In 1981, Jette Frölich made her first characteristic paper cuttings for Holmegaard’s Christmas Bottle. Now, four decades later, Holmegaard’s Christmas collection has become a tradition and treasured collector’s item for many Christmas fans. This year, her reflections on the magic of Christmas have resulted in a beautifully illustrated Christmas collection for Holmegaard, in which Jette Frölich invites us to celebrate Christmas together. Frölich's 2022 interpretation of the atmospheric festive season beautifully illustrates the message of our common Christmas. It is all about home, and the illustrations on the bottle reflect that joy of anticipation when we cosy up indoors and get together with family and friends from near and far. On the front is a front door flanked by Christmas trees, lanterns on the steps, Christmas lights, snow and a fence. On the sides, through the windows, you can see the Christmas decorations, Christmas tree and presents. To emphasise the joy of anticipation, there are children peeping through the window. There is also a touch of tradition and joy of anticipation for the grown-ups. Down the side there is a classic calendar, so day by day in the lead-up to Christmas, you can look forward to enjoying the contents of the bottle and, slowly but surely, approach 24 December.

Holmegaard Christmas is a Christmas series that has been reflecting the magic of Christmas for many years. Back in 1981, Jette Frölich created her characteristic paper cuttings for Holmegaard’s Christmas bottle for the first time. And four decades later, Holmegaard’s Christmas collection has become a much-loved collector’s item for many Christmas fans. This is largely because Jette Frölich masterfully manages to translate Christmas’ key messages such as caring, generosity and meticulous preparations into simple motifs full of Christmas spirit. She masterfully illustrates the instantly recognisable feelings that live in us on a daily basis and are reinforced during the holidays.

Together with the Advent wreath and the Advent candle, Christmas cosiness is one of December’s established traditions. The same applies to Holmegaard Christmas, which transforms the holiday into paper cuttings on glass jars with motifs taken from our shared Christmas stories and Nordic Christmas traditions. Everything that makes Christmas so special.

Childhood memories and the joy of anticipation are almost the essence of Christmas. Add to this the many cosy family traditions and the joy of ending the year and celebrating with the people we love the most. It is precisely this joy and excitement that inspires Jette Frölich to encapsulate the Nordic Christmas – and everything that makes it unique – in her distinctive, elegant lines. Holmegaard Christmas brings out a new Christmas motif every year, and for many, the series has become a regular part of Christmas – both as hist/hostess gifts, Christmas gifts and as a cosy addition to the Christmas decorations.
