What better way to celebrate as we prepare for one of our family's favorite seasons than by releasing new products to add to our timeless holiday designs?

Whether you want to complete your collection or are just starting out, we have you covered. Discover more about the importance of setting a holiday table, grow your Christmas serveware and dinnerware collections, and find commemorative ornaments perfect for you and your family with our sneak peek into our newest holiday product additions.

What's the Best Way to Elevate Your Home for the Holidays?

Holiday traditions can vary from family to family, but in ours, we believe that creating beautiful and festive spaces is a must. Christmas brings cheer and excitement to all, and using tablescapes, ornaments, and more that fit the occasion helps reflect that in your home. Switching out your dishes and linens, adding new personalized ornaments to your tree, designing an intricate Christmas village, or setting out your stockings above the fireplace are all loving touches that make spirits bright.

Even if you've been using the same decorations for years, adding a few new Christmas designs this season will help make the holidays more special. Your children will grow up remembering your reindeer platter fondly, and the commemorative ornaments designed to celebrate their achievements will become memory capsules, helping them reminisce as they grow up. Every new holiday product helps us celebrate our family.

The Importance of Setting a Holiday Table

Some of our most cherished memories happen during the holidays while sitting around the table together. Whether we're planning an ideal Christmas table setting for extended family and friends or enjoying Christmas cookies with our kids, setting the table with holiday dinnerware and serveware enhances that festive atmosphere. We take pride in designing items you and your loved ones can gather around year after year.  

When it comes time to design a tablescape, it's important to feature seasonal dishes. Some decide to invest in a complete collection, so they're always ready for the company to come over and a cohesive look to be available. Others mix holiday dishes with everyday collections to create a unique table setting. No matter your style, we find having at least a few Christmas dinnerware items you love makes all the difference.   

Why We Love Commemorative Ornaments

There is always a sense of joy and excitement that surrounds us during the holiday season. The festive food, merry tunes, cheerful décor, and the many gatherings that take place during this time are something our family looks forward to. Even though the holidays may look different every year, trimming and decorating the tree with personalized ornaments stays steadfast and important in our family's traditions.

Every year, we celebrate new milestones, big and small, and we love to commemorate those precious moments with personalized ornaments on our trees. Whether we're welcoming a new baby into the family or a new marriage (both of which we're celebrating this year!) or simply celebrating another year well spent, we don specialized Johnson Family annual ornaments in our homes. 

A collection of personalized ornaments tells the story of your family. With whimsical and bright designs, each ornament immortalizes cherished moments in our homes and gives us more memories to look back on every year. That's why we've designed a few more beautiful pieces to add to your ornament boxes this season.

Why Choose the Balsam and Berry Collection?

Our Balsam and Berry Collection has been a popular choice for years—and rightfully so. With classic Christmas colors, the hand-illustrated designs are inspired by mixed textures and winter greenery. We enjoy featuring these stylish pieces in our home all season long, whether by hanging the Christmas serving platters up for décor or setting a table with them for one of the many winter holiday gatherings.

New Christmas in the Village Additions

Christmas in the Village Footed Bowl

Serving bowls are the key to hosting friends and family, so we created the Christmas in the Village 9” Bowl to help you through the countless occasions during the holiday season! With a picturesque scene of chimney smoke pluming out of colorful homes, pine trees, and an ice-skating rink, this bowl sets the tone on any table.
