The Platter That Steals the Show at Every Christmas Spread.

Charmed House Interiors · Kitchen

A joyful vintage-style Santa, hand-painted mid-wink with rosy cheeks and a sprig of holly, bordered by a cheerful red rim and a ring of green dotted trim. The words "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" sit quietly to one side — a nostalgic nod to the platters that came out year after year. Generously oval and ready to carry the cookies, the canapés, or the centrepiece roast, it's retro charm done with a genuinely lovely painterly hand.

Two Ways to Style It

As the dessert centrepiece. Pile it with iced biscuits or mince pies on a linen-clothed table, where Santa's face peeks through between servings.

Propped on a dresser or open shelf. Stand it upright behind a stack of plain white plates so the artwork reads as festive display when it's not in use.

The piece the family will ask for by name every December.
