About our brand

The Christmas Table

Christmas is the table everyone dresses up for. This collection gathers everything you need to set a festive, layered Christmas table — red-and-gold and blue-and-white dinnerware, gilded flatware, crystal glassware, candlelight, and centerpieces — all in fine porcelain, ceramic, and glass made to be used season after season, not boxed up after one dinner.

Whether your Christmas table setting leans traditional red-and-gold, cool coastal blue-and-white, or quiet elegant neutral, every piece here is chosen to layer into a coordinated holiday place setting.

Christmas Centerpiece Ideas

Keep the Christmas centerpiece low so guests can see across the table: a meandering line of taper candles and candelabras woven with bud vases holding single stems of eucalyptus, berries, or evergreen. Candlelight does most of the work.

Caring for Your Dinnerware Set

Most Mellow dinnerware sets are dishwasher and microwave safe — each product page confirms specifics. Sets with gold or platinum rim detailing should be hand-washed and kept out of the microwave to preserve the metallic finish. Stack plates with felt or paper separators to prevent surface scratching, especially on glossy or gilded pieces. Avoid sudden temperature changes — a cold plate going straight into a hot oven can crack even high-quality porcelain.

Want the fully matched look? Start from a coordinated dinnerware set and layer in accents. For more inspiration, see our holiday hosting plates guide.

Frequently asked questions

How do you set a Christmas table?

Layer a charger, dinner plate, and salad plate at each seat, with flatware framing the plates and glassware above the knife. Add a low centerline of candles and greenery, plus a name card or napkin detail for the festive touch. New to formal settings? Our how to set a table guide shows exactly where every fork, knife, and glass belongs.

What plates are best for a Christmas table?

Red-and-white (Cherry Chinoiserie, Scarlet Lace), gilded gold-rim (Tuscany Gilded), and blue-and-white (Coastal Chinoiserie) all read as festive. Layer a patterned plate over a neutral charger for depth.

What's a simple Christmas centerpiece?

A low line of taper candles and candelabras woven with bud vases of eucalyptus, berries, or evergreen — elegant, glowing, and low enough to talk across.

How many pieces per place setting?

A festive Christmas setting uses a charger, dinner plate, salad/dessert plate, flatware, and a glass. Most plates come as sets of 4, so two sets covers eight.
