Christmas Salt and Pepper Shakers

Christmas salt and pepper shakers are popular for many reasons. Shaker sets are fun collectibles, remembrances of holidays or trips, and the finishing touch on your table. Some people love collectible salt and pepper shakers; others simply want to decorate the Christmas table with a shaker set that is pretty and functional.

Here, you'll find beautiful, cute, and whimsy shaker sets: Publix Santa and Mrs. Claus Salt-and-Pepper Shakers, Reindeer salt and pepper shakers, Kissing figures shaker sets, angel salt-and-pepper shakers, Spode Christmas Tree salt and pepper shakers, vintage salt and pepper shaker sets, glass salt and pepper shakers, silver salt and pepper shakers, and more.

Imagine your perfect Christmas meal awaiting your family and friends. The food is lovingly placed in bowls and platters on a beautiful table. You're probably not going to smack a Morton's salt container in the center of your table. Christmas salt and pepper shaker sets are the finishing piece of the tablesettings.

Depending on your gathering, you may want elegant salt and pepper shakers or whimsical shaker sets. Some salt and pepper shakers are two figures (some 'exactly' alike, except each one is marked for salt or pepper), like the hugging salt and pepper shakers.

I like unusual ones, figures that complement one another (like Santa and Mrs. Claus), and shaker sets that form a scene (like a snowman and a boy). My favorites are Christmas shaker sets that fit within themselves, so it looks like one statue, figure or scene. You may want to use those two-part shakers for small tables, where space is a premium and it's easier to pass around a combination set.

My mom loved salt-and-pepper shakers and had sets for every occasion. Every time she brought out the crystal Santa set, it seemed like the perfect finishing touch to our Christmas dinner. She must have inspired my collection because I have a few sets and always love looking for more to add to my collection. The reindeer Christmas salt and pepper shakers, featured in the photo, are mine. I also had some that looked like bright, round Christmas bulbs.


Shakers are made in a vast variety of shapes. Christmas salt-and-pepper shaker sets make great gifts, too. They're perfect as a general gift, like to a co-worker or a child's teacher. Choose a set based on a loved one's favorite themes, and it'll be a treasured gift every Christmas. Many of my family's shaker sets have become part of our Christmas tradition and hold many memories.

Enjoy finding the perfect Christmas Salt and Pepper Shakers - for yourself or buy a Christmas shaker set for a friend. It'd make a great Christmas gift!
