Christmas Eve is one of those moments in the year that naturally makes us pay extra attention to the details. We choose the most beautiful tablecloth, bring out our family tableware, take care of festive arrangements and the warm glow of candlelight. More and more often, wicker is also finding its place in this aesthetic composition - a natural, eco-friendly material deeply rooted in Polish craftsmanship. While it doesn’t carry the same strong symbolism as hay under the tablecloth or an extra place setting, it is a wonderful addition to a festive table. The TheWickerStories collection offers many unique pieces that fit perfectly into the atmosphere of a Christmas Eve dinner and help create a table full of family warmth.
Wicker as a natural accent in festive styling
Wicker, made from young willow shoots, has long been admired for its simplicity, durability and versatility. When it comes to Christmas Eve decorations, its greatest strength lies in its natural character and its ability to blend subtly with other elements - fir branches, linen, cotton, glass or ceramics. Thanks to this, wicker baskets, trays and small decorative pieces work beautifully in both minimalist interiors and more classic, cosy arrangements.
On the festive table, wicker can serve both practical and decorative purposes. A wicker bread basket or a small wicker basket with a heart-shaped lining adds a warm, homely feel and presents food in an elegant yet understated way. In many homes, bowls filled with nuts, dried fruit or mandarins also appear - and nothing highlights their natural charm better than wicker storage baskets or wicker baskets with fabric linings.
Wicker accessories on the Christmas Eve table - practical and beautiful
Although wicker is not a traditional Christmas symbol, it fits perfectly into modern festive aesthetics. It is light, timeless and allows you to create arrangements that feel warm, family-oriented and effortlessly elegant. The TheWickerStories range includes many pieces that beautifully enhance the festive atmosphere.
Among the most popular choices are wicker trays, which can serve as a base for centrepieces, candle holders or serving dishes. Wicker storage baskets, especially those with fabric linings, also look wonderful - adding cosiness to the interior while protecting stored food. Custom-made baskets are becoming increasingly popular as well, ideal for those who want decorations perfectly suited to the size of their table or shelves.
It’s also worth paying attention to details such as wicker baskets with lids, which work perfectly as containers for Christmas wafers or small festive treats. Shelf baskets, chests and storage containers are equally practical, helping to keep things organised during holiday preparations and later serving as everyday organisers long after Christmas Eve.
Wicker in the festive home - not just for the table
One of wicker’s greatest advantages is that it suits the entire festive interior, not just the table setting. When planning Christmas decorations, it’s worth thinking more broadly - especially as TheWickerStories offers a wide range of products that help maintain a cohesive, natural style. In the living room, a wicker Christmas tree collar works beautifully to hide the stand while adding an elegant, rustic touch. In relaxation areas, decorative chests can be used both as eye-catching accents and practical storage for blankets or seasonal decorations. In homes with pets, wicker pet beds and cushions fit perfectly into the space - natural, comfortable and visually pleasing, they blend harmoniously with festive décor.
It’s also worth remembering details such as fruit and vegetable baskets, which look beautiful on a kitchen counter, island or dining table, creating a welcoming atmosphere that lasts long after the holidays are over, as well as other wicker decorations that easily complement most interior styles.
Wicker gifts - elegance rooted in tradition
Christmas is also a time for giving. In this context, gift baskets are an excellent choice - timeless, elegant and highly personal. A wicker basket can be filled with sweets, homemade treats, candles, natural cosmetics or small decorations, creating a gift that delights not only with its contents but also with its presentation. Thanks to a variety of sizes and shapes, as well as options with linings, fabric trims or lids, it’s easy to match the basket to the type of gift and the recipient’s taste.
Items such as a wicker bread basket, a lined storage basket or an elegant wicker tray often become part of Christmas gifts exchanged during the holidays. And because wicker is a durable, timeless material, these gifts are enjoyed for many years, serving as a reminder of the festive atmosphere.
Wicker on the Christmas Eve table is not only an aesthetic choice but also a practical one. While it may not be a traditional symbolic element, its presence beautifully enhances the natural spirit of the holidays. TheWickerStories offers a wide selection of products, making it easy to create a cohesive and elegant festive setting. If you’re looking for a way to give your Christmas celebrations a warm, homely feel while maintaining functionality and harmony in your interior, choose wicker. It’s a material that not only looks beautiful but also blends modern style with traditional craftsmanship - and that’s always the perfect recipe for a truly special family Christmas Eve.
