Portmeirion is delighted to introduce Botanic Garden Christmas Holly, a new collection for 2026 that brings a refined festive flourish to the brand’s much-loved Botanic Garden heritage. Designed to capture the warmth and togetherness of the season, Botanic Garden Christmas Holly blends traditional Christmas motifs with a fresh, hand-painted watercolour style. Gentle green foliage, uplifting berry tones and charming botanical details create an inviting tableware collection that combines timeless charm with modern elegance. From quiet warming winter breakfasts to big Christmas Day tablescapes, the collection has been created to bring natural British wildlife and festive spirit to every occasion.
The designs offer an elegant way to layer a seasonal table, whether paired with wooden accents, natural greenery and candlelight, or mixed with classic Portmeirion pieces for a curated, personal look. Together, the range offers versatile gifting options for hosts, home cooks and collectors of Portmeirion’s distinctive botanical designs.
Rooted in Portmeirion’s enduring design heritage, the new collection comprises side, salad and dinner plates, a salad bowl, cereal bowls, latte mugs, espresso cups and the Bella Jug, with all pieces available in a mix of the Robin, Holly and Holly boarder styles. The collection also extends to kitchen accessories and textiles, with pieces such as the Botanic Garden Christmas Holly apron, tea towel, placemats, coasters and double oven glove for the budding bakers.
Botanic Garden Christmas Holly is a celebration of the craftsmanship and design heritage that have defined Portmeirion for generations. Made in Stoke-on-Trent, the collection reflects the skill of our artisans while introducing a new festive expression of Botanic Garden for today’s homes. The hand-painted feel of the holly, berries and robin motifs brings a sense of care and character to every piece, creating tableware that is designed to become part of the traditions people build around Christmas. It honours the familiarity and collectability our customers value, while offering a lighter, contemporary take that will resonate with a new generation of Portmeirion collectors.
At its heart, this launch is about keeping British ceramic heritage relevant: creating beautiful, functional pieces that can be used, gifted and enjoyed year after year.” Diane Clark, Group Senior Brand Manager at Portmeirion
