We've never really been big on holiday-themed tabletop collections. (Maybe it's because my mom has an entire set of Spode Christmas china that collects dust for most of the year.) We do, however, like holiday-ish designs that are festive enough to celebrate the season but nondescript enough to be useful year round.
We've rounded up a range of options, from higher-end lacquered versions to mid-century designer styles to bright melamine trays from IKEA.

Whoa ... anyone else see all those creepy faces in the first tray?
I'll stick with my bird tray from IKEA ... that thing makes me so happy!
yes!! creepy!
I SEE FACES. I am going to have nightmares tonight! eeeep
Wheeew! I thought I was the only one seeing faces.
I agree about the first tray - it's definitey for Halloween, not Christmas.
Although I don't really see what's particularly Christmassy about the other ones (in fact I just got two of those Ikea bird trays and felt a bit silly buying something so summery in December)
I got an Ikea Barbar tray, the red one with white branches...so cute!!
The first tray reminds me of Shepard Fairey prints. The straight on face looks like his Andre the Giant.
Those faces on the first one are freaking me out too. Definitely would not want it in my house. The rest are just fine.
