The Eleanor Bowmer Christmas Collection 2026 is here. It's our biggest festive range yet: colourful Christmas tableware, mugs, decorations, kitchen textiles, cards, wrap, gifts and matching family pyjamas, all built around one story we're calling Dear Santa.
Dear Santa is for the believers. Not just the children, but the grown-ups who never quite let the magic go. The ones who still write the list in their heads, who fill the house with cinnamon and wonder, and who want Christmas morning to feel the way it always did.
This is the first post in our Christmas series. Below, we'll walk you through the design story behind the collection and every corner of the range, from the Christmas Eve plate to the candy stripe tablecloth. Shop the full Christmas collection here.
Childhood nostalgia, grown up. Think of the letter you wrote to Santa, the glow of the tree in the front room, and the mince pie left out on Christmas Eve. Those moments shaped the illustrations, the handwritten-style lettering and the wish-list details running through the range.
Santa snacking. The Christmas Eve ritual is at the heart of the collection. Our Big Nick Christmas Eve Plate and Dear Santa Mug & Snack Plate were made for the milk, the cookies and the carrot for the reindeer.
Christmas in full colour. This is Eleanor Bowmer, so there's no beige Christmas here. Candy stripes, harlequin patterns, checkerboard, pink and green bows and bold reds sit together in a palette designed to be mixed, layered and collected year after year.
Never stop believing. That's the message we want you to carry from the first advent door to Christmas morning. Because Christmas at home feels magical when you make it that way, and every piece in this collection is here to help you do it.

Christmas kitchen textiles: festive from the oven to the table
Our kitchen textiles bring the Jolly Santa and Dear Santa prints into the busiest room of the house on Christmas Day.
- Jolly Santa Apron and Jolly Santa Double Oven Glove for whoever's on turkey duty.

Tea towels and tins also make easy host gifts if you're visiting someone else's house this year.
Christmas cards and wrap: the finishing touches
We've designed over 30 Christmas cards this year, and all cards and wrap are 3 for 2.
Cards with personality. Pick from puns like Brussel Pout, Mistle-toad and Wine and All I Want for Christmas Is Yule, party-ready designs like Disco Ho Ho, and cards for the people who matter, including Dad, a lovely son, a cute couple and even the dog (Deck the Paws).
Wrap that matches the collection. Our wrapping paper comes in Dear Santa, Jolly Santa, Disco Santa and Harlequin, from £2.50. Add gift tags, a Jolly Santa Mug Gift Bag or the Christmas Tree Candy Stripe Gift Bag and your presents look as good under the tree as your decorations.
