The holiday season is all about joy, celebration, and gathering with friends and family. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner or a festive get-together, the secret to a memorable event lies in the little details. That’s where Brian’s curated holiday hosting essentials come in. From elegant porcelain to cozy flannel bedding, each item will make your home the perfect backdrop for cherished moments and warm memories this holiday season.

The Entertaining Essential

Made from durable porcelain with a refined design, the Catering collection is Brian’s go-to for parties all year round, but especially during the holidays. Each 12-piece set stacks neatly on a kitchen island for buffet service and packs away easily into its boxes when the party’s over.

The Casual Touch

Whether setting up a full buffet or laying out bread and charcuterie for a few friends, Brian loves to layer wood serving bowls and boards with crisp white china or porcelain. It warms up the table and brings a relaxed, effortless vibe to the setting.

The Festive Place Card

Brian loves adding a festive touch to the holiday table with an individual ornament at each place setting. You can easily recreate this at home—simply write your guest’s name on the ornament or attach a small name card. It’s a charming keepsake your guests can take home.

The Luxurious Glass

For a touch of glamour, the Windsor glassware collection is perfect. Its carved glass design feels elegant and special, whether it’s for cocktail hour or a quiet evening in.

The Go-To Glass

Crafted from German-made, lead-free crystal, the Fete glassware collection offers brilliant clarity and a classic design. It’s a must-have on Brian’s holiday table throughout the season.

The Versatile Detail

The Portuguese-made Belgian linen in the Lafayette collection adds a beautiful layer to any holiday table. Available in a variety of neutral shades as well as a festive red, the collection includes tablecloths, runners, placemats, and napkins. Easy to care for, these linens can be tossed in the wash. Brian will iron them for formal occasions or leave them casually wrinkled for a more laid-back feel.

The Ultra Soft Staple

The Perfect towel collection truly lives up to its name. Made from super soft, absorbent cotton modal and available in a range of on-trend colours, it’s an easy way to refresh your guest bathroom for the season.

The Coziest Bed

Portuguese flannel is ideal for the guest bedroom, keeping loved ones snug on chilly winter nights. With its cashmere-like softness and quality, the fabric feels luxuriously gentle against the skin.
