Christmas tableware and accessories
A festive dinner and coffee over the holidays deserve tableware that matches your Christmas decorations. Christmas tableware and accessories include plates, mugs, bowls and serving platters with mistletoe, reindeer, snowflake or gingerbread designs, tiered cake stands and biscuit tins, as well as coasters and other small touches that complete the festive table.
Christmas tableware and accessories
Festive tableware only comes out a few times a year, which is exactly why it stands out. Pieces with Christmas designs can turn even an ordinary breakfast or afternoon tea into a small celebration.
Christmas plates and mugs are most often made from porcelain, stoneware or ceramic. Porcelain is thin, light and elegant, while stoneware and ceramic look more rustic and hold heat better, which hot chocolate and mulled wine lovers will appreciate. For hand-painted pieces, it is worth checking whether they are dishwasher safe.
Tiered cake stands and serving platters are ideal for Christmas treats, letting you serve several kinds at once. Biscuit tins with a tight-fitting lid keep biscuits crisp and fresh throughout the holidays.
Accessories such as coasters or bowls for nuts and sweets give the table a coordinated look. When choosing, it helps to stick to one colour scheme, such as classic red and green, gold and white or a Scandinavian style with natural motifs. A Christmas mug with a festive design also makes a popular small gift.
