Bico Santa On The Way Scalloped Christmas Salad Plates Set of 4, 8.75 In, Microwave & Dishwasher Safe
Are the Bico Santa On The Way Christmas salad plates a practical way to make a holiday table festive without replacing your everyday dishes?
Yes—this set gives you four 8.75-inch ceramic salad plates for cookies, dessert, sides, or a small salad, with a scalloped rim and a Christmas pattern that does the decorating for you. They are microwave- and dishwasher-safe, so they fit the rhythm of a holiday meal rather than needing special handling at every turn. I’d pair them with plain white dinner plates and use them as the seasonal accent. They’re also lead- and cadmium-free.
From the Amazon listing
- ✓COOKIES, DESSERT, AND SIDES: At 8.75 inches, these plates handle Christmas cookies, dessert, salads, and side dishes, so the same set moves from holiday breakfast to a dinner side without a mismatched stack of dishes.
- ✓STURDY FOR DAILY DINING: Made from high-quality ceramic, each plate has a solid, sturdy construction that is easy to handle and built for daily use, through the holidays and beyond.
- ✓EFFORTLESS SERVE AND CLEAN: These ceramic salad plates are microwave and dishwasher safe, so reheating a snack or clearing the table after a holiday meal never turns into extra work. Use oven mitts when handling hot plates for safe, easy serving.
Will four plates cover the people you host?
The set is four, which suits a small household or a holiday meal where these plates are for dessert, sides, or a first course rather than every place setting. If you regularly host six or eight and want everyone to have a matching plate, plan on needing more than one set. For a larger everyday stack, the six-piece Corelle set below is the more straightforward choice.
Will the pattern work with the dishes you already own?
Treat these as accent plates, not a full dinnerware replacement. Plain white plates and simple holiday linens leave the Santa On The Way pattern room to stand out without forcing every piece on the table to match. If you want a particular established pattern—such as Spode Christmas Tree—choose that design rather than expecting this set to coordinate with it exactly.
Are they practical for reheating and cleanup?
Yes: the plates are microwave- and dishwasher-safe, handy for warming a small serving and clearing up after guests. Ceramic can get hot in the microwave, so use an oven mitt when picking one up. For the finish to stay looking its best, avoid abrasive scouring and don’t let plates bang together in a crowded sink or dishwasher.
Will ceramic hold up to holiday use?
The solid ceramic feel suits a proper sit-down meal, but ceramic can chip or break if it takes a hard knock or falls. Handle and stack these as you would other ceramic dishes, especially when packing them away after the season. If lightweight, chip-resistant everyday plates matter more than a seasonal look, Corelle is the sensible alternative.
How they compare
Four scalloped ceramic plates make an easy Christmas accent for cookies, dessert, salads, or sides.
A single dated 2026 porcelain plate with gold details for collectors and special holiday displays.
Six lightweight white plates for everyday use, with chip-resistant Vitrelle glass construction.
Who it suits
This set is for the host who already has everyday dinnerware, wants four festive small plates for Christmas meals, and likes the idea of an easy-to-clean ceramic accent. It also makes a fitting holiday or housewarming gift for someone who enjoys setting a seasonal table.
What you give up
- Four plates won’t outfit a larger gathering on their own, and the seasonal pattern is less flexible for everyday use than a plain white set.
- Ceramic has a more substantial feel than lightweight glass, but it needs more care around knocks and drops.

Questions buyers ask
Are these Christmas salad plates microwave- and dishwasher-safe?
Yes. The ceramic plates are safe for both the microwave and dishwasher. Use an oven mitt when handling one after reheating, since a ceramic plate can get hot.
Are the Bico plates chip-resistant?
They’re ceramic, so don’t treat them as chip-proof; a hard impact can still chip or break them.
Do Christmas salad plates go with plain white dinner plates?
This set works naturally as a seasonal accent beside plain white dinner plates. Keep the rest of the table simple if you want the scalloped edge and Christmas pattern to be the focus.
Is a set of four enough for Christmas hosting?
It’s enough for four guests using these as salad, dessert, or side plates. For a larger gathering where everyone needs one, you’ll need additional plates; the Corelle comparison set includes six.
Are ceramic or melamine Christmas plates better for kids?
Ceramic gives you the more traditional plate feel, but it can chip or break if dropped. For children or lively meals where breakage is the bigger concern, look for a lightweight, less breakable option and check that specific plate’s care guidance before microwaving it.
Can I use these as a Christmas gift?
Yes, especially for someone who enjoys seasonal table settings or has just moved into a new home. The set has four usable plates and a festive scalloped design; it’s a more practical gift than a single display plate if the recipient likes to host.
