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 is very much due to Jette Frölich's unique talent for transforming the key messages of Christmas – care, generosity and meticulous preparations – into simple motifs rich in Christmas spirit. She illustrates the easily recognisable emotions that are always inside us, but become particularly amplified during the festive season. This year, her reflections on the magic of Christmas has 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 Christmas hot drink glasses reflect that joy of anticipation when we cosy up indoors and get together with family and friends from near and far.

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.
