Pull Up a Stool at Kris Kringle’s Happy Hour Lounge.

Charmed House Interiors · Kitchen/Bar

This oval serving bowl has a retro diner look, with green-and-cream candy stripes around the rim. In the centre, Kris Kringle’s Happy Hour Lounge is written in cheerful red script under a scatter of mid-century starbursts. A speckled finish gives it a vintage, well-loved charm that makes holiday entertaining feel playful.

Style note — the bar cart: Fill it with olives, cocktail cherries or citrus twists next to the shaker.

Style note — the coffee table: Pile it high with mixed nuts or candy canes for guests to share.

Last call is never before midnight on Christmas Eve.

Two Ways to Style It

On a retro holiday bar cart. Pair it with vintage coupes, a striped straw jar and a little tinsel for a playful, mid-century feel.

On a festive buffet table. Set it beside red-and-green serving pieces and fill it with crisps or popcorn for a fun party spread.
