A Christmas Table to Remember

Christmas dinner is the meal we plan for weeks, and the table sets the tone for the whole evening. Linen brings exactly what the season needs: warmth, texture and a natural elegance that feels special without trying too hard. It also makes your table part of a tradition, because good linen lasts for years of Christmases.

Explore our Christmas & New Year collection for napkins, placemats, runners and tablecloths in festive colors.

3 Christmas Table Styles

1. Traditional Red & Green

The timeless Christmas combination. Use classic red napkins on green linen placemats, or reverse it with evergreen napkins on a natural beige tablecloth. Add fresh fir branches, pinecones, red berries and gold candlesticks for a warm, family-style table.

2. Nordic Winter

For a calm, Scandinavian-inspired look, choose white, light grey and sage linens. Combine them with white ceramics, wooden chargers, simple greenery and lots of candles. It feels fresh and peaceful, perfect for Christmas morning brunch.

3. Rustic Natural

Natural beige linen with hunter or basil green accents, dried oranges, cinnamon sticks and brown paper place cards. Cozy, eco-friendly and beautiful in every light.

Christmas Napkin Ideas

  • The Christmas tree fold: fold a large dinner napkin into a layered triangle for a playful tree shape. A 20" or 22" napkin works best.
  • Ribbon and greenery: roll the napkin, tie it with a velvet ribbon and tuck in a sprig of fir or rosemary.
  • Personal touch: use a small ornament or a handwritten tag as a napkin ring that doubles as a place card and a little gift for each guest.

Our Christmas & New Year linen napkins come in classic red, green, hunter, basil, white, natural beige, honey gold, silver grey and black, in cocktail, lunch and dinner sizes.

Linen Gifts They Will Actually Use

Looking for a meaningful, sustainable Christmas gift? Linen is useful, beautiful and gets better with time:

Why Linen Is Perfect for the Holidays

Our linen is made from 100% European flax and is OEKO-TEX® certified. It is strong, absorbent and machine washable, so it can handle roast dinners, gravy and mulled wine. And every time you wash it, it becomes softer.

Plan Ahead

December is our busiest month. We recommend ordering early and checking the estimated delivery date on each product page, especially for custom sizes and embroidered orders.

Create your festive table with our Christmas & New Year collection, or order fabric samples to see the colors in person.
