5 Christmas-themed tea towels that ring in the festive spirit

Because Christmas can be practical, too. - by Lucy Francis
  • 06 Oct 2021

When we think of Christmas, our minds usually go straight to trees, baubles, twinkling lights and maybe even a roast ham or seafood, depending on your preference. But there's an overlooked, more subtle way of decorating that also ticks the practicality box: Christmas-themed tea towels.

WATCH: Raspberry, ginger and mascarpone Christmas log

Perhaps a yearly Christmas tea towel is an ongoing tradition in your household, or maybe you live in a small-space home and need alternative ways to decorate in the holiday spirit.

Whatever your reason, we've rounded up the sweetest festive tea towels in Australia for you to adorn your home and ring in the season.
