    No idea. It’s a mini electric tree light inside. 

    The hot chocolate tin is only £4 quid. 
    I would be pleased if it lasted over the festive season.

    Love the wee houses, my friend gave me something similar last Christmas, rather than lighting up it had a key on the roof to wind up and it played a tune 🎵❤  - still works
