Best Christmas Dinnerware – Modern, Classic and Vintage Christmas Dinnerware Sets for Your Holiday Table

Gibson is a major player in the dinnerware, cookware, and flatware industry, and for good reason. This USA-based company produces dining and cooking items of high quality in a wide array of colors and patterns. Our pick is the Elite Winter Cottage set, which is a lovely 16-piece dinnerware set featuring red-on-white scenes of a quiet, snow-covered village at night.

The Elite Winter Cottage dinnerware set is constructed of durable and chip-resistant porcelain. The pieces are dishwasher safe, and can be used in the microwave and oven as well. This is a service for 4, which includes 10.5” dinner plates, 8” dessert plates, 5.5” bowls, and 12 oz. mugs.

In addition to the Elite Winter Cottage collection, Gibson makes a wide array of other Christmas, winter, and holiday-themed dinnerware sets. Here are a few of the ones we found on Amazon that would fit well:

• Gibson Home Christmas Toile
• Gibson Home Noble Poinsettia
• Gibson Christmas Elegance Gathering

Of course, Gibson also offers a huge range of non holiday specific dinnerware. If none of their Christmas collections appeal to you, solid red, white, or green can be festive options as well.

The great thing about Melange dinnerware is that the pieces are simple in terms of design, but they stand out because of their contrasting colors and clean lines. These are plates, bowls, and cups that will look lovely against a brightly colored tablecloth or a bare tabletop. 

From the holiday collection, we chose to feature the 16-piece Santa Comes Home set because it captures the playful spirit of the Christmas season while retaining the understated elegance that Melange is known for. The 16-piece set comes with 4 each 10 ½ inch dinner plates, 8 ½ inch salad plates, soup bowls, and mugs. All are dishwasher and microwave safe.  

Melange also has some winter and holiday dishware that don’t feature Santa. If that’s what you want, you may like one of these sets:

• Melange Winterberry Fox & Friends Coupe Porcelain Dinnerware Set
• Melange Bird in Forest Coupe Porcelain Place Dinnerware Set
• Melange Christmas Tree Collection Melamine Dinnerware Set
• Melange Christmas Collection Grey Holly Melamine Dinnerware Set
• Melange Christmas Collection Red Xmas Melamine Dinnerware Set

All of these sets give you dinnerware pieces with chip and crack-resistant design at an affordable price.

When you buy from Lenox, you know you are getting beautiful pieces that will last a lifetime. The company specializes in designing and producing aesthetically pleasing, high-quality collectibles, gifts, and home and kitchen items. Lenox stands behind the quality of its dinnerware with its breakage replacement program. If a piece of dishware breaks under conditions of normal use, the company will offer a replacement at half the suggested retail price.

If you want holiday dinnerware that will bring joy to your table year after year, Lenox is an excellent choice. We’ve chosen to feature the Holiday Gatherings collection. This collection features holly and berries on earthenware. For perfect customization, the pieces are available for individual purchase. You can get dinner plates, pasta bowls, fruit bowls, and more. Or choose the 12-piece set, which serves 4 and comes with dinner plates, salad plates, and mugs.

When it comes to the holiday pieces, Lenox offers of the most intricate and attractive designs available. We particularly likes these festive holiday dishware collections:

• Winter Greetings Plaid Collection by Lenox
• Holiday Tartan Collection by Lenox
• Winter Song Collection by Lenox
• Winter Greetings Collection by Lenox
• Simply Fine Scarlet Chirp Collection by Lenox

Lenox dishware may be available either in complete place settings or as individual pieces. There are also additional pieces available, such as fruit bowls and serving dishes.

If you love all things traditional, then Royal Albert likely has something to suit your tastes. Their dinnerware collections feature elegant, detailed flower motifs. The Old Country Rose Christmas Tree collection displays classically decorated Christmas trees on a background of red, yellow, and pink roses.

Each 5-piece place setting comes with a dinner plate, a salad plate, a dessert plate, and a teacup and saucer. The dishes in this set are dishwasher safe, but cannot be used in microwave or oven. You can get matching serveware and specialty pieces, including fruit bowls, platters, and cake stands. They even have flatware with the same intricate old country rose design.

Royal Albert also has a number of different dishware collections that you can enjoy year-round. Here are a few:

You can purchase place settings or individual pieces. There are also serving dishes, tea sets, and mugs available in some patterns.

Spode makes dinnerware in multiple patterns, colors, and materials. They also offer dishes in a range of prices, so you can be sure that you will find something to suit your budget. We are featuring the Christmas Tree Gold collection because the pieces are truly stunning with elegant gold borders.

This particular set comes with 10 ½ inch dinner plates, 8 inch salad plates, 6 ¼ inch bread plates, teacups, and saucers. All the pieces are made of fine bone china and could last a lifetime if handled properly. Of course, we know that 22K gold accented dishes aren’t for everyone. For those who want less flashy and less pricey dishes, Spode offers some pieces with the Christmas tree pattern and without the gold border.

Spode also offers an array of all-purpose dishware made from a variety of materials such as porcelain, earthenware, and bone china. A few collections we particularly liked include:

• Spode Blue Italian
• Spode Delamere
