Why We Love a Red & White Holiday Palette

Red and white is the color story of childhood wonder and grown-up sophistication. It’s classic without feeling stuffy, and cheerful without being over the top. In a season where homes fill with guests, baking projects, therapy sessions, pets, and joyful chaos, this palette stays grounded, warm, and inviting—just how we like it.


A Closer Look at the Collection

✨ The Tabletop: Where Holiday Memories Begin

There’s nothing more welcoming than a table dressed for the season.

  • A festive red gingham tablecloth sets the tone with instant charm—whimsical yet polished.

  • Crisp cotton napkins - always nice to know there is a full, beautiful set ready to go for impromptu dinners, or special gatherings alike.  

  • What is better than having a drawer full of new, cheerful, unstained dishtowels?  These give your kitchen a holiday hit of happiness.  
  • The red-rimmed dinnerware adds a cheery pop to your meals, making even Tuesday night pasta feel like a celebration.  As a child of the 1970s, Corelle is pretty much bulletproof, and is basically unbreakable for all of those bustling family gatherings.  

  • Fluted glassware brings that soft-glow magic every table needs, catching candlelight in the loveliest way.  Perfect for water, sangria or a generous pour of wine, these elevate your whole table scape.

  • And speaking of candles—our glossy white taper holders paired with classic red tapers are the definition of simple elegance.  Pepper the candle holders down the center of your table, and your table is all set for a wonderful holiday dinner.

Always good to buy in bulk, having a fresh box of tapers in your drawer means you can enjoy them through the whole season with family and friends.This tablescape is family-friendly, holiday-ready, and absolutely joyful.


🎄 The Tree: Cozy, Classic, and Full of Heart

If you’ve been hunting for the perfect artificial Christmas tree, the kind that looks natural and full—even before you hang a single ornament—this one is a winner.

We start with a wonderful, artificial tree that has the look and irregular beauty of a natural tree. 


We paired it with:

  • A cozy knit tree skirt in that perfect cranberry hue.  This one has handmade-looking charm and coziness.  

  • A strand of soft, white pom-pom garland adds miles of texture and interest to your tree.  

  • Knit ornaments that have a handmade, heirloom feel

Your tree becomes a focal point that feels warm, nostalgic, and completely at home with the rest of your décor.  All you need is cup of cocoa, and you can sit down an enjoy looking at your beautiful, new tree!  


🎁 The Finishing Touches

Holiday magic lives in the details - you know you will need more wrapping paper than you ever imagined.  This nostalgic print is printed on a light craft paper ground, and the combination feels new and not stuffy.  

  • Classic Santa gift wrap brings a wink of vintage charm to every present.

  • Easy kraft gift tags simplify your wrapping station (you’ll thank yourself later!).

  • Fresh, fun red potholders brighten your baking zone.  We know when you are transporting your steaming hot dishes of food to your table or sideboard, you won't want to throw down those old, stained potholders, so let's stock up on these cherry red beauties to keep the cozy-but-polished holiday vibe going.  

  • Velvet bow tree décor adds that timeless, designer-level polish and warmth.  These are equally beautiful on your tree, mantel or packages.

  • And our favorite bamboo-handled silverware? It transitions beautifully from holiday hosting to every day. A small upgrade that makes your “happy house” sparkle.

  • Adding a little seasonal greenery to a doorway or mantel spreads the coziness beyond the Christmas tree.  This garland has the look and feel of real pine garland, without the fuss.
