Is it too early to start thinking about New Year’s Eve? Well, not according to IKEA. The Swedish giant just launched the sparkliest holiday collection — and it’s perfect for all your winter-themed party needs.

IKEA’s new FRÖJDA collection might be the brand’s shiniest yet. Inspired by the gleaming, snowy Swedish landscape, many of the pieces feature a palette of glittering silver and crisp white. If your NYE theme is “winter wonderland,” this is the perfect collection for you (and if it’s not, you might want to consider making it this year’s theme). IKEA’s looking to provide you with all the essentials you need to celebrate every occasion, with everything you need for the table and beyond.

The collection features some timeless basics — silverware, plates, napkins, and wineglasses — with the highlight for dishware definitely being the Champagne coupes. At just $20 for a four-pack, these are a steal (considering IKEA’s glassware often looks far more elegant than the price tag would suggest). If you’re going to be hosting a larger party, it’s a superbly cost-effective way to serve your guests. And as a bonus, the napkins are made with leftover material from sheet production, so you can start 2025 on a sustainable note.

The real standouts, though, are the decor pieces. The snowflake-shaped pendant light is a personal favorite of mine; it’s made of powder-coated steel with a light at each point. Because the lights are only $25 each, you can set up a few to create a scene straight out of a fairytale.

As for the table, between the LED lantern, the sparkly silver sticks decoration, and the LED table decoration, you’ll be spoiled for choice. The collection is topped off with a flat-pack disco ball that looks like an upgraded paper lantern, coming in at the super-affordable price of just $5.

Whether you’re celebrating with a low-key gathering or hosting the party no one will ever forget, the FRÖJDA has got something for you. The collection launches this month, so grab your party supplies before they sell out.
