Introducing: Yuletide - A Festive Embossed Collar Collection

Every year we look forward to December dog walks. The cold noses, frosty grass, muddy paws, and that unmistakable sense of magic in the air. This year, we wanted to create something that feels like Christmas without being loud or overly novelty. Something subtle, seasonal, and made for real-world winter adventures.

Meet Yuletide — our limited-edition embossed holiday collar collection for dogs who love the change of seasons just as much as we do.

This design features a hand-drawn Christmas garland pattern with:
✨ holly leaves
✨ winter berries
✨ poinsettia florals
✨ ribbons and bows
✨ tiny brass bells

…all embossed directly into the Biothane for a design that won’t peel, flake, or rub away.

It’s festive, but still refined — that perfect balance between Christmas sparkle and everyday practicality.

This design is incredibly special to us, as it is the first release hand-drawn by one of our ambassadors, Chelsea Harrison. We are so pleased to be able to officially work with Chelsea, and look forward to sharing our future collections we have been busy creating together. If you would like to keep up with Chelsea and her two dogs, Maple and Bertie, you can find their social media here.

❄️ Why we created Yuletide

Winter is messy.
Wet fields, salt water on beach walks, soggy woodland paths, melted snow, and muddy garden zoomies - all a part of realistic, off Instagram, dog life.

We wanted a collar that:

  • looks magical in December photos
  • wipes clean after every walk
  • won’t hold odour
  • won’t rot when it gets wet
  • stays flexible in cold weather

Because Christmas shouldn’t mean keeping your collar “for best.” It should mean more adventures, not less.

Yuletide is for dogs who:

  • chase leaves
  • roll in frost
  • run full tilt through puddles
  • look extra handsome in gold and silver hardwares

(So… most dogs.)

🌲 The three Yuletide designs

We’ve released three limited styles — each one capturing the festive theme in a different way.

🎁 1. Yuletide Hound Collar

Moss green wraparound embossed with the Christmas garland pattern, backed in deep Gojiberry red with gold speckled edges. Finished with antique gold hardware.
This one feels like mulled wine by the fire after a forest walk.

🎁 2. Yuletide Arrow Collar

A Gojiberry red and Pixie pink split design, both sides embossed with the Yuletide pattern. Silver hardware gives this one a slightly frosted, winter-morning feel.

🎁 3. Yuletide Explorer Collar

A single Gojiberry red band embossed with the Christmas wreath design. Strong, simple, timeless. If you want festive without fuss, this is the one.

All three are waterproof, wipe-clean, and adventure-ready.

No soggy fabric, no odour, no staining — just rinse and go.

This is the kind of festive dog gear that feels effortless. A two-tone collar hanging on a tree branch, meant for dogs who love to explore pine needles, puddles and old woodland paths. Holiday style doesn’t have to be loud - sometimes it’s just a hint of pink and red in the right light.

🐾 Style notes: Yuletide with different coat colours

We’ve tested (and photographed!) Yuletide on a whole range of dogs:

  • Black coats: Yuletide looks rich and dramatic, especially the moss and antique gold.
  • Fox red / ginger coats: Gojiberry and gold are chef’s kiss.
  • White / light coats: The embossed pattern stands out beautifully without overwhelming.
  • Merle coats: Silver hardware + embossing = subtle but striking.

If you’re unsure which collar to choose, start with your dog’s coat temperature:
Warm coats → green + gold
Cool coats → red + silver

Simple, joyful styling.

It’s the kind of photo that reminds us why we wanted a festive design that’s fun, but still practical for real winter walks.

🧼 Practical magic - why Biothane wins winter

We love the aesthetics of leather, but winter is not kind to it.

Biothane is:

  • Waterproof
  • Mud-proof
  • Rot-proof
  • Odour resistant
  • Quick drying
  • Vegan friendly
  • Flexible in cold weather

A simple wipe with warm water and everything - salt, mud, sand, snow - is gone.

This is Christmas dog gear that actually keeps up with real life.

There’s a certain type of magic in holiday anticipation - waiting for the first frost, untangling the fairy lights, planning long winter walks. Svein, with a velvet bow resting on his snout, became the face of our Yuletide teaser on Instagram.

🎅 Photography by Karinann & Svein

Our Yuletide collection was photographed in two very different settings - a mix of studio lighting and natural outdoor light. Both settings captured beautifully by KarinAnn Photography and Svein the Springer Spaniel.

Some images were captured in a controlled studio space against a plain red background, using professional lighting to highlight the embossed detailing clearly and show true festive colour. Others were taken outdoors with woodland greens, winter textures and real Woof & Snout dogs, so you can see how these collars look in everyday December adventures.

We love this combination because it tells the whole story: clean, bright product clarity indoors, and the real-life magic of dogs outdoors. From studio sharpness to muddy paws on a frosty walk - Yuletide looks beautiful wherever you take it.

Sometimes Christmas style is loud. Sometimes it’s a single collar hanging from a branch, waiting for the next adventure. We designed Yuletide so that it would feel festive at a glance, but sturdy and practical in everyday life. Waterproof, wipe-clean and built for long walks in wet weather.

✨ A final word from us

Christmas with dogs is all about:
