We also love the Birchwood Pine and Classic Holiday fragrances.

Each holiday season for nearly half a century, the folks at Royal Copenhagen ask several Danish celebrities to each decorate a holiday table. This year’s theme was “Songs of Christmas” as all of the celebrities were singers. We love their designs – some classic, some modern, and all beautifully celebrating the holiday spirit.

We hope they inspire you in your own holiday table settings!

We hope you enjoyed the holiday tables! If you happen to be traveling in or around Denmark, you can view them in person at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store on Amagertorv 6, 1160 Copenhagen K through the end of December.
