For the host who’s ready for every occasion, a new holiday calls for new tableware. Why settle for everyday plates when you could enjoy Christmas dinner on ones striped like candy canes and rimmed in gold? It’s an expensive habit, but with H&M Home’s holiday collection starting at just $3.99 (yes, for porcelain!), we can all afford to be a little less Grinchy about splurging on a once-a-year plate set.
And it’s not just plates — the collection includes all the Christmas table decor essentials to dazzle this season: cherry-red stoneware servers with playful beaded rims, sparkling celestial napkin rings, ruffle-textured runners, and champagne coupes for a glamorous toast. Mind you, everything I just mentioned is under $30 — less than my lunch salad in NYC! And that means you can easily dress a table for dinner service for under $100. Take it from a style editor: nowhere else can this be done so chicly.
So, if you’re (snow)balling on a budget this season — or just looking for elevated Christmas decorating ideas — H&M Home has you covered. This year, we're entertaining with elegance. Here’s everything on my wishlist.
Price: $17.99
Table runners often steal the spotlight in a tablescape, sometimes they're so good they make tablecloths optional. This ruffle-trim table runner in a rich, soothing evergreen is one of those hero pieces. Made from 100% cotton, it’s the perfect complement to the other ruffled table accessories I know you already have (or soon will).
Price: $9.99/set of 2
Full disclosure: I bought these celestial napkin rings for myself. I’ve always loved stars — any time of year — but especially at Christmastime. They add just the right amount of shimmer, looking effortlessly glamorous beside lit candles and under ambient lighting. Honestly, forget the holidays — you’ll catch me using these beauties well into June.
Price: $17.99/set of 2
The purpose of a pretty placemat is twofold. First, practicality — because let’s face it, people are messy. If you’ve gone with a white tablecloth, a placemat will save you from total despair when someone inevitably spills their red wine or dribbles gravy. Second, aesthetics. Layering is key to a polished tablescape, and as the base piece, a placemat anchors the setting beautifully.
Price: $14.99/set of 2
Special occasions call for special glassware, and what says "celebrate" better than a couple of coupes? Perfect for toasting with family and friends, these elegant glasses are just as appropriate for Christmas gatherings as they are for the fast-approaching NYE celebrations. Pro tip: some customers are already ordering extra sets — smart move.
Price: $9.99/set of 4
"Tea? Coffee, anyone?" Is my favorite phrase to hear as the dinner party concludes — there’s nothing like sipping a warm beverage as you relax and digest. And if the host served my brew with these stunning gold spoons, I’d be seriously impressed. Pair them with other gold accents for a cohesive look, or use them as a chance to play with mixed metals. Either way, they’re a luxe touch.
Price: $29.99
Santa’s sick of paper plated cookies — step up your game this season with these shimmery gold-patterned plates, complete with a matching gold rim. Their geometric lines give them a luxe look, like something you’d find in a boutique in Italy. Perfect not only for cookies but also for hors d’oeuvres or tea service, holding cups, sugar, and cream with flair.
Price: $9.99
Stoneware always carries a sense of nostalgia with its weighty, substantial feel, and this bead-rimmed bowl is no exception. Its cheerful cherry-red hue feels like home, making it ideal for soups, porridge, or salads. And when the guests leave? It’s just as lovely holding something more casual — like your morning cereal. Also available in white.
Price: $9.99
Small plates are the ultimate cheat code for a polished tablescape. Sitting at the top of the plate stack, they draw all the attention, making them an easy way to give your everyday white dinner plates a festive upgrade. These ones, rimmed in classic red, add just the right amount of pizzazz and holiday charm — plus, they’re versatile enough to pull out for year-round occasions (too soon to think about the Fourth of July? Never).
Price: $17.99
You know the drill: you host, guests bring treats, and before you know it, you’re outnumbered by desserts! Enter this chic bamboo-detail cake cutter. Its vintage-inspired design looks straight out of a wealthy grandma’s Palm Beach estate circa 1960. Reviewers rave about its quality. Take the cake? You got it.
