Holmegaard: Ann-Sofi Romme

Christmas Hanging Ornament Christmas Star 2026 Small

A little star with its heart in the right place

There is always room for another star on the Christmas tree, particularly one that comes with its own little golden heart. The Holmegaard Christmas 2026 Small Star is a mouth-blown glass ornament designed by Ann-Sofi Romme, combining traditional Danish Christmas symbolism with a wonderfully light and contemporary character. Made from clear borosilicate glass, the five-pointed star features a delicate gold-coloured woven heart motif at its centre, surrounded by tiny red hearts. Measuring 8.5 cm in both height and width, with a depth of 2.5 cm, its gently rounded, three-dimensional shape catches the light from different angles. A small golden heart charm hangs from the lower point, adding a playful finishing touch, while a red silk ribbon printed with “Holmegaard Christmas” makes it easy to suspend from a Christmas tree or decorative branch. The combination of transparent glass, warm golden details and cheerful red accents gives the ornament a nostalgic festive feel without appearing overly traditional. Made in China as part of Holmegaard's annual Christmas 2026 collection, this small glass star brings a thoughtful touch of Scandinavian design to the celebrations.

A little sparkle, without the glitter

The Holmegaard Christmas star has a quiet charm that makes it easy to welcome into different festive settings. Hang it among deep green fir branches, where its transparent glass creates a beautiful contrast with the rich colour of the needles, or suspend it from a single winter branch in a simple vase. During the day, natural light catches the softly curved glass surface and highlights the golden pattern. In the evening, the glow of nearby Christmas lights brings warmth to the delicate red and gold details. The ornament also looks lovely hanging near a window, above a festive dining table or as a thoughtful finishing touch to a carefully wrapped present. Its compact proportions make it easy to combine with other glass decorations, creating a layered arrangement without making the tree feel crowded. As a mouth-blown glass piece, subtle variations may occur, reflecting the character of its traditional production method. It is the sort of Christmas decoration that can be brought out year after year, gradually becoming part of the familiar rituals that make December feel special.

A woven heart and two centuries of glassmaking

Holmegaard's story began in 1825 with Countess Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe, who continued her late husband's ambition to establish a glassworks and helped create one of Denmark's most recognised design names. What started as a small glassmaking enterprise developed into a rich tradition of functional glassware and decorative objects, shaped by generations of designers and craftspeople. Today, Holmegaard is part of the Rosendahl Design Group and continues to explore the expressive qualities of glass through designs that combine heritage with contemporary living. Its Christmas collections reflect the same curiosity, drawing inspiration from familiar Nordic customs and the atmosphere of the festive season. The 2026 Small Star was designed by Ann-Sofi Romme, whose interpretation of traditional Christmas motifs feels both affectionate and fresh. At the centre of the ornament, the golden woven heart pattern recalls the folded paper hearts traditionally hung on Danish Christmas trees. The surrounding red hearts and small dangling golden charm give this familiar symbol a new expression, capturing the warmth of Christmas in a delicate glass form.

Good company for the Christmas tree

The Holmegaard Christmas 2026 Small Star works beautifully alongside the other glass ornaments designed by Ann-Sofi Romme for the collection. Pair it with the matching Christmas bird, bell, bauble or heart decoration to create a festive arrangement connected by red silk ribbons, golden motifs and clear glass. These recurring details bring a sense of harmony to the Christmas tree while allowing each ornament to retain its own character. For a relaxed Scandinavian setting, combine the star with natural greenery, linen ribbons and warm candlelight. You can also carry the festive atmosphere through to the dining table with Holmegaard Christmas tea light holders, seasonal glassware or a decorative biscuit jar filled with homemade treats. As an annual ornament, the 2026 star makes a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys collecting Christmas decorations or marking each festive season with a meaningful new piece. Carefully stored between celebrations, it can return year after year as a familiar part of the Christmas preparations.
