This Christmas, French toile designs are trending for holiday tableware.
Toile is defined as “Toile de Jouy”, sometimes abbreviated to simply “toile”, is a type of decorating pattern consisting of a white or off-white background on which is a repeated pattern depicting a fairly complex scene, generally of a pastoral theme such as a couple having a picnic by a lake or an arrangement of flowers.”
It’s pronounced “twall” just like “small.”
Toile Christmas dishes can fit in with a French country Christmas theme, a farmhouse Christmas style, or into today’s cottagecore trend.

Here is Johnson Brothers “Twas the Night” toile holiday dishes, showing Santa’s sleigh, a snow-covered cabin in the woods, and a cozy fireplace.
American Atelier incorporated a snowman and outdoor Christmas tree into their holiday toile salad/dessert plates.
Gibson Home calls this dinnerware pattern “Christmas Toile” but it’s more colorful than standard French toile.
Use toile dishes in your YouTube shorts or Instagram Reels about Christmas dinner, Christmas brunch, holiday cocktail parties or a Winter Wonderland dinner party.
Note that Christmas toile is trending in bedding sets as well, such as this red and white toile holiday sheet set from Great Bay Home.
Most of the Christmas toile we are seeing is red and white; we haven’t seen much black-and-white holiday toile home decor on offer.
Happy creating,
