Holmegaard: Ann-Sofi Romme

Christmas Hanging Ornament Bird 2026 Small

A little bird with a soft spot for Christmas

This little bird has dressed up for Christmas, and thankfully, there is not a novelty jumper in sight. The Holmegaard Christmas 2026 Small Bird, designed by Ann-Sofi Romme, is a mouth-blown Christmas ornament made from clear borosilicate glass, bringing together delicate craftsmanship and a rather charming personality. Its gently curved glass body is decorated with fine golden swirls, tiny red hearts and a traditional woven Christmas heart motif. A soft pink feather forms the bird's playful tail, adding a touch of movement and an unexpected splash of colour. Beneath its body hangs a small, gleaming golden heart, while a red silk ribbon bearing the words “Holmegaard Christmas” allows the ornament to hang beautifully from a Christmas tree or decorative branch. The transparent glass catches the surrounding light, giving the gold detailing a subtle glow and allowing the bird's delicate shape to stand out against evergreen foliage. Made in China as part of Holmegaard's 2026 annual Christmas collection, this small glass bird brings a gentle sense of humour and Scandinavian festive tradition into your home.

A feathered visitor worth welcoming back

Some Christmas decorations become familiar faces, even without having a face quite like ours. The Holmegaard Christmas bird has all the makings of a festive favourite, with its cheerful red hearts, delicate pink feather and beautifully balanced glass silhouette. Hang it among the branches of a naturally decorated Christmas tree, where its transparent body catches the light and the golden details complement warm fairy lights. It looks equally lovely suspended from a single winter branch in a vase, displayed near a window or tied to a thoughtfully wrapped Christmas present. The combination of red, gold and soft pink brings a fresh note to traditional festive colours, making it easy to mix with both contemporary and nostalgic decorations. As a mouth-blown glass ornament, it also carries the character of traditional glass craftsmanship. For anyone who enjoys collecting a new decoration each December, the annual 2026 design offers a lovely way to remember a particular Christmas and gradually build a collection of meaningful festive pieces.

A remarkable woman, a glassworks and a lasting tradition

Holmegaard's story began in 1825 with Countess Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe, a woman whose determination helped establish one of Denmark's most celebrated glassmaking names. Following the death of her husband, she continued his ambition to create a glassworks, laying the foundations for a design heritage that has endured for more than two centuries. Today, Holmegaard remains closely associated with Danish glass design, thoughtful craftsmanship and an enduring curiosity about the possibilities of glass. Its Christmas collections celebrate this heritage through decorations inspired by Nordic traditions and the familiar rituals of the festive season. The 2026 Small Bird is designed by Ann-Sofi Romme, who brings a playful contemporary sensibility to classic Christmas symbols. The woven heart motif recalls a much-loved Danish festive tradition, while the delicate feather and dangling golden heart give the ornament a character of its own. Now part of the Rosendahl Design Group, Holmegaard continues to combine its rich history with new designs that feel at home in modern interiors.

A little flutter of festive affection

The Holmegaard Christmas 2026 Small Bird makes a lovely companion to the other glass ornaments designed by Ann-Sofi Romme for the seasonal collection. Combine it with the matching Christmas star, bell, bauble or heart ornament to create a coordinated arrangement of clear glass, red silk ribbons and golden details. Together, these pieces bring a sense of continuity to your Christmas tree without making the decoration feel overly arranged. The bird also works beautifully on its own, suspended from an evergreen branch or placed among a few carefully chosen festive accents. For a wider Christmas setting, pair the ornaments with Holmegaard Christmas glassware or tea light holders, allowing the same gentle atmosphere to flow from the tree to the dining table. It also makes a thoughtful small Christmas gift, especially for collectors who look forward to discovering each year's designs. Once the festivities are over, carefully put it away until the next December brings it back into the light.
