Christmas 2025 (view technical specs)
This year’s Christmas issue celebrates the magic, warmth, and symbolism of the festive season through a captivating collection of delicate crystal ornaments. Each piece is a miniature work of art, meticulously crafted to capture light, refract colour, and embody the spirit of Christmas in its purest form. Together, they evoke the joy, nostalgia, and wonder that makes this time of year so beloved.
At the heart of the collection stands the radiant Father Christmas, whose sparkling form symbolises generosity, good will, and the enduring joy of giving. Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, with his luminous nose, reminds us of the kindness, courage, and gentle strength to guide others when paths seem dark. The snowman, serene and smiling, reflects innocence and the simple pleasures found in winter’s quiet beauty. Playful and industrious, the Christmas elf represents creativity and the unseen spirit of dedication that brings happiness to every home.
The adorned, glittering Christmas tree stands as a timeless symbol of hope, renewal and life. It gathers families together beneath its shining branches, a beacon of unity and celebration. The wrapped present embodies gratitude and affection, reminding us that the true gift of Christmas lies in shared love and togetherness. Meanwhile, the bear on a drum captures the joyful rhythm of festive music, echoing the laughter and cheer that fill the season. In contrast, the bear resting upon a crescent moon conveys peace, dreams, and the quiet sense of wonder that settles over the world on Christmas night.
Together, these crystalline figures illuminate the enduring meanings of Christmas: love, generosity, peace, and the comforting light that carries us through the winter, toward renewal and hope. In their radiant simplicity, they remind us that beauty and meaning often lie in the small, shimmering details that make the season truly timeless.
