Anthropologie and New York City Ballet Debut Exclusive Holiday Homeware Collaboration Inspired by George Balanchine's The Nutcracker®

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anthropologie, the global lifestyle brand, invites you to step into a holiday wonderland with the launch of its exclusive homeware collaboration with New York City Ballet, inspired by the enchantment of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker^®.

This limited-edition holiday collection transforms the ethereal artistry of the stage into tangible treasures for the home. Spanning 61 SKUs, including plush blankets, intricate ornaments, ceramic candles, and light-catching dinnerware and barware, each design detail nods to the whimsy and elegance of the cherished tale.

From embroidered throw pillows to ornaments that capture the playful spirit of the Mouse King and the grace of the Sugarplum Fairy, every piece invites you to bring the theater into your own holiday rituals. Rich textures, embellished details and a palette inspired by twinkling winter lights ensure this collection does more than decorate the home, but bring to life the wonder of the holiday season.

"The Nutcracker has inspired audiences for generations, and through this collaboration we hope to encourage our customers to explore and delight in the season with the same joy and awe they feel when watching the ballet," says Katherine Finder, Chief Merchandising Officer at Anthropologie Home. "We wanted each piece to carry a sense of surprise, ornate charm, and make the home more inviting and every holiday gathering a celebration."

"We are thrilled to see the artistry of New York City Ballet take on this life beyond the stage," says Katherine Brown, Executive Director of New York City Ballet. "This collaboration brings the spirit of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker^® and Anthropologie's artful allure into people's homes, making the magic of this timeless ballet a part of holiday traditions in a new and exciting way."

The Anthropologie x New York City Ballet collection will be available exclusively at Anthropologie stores across the U.S. and U.K., and online at anthropologie.com.

About New York City Ballet:
New York City Ballet, one of the foremost ballet companies in the world, was founded in 1948 by the legendary choreographer George Balanchine and arts patron Lincoln Kirstein, and quickly became world-renowned for its athletic and contemporary style. Jerome Robbins joined NYCB the following year and, with Balanchine, helped to build its extraordinary repertory. Today NYCB continues to be inspired by its founders who envisioned an authentically American expression of ballet with a company that reflects the rich cultural diversity of our city and nation. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Jonathan Stafford, Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan, and Executive Director Katherine Brown, NYCB remains dedicated to its primary objectives: to preserve the ballets, dance aesthetic, and standards of excellence created and established by its founders; to develop new work that draws on the talents of contemporary choreographers and composers and speaks to the time in which it is made; and to make ballet accessible to the widest possible public through touring, education programs, the creative use of media, and other outreach efforts.
