Why spend hours trawling the thrift stores when Joanna Gaines' festive collection is serving up perfect vintage-style tableware? – Here's what I'm shopping now
From etched glass to polished brass and embroidered linens, Magnolia's Christmas tableware is brimming with festive nostalgia


It's always exciting when one of your favorite brands releases a new collection, especially – for a festive fanatic like myself - when it happens to be a Christmas collection. Add Joanna Gaines into the mix and I'm jumping for joy – enter Magnolia's holiday tabletop collection.
We might only be halfway through September, but I'm already planning my Christmas decorating ideas. Naturally, I've been hoping that Joanna Gaines would provide some inspiration, and Magnolia's 2025 holiday decor collection is every bit as elegant and magical as I'd hoped it would be.
The real magic of the Magnolia collection lies in its vintage-inspired charm. Anyone who loves decorating with vintage ceramics will know that hunting for gems at thrift stores and flea markets can be a real labor of love, antique-style pieces like Magnolia's Christmas tableware can be equally (if not more) appealing, and you don't need to spend hours searching for it.
From etched glass detailing to bronze accents, each piece has that antique, hand-crafted look, giving it a timeless feel that will elevate any tablescape. There are plenty of Christmas staples, of course (I love the festive plaid reversible table runner and the candy cane cocktail stirrers), but I've selected nine of my absolute favorites below.
Shop Magnolia's Christmas tableware
I love the embroidery on this table runner – while it's certainly festive, it's versatile enough to show off at any gathering. The scalloped trim is a lovely finishing touch, too.
I've been rather preoccupied by all the kitchenware in Joanna Gaines' new cooking show, and this brass cake stand is particularly gorgeous. There's no better way to display your Christmas cookies.
Plaid? For Christmas? It's essential in my book. The contrasting prints on these placemats are guaranteed to bring nostalgic charm to any tablescape.
I may just have let out an audible gasp when I spotted this cake stand; the etched glass dome is so beautiful, and I'll be showing this off on my countertop all year round.
You simply can't go wrong with the scalloped decor from Magnolia, and these napkins are no exception. Combine the berry-red hue with a lace finish and you've got a boho-inspired festive staple.
This delightful plate would layer perfectly with both crisp neutrals and statement prints – it's exactly the kind of country grandmother-inspired tableware that I've been looking for.
Pair these placemats with the Moss Green Eleanor Embroidered Table Runner and you'll have a perfectly coordinated tablescape. I'd finish it off with plenty of brushed brass accents.
Looking for home bar ideas to transform your Christmas entertaining? I'll be serving my festive drinks in these handsome glasses – although I've got my eye on the Vivan Cut Glass Stemware, too.
I love a deep green palette from fall through to the festive season, but I haven't come across anything quite like this before, with its almost Gothic-style pastoral print.
The arrival of Magnolia's holiday tabletop collection proves that it's never too early to channel the festive spirit. I've already got plenty of timeless Christmas decorating ideas on the go – and alongside Joanna Gaines' pieces, I've been eyeing up Pottery Barn's Christmas tableware collection for 2025. I plan to mix and match my favorite pieces to create a personalized, yet perfectly styled tablescape.
