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.

The tablecloth is the largest piece of color in the room, so choose it first and build everything else around it. A natural beige or milk cloth is a calm base for red and green accents. Basil green and sage feel classic and festive on their own. For a round or oval table, see our Christmas round linen tablecloth, and for a long family table, the rectangular linen tablecloth. Both are sewn to order, so you can write your table size and the drop you want when you order.
If you love the look of your wooden table, skip the cloth and lay a linen table runner down the center instead. A red runner over a white or green tablecloth is also one of the easiest ways to make an everyday table look like Christmas.

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

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.

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.

A folded napkin turns every plate into a small gift. Here are three of our favorite festive folds:

Step-by-step instructions for all three, plus linen roses, candles and no-fold ideas, are in our guide How to Fold Napkins for Christmas.
Our Christmas & New Year linen napkins come in wine, classic red, basil, sage, green, hunter, white, natural beige, honey gold, silver grey and black, in cocktail, lunch and dinner sizes.
Guests always end up in the kitchen, so let it join the celebration. A red or green linen towel on the oven door is a small detail that makes the whole room feel festive, and it is the towel you will actually use while cooking. See our Christmas linen kitchen towels.

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