Celebrate The Season With Tori Wesszer’s Holiday Collection For Walmart Canada (Win!)

November 5, 2024

Just in time for the holidays, Walmart Canada is teaming up with lifestyle influencer and cookbook author Tori Wesszer to launch a limited-edition home and entertaining line. Debuting on November 6, this exclusive 75-piece collection offers festive décor, dinnerware and holiday essentials that capture Tori’s signature style—at Walmart’s accessible prices. From frosted elegance to cozy chalet vibes, Tori’s collection invites everyone to create beautiful, inviting holiday spaces without overspending. We chatted with Tori to discover the inspiration behind her designs and tips for styling this joyful collection. —Noa Nichol

What inspired you to collaborate with Walmart Canada on this limited-edition holiday home and entertaining collection, and how does it reflect your personal style?

My childhood Christmases, filled with my mom’s heartfelt preparations, sparked my inspiration. Coupled with my fondness for France, where I’ve spent many memorable moments, the collection reflects European holiday traditions and the magic of Christmas markets. It’s about cherishing nostalgia, the joy of family gatherings, and the timeless elegance of French style. Walmart Canada beautifully captured this essence, creating a collection that’s both simple and enduring.

Holiday decorating can be overwhelming for many. How does this collection make it easier for people to create beautiful, festive spaces without breaking the bank?

I envisioned the entire holiday experience; from the moment guests arrive to the festive dinner table. I aimed to create a sense of elevated elegance throughout the home, with special touches in every room. A few of my favourite pieces from the collection include the Noel Stocking Holders and the versatile wreath with a navy bow, available in two sizes. This classic and elegant wreath is a stunning statement piece for your front door, especially when paired with a complementary welcome mat. The dining table is where the real magic happens. The 12-inch Wooden Cake Stand is a versatile piece that can be used for everything from displaying small décor items to serving a delicious charcuterie board. I also adore the pieces that incorporate warm brass accents, such as the pre-lit Mercury Glass Trees and the Letters to Santa Mailbox. The mailbox is a particularly special piece that can create lasting memories for children and become a cherished family heirloom. I’m excited to see how people use the adorable clip-on bows. These versatile accessories can be used in countless ways, from hair clips to tree ornaments.

With 75 pieces in the collection, what are some of your favorite items, and how do you envision them bringing joy and magic to holiday gatherings?

The collection features 75 pieces, each designed to evoke joy and magic during the holiday season. Some of my personal favorites include the Noel Stocking Holders, the versatile wreath with a navy bow, and the 12-inch Wooden Cake Stand. These pieces can be used to elevate every part of the holiday experience, from the front door to the dinner table. The wreath, available in two sizes, makes a stunning statement, while the cake stand can be used for everything from displaying small décor items to serving festive treats. The Noel Stocking Holders add a touch of whimsy to the mantel, and the clip-on bows offer endless possibilities for creative decoration.

You’ve incorporated 2024 holiday trends like frosted elegance and winter chalet into the collection. Can you share how you balanced timeless designs with these trendy elements?

As someone who is more traditional than trendy, I balanced timeless designs with 2024 holiday trends by blending classic elements with modern touches. For example, the pre-lit Mercury Glass Trees offer a sophisticated and ethereal glow with an old-world feel and are completely on-trend. Cozy and inviting pieces such as the Noel Stocking Holders evoke a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the darker elements such as the navy bows and accents are completely on-trend but will never go out of style. By combining these trendy elements with classic designs, the collection offers a timeless appeal that can be enjoyed for years to come.

How do you hope this collection helps families create memorable holiday moments, and do you have any styling tips for making a home feel cozy and welcoming for the season?

The holiday season is a time for joy and connection, and I hope this collection can help bring that magic into homes across Canada. By offering everything needed to create a festive atmosphere, at everyday low prices, I hope to make the holidays more accessible and enjoyable for families. I envision Canadians celebrating together in style and creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

As a Registered Dietitian and cookbook author, you often focus on the heart of the home—the kitchen. How do the entertaining elements in this collection enhance the dining experience during the holidays?

As a Registered Dietitian and cookbook author, I deeply appreciate the importance of creating a warm and inviting dining experience. The kitchen is the heart of the home, and the table is where the true magic of the holidays happens. Making the holiday table spectacular doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult. I added entertaining elements into this collection to elevate the holiday dining experience to help people create a festive atmosphere for their guests. Pieces like the 12-inch Wooden Cake Stand and the Noel Stocking Holders add a touch of elegance and whimsy to the table, the swags and candle holders add cozy layers, while the clip-on bows and special ornaments offer a fun and customizable way to personalize the place settings. By incorporating these beautiful and functional pieces into your holiday table, you can create a memorable dining experience for your loved ones without breaking the bank.

What advice would you give to someone looking to elevate their holiday décor while keeping things affordable and sustainable?

I would say to invest in pieces that are timeless, and less trend-based, like those found in this collection. The pieces are classic, and something you’ll be proud to pull out year after year to create memories around.

Tough question: your absolutely FAVOURITE item from the range, and how you plan to use it to decorate your personal space this holiday season.

That is so tough! I can’t pick one, but the two favourites are the NOEL Stocking Holders that are so timeless and classy and the Letters to Santa Mailbox Ornaments. I love that you can put the stocking holders on a table or window sill if you don’t have a fireplace, and the Santa Mailbox Ornaments are so special, they open up to fit a gift card or little note, I just think they will be a part of core memories created over the holidays. Oh and the clip-on velvet bows… I will be putting them on everything, including on the stockings, clipped onto the candlesticks, on my gifts and even in my hair. Safe to say I’m obsessed.
