarks, showcase Cryer’s artistic talents and passion for the holiday season.

While Cryer and Joyner, who married in 2007, don’t have young children at home, they do share their living space with two rescue dogs. Despite the potential for canine-induced chaos, the couple shared that their dogs have been remarkably respectful of the elaborate Christmas village, understanding its off-limits status. This suggests a well-trained duo and a testament to the dogs’ understanding of household rules. The couple jokingly acknowledged the potential for disaster if the dogs were to disrupt the carefully constructed display.
