French cookware range Le Creuset has released a limited-edition festive collection to brighten up your 2020 Christmas plans.
The Holly Collection includes cappuccino mugs – going for as cheap as £13.50 and perfect for your post Christmas dinner coffee – as well as casserole dishes, bowls, jugs, pots and pans. Everything you’d need for a delicious (and Instagrammable) festive spread.
All pieces are embossed with a holly leaf design and are available in snow white matte and festive cherry red. A cast iron soup pot tops the budget at £245, while a utensil jar is available for £30, and a mixing bowl for £42.
The Stoneware Holly Cafetiere comes in at £57 – it might be pricier than your average French press but is available in both Christmassy colours and made from perfectly enamelled stoneware and specialist clays, as is the rest of the range.
For those undertaking the brunt of the Christmas cooking this year, a “petite” casserole dish is going for £20, and a cast iron saucier pan – complete with heat resistant handle and fit for hob, oven and grill usage – is available for £190.
The brand’s website has called the new line “an ode to Christmas”.
“Every piece is decorated with a delicate, embossed holly pattern," it reads. "Beautifully crafted, they make the perfect centrepiece for your table when you’re entertaining friends and family.”
Seeing as it’s a limited edition range, and Le Creuset is very popular, we don’t expect these goodies to stay in stock for long.
Le Creuset was the brainchild of two Belgian industrialists, Armand Desaegher and Octave Aubecq. It first appeared in French shops and department stores in the mid and late 1920s.
Little is known about Desaegher and Aubecq except that they met at the Brussels Fair only a year before opening the Le Creuset factory, which offered employment in an area devastated, economically and emotionally, by war.
All products from the Holly Collection are available to shop at lecreuset.co.uk.
