Christmas Made Simple: Why Corelle and Pyrex Are the Unsung Heroes of the Aussie Festive Table
If there’s one thing every Australian household has in common come December, it’s the shared chaos of Christmas cooking. Between keeping prawns chilled, ham glazed, and leftovers safe for round two, the kitchen becomes the true heart of the home — and often, the battleground. This year, two of the most iconic kitchen brands in the world, Corelle and Pyrex, have teamed up with Woolworths to make your festive season (and your everyday meals) simpler, smarter, and a whole lot more stylish.
Practicality Meets Timeless Design
Corelle and Pyrex have always been trusted names in family kitchens, known for quality that lasts and designs that stand the test of time. Now, their newest collections — available at Woolworths stores and online — are here to tackle the two biggest Christmas challenges: keeping food warm and storing leftovers without stress.
Let’s be honest: after the cooking marathon that is Christmas lunch, the last thing anyone wants to deal with is mismatched containers, leaking lids, and chipped plates. The new Pyrex Bake N Save and Corelle Winter Frost White collections solve all that, blending durability with design so you can spend less time worrying about cleanup and more time enjoying that extra slice of pavlova.
The Pyrex Bake N Save: From Oven to Fridge Without a Fuss

The Pyrex Bake N Save range is the definition of convenience. Crafted from high-quality, heat-resistant borosilicate glass, these versatile containers let you bake, serve, store, and reheat — all in the same dish. Available in 1.18L (RRP $17) and 1.86L (RRP $26) sizes, they’re perfect for prepping side dishes, baking lasagnas, or storing those all-important leftovers.
Each container features a silicone-sealed, airtight lid with secure locking clips to keep food fresher for longer. The lids are leak-proof too, meaning you can store sauces, gravies, and even desserts without worrying about spills. Whether you’re freezing batches ahead of time or reheating tomorrow’s turkey toasties, the Bake N Save dishes make the process seamless.
It’s that kind of functional design that’s a lifesaver for busy families — especially during the festive rush. For parents juggling full plates (literally and figuratively), having containers that can go straight from the oven to the fridge to the microwave cuts down on clutter, cleaning, and cooking stress.
The Secret to Better Leftovers
We all know the leftovers are the best part of Christmas. Cold ham sandwiches, reheated roast veggies, and whatever dessert is left after the kids’ sugar storm — they’re the moments that stretch the celebration just a little longer.
But storing leftovers well is key. Pyrex’s borosilicate glass doesn’t absorb odours or stains, which means your trifle won’t smell like last night’s garlic potatoes. The containers also stack beautifully in the fridge, saving space while keeping everything visible and easy to find.
This level of practicality isn’t just for Christmas either — it’s perfect for back-to-school lunch prep, meal planning, or freezing portions for quick weeknight dinners. Pyrex continues to prove why it’s been a kitchen essential for more than a century: durable, dependable, and delightfully easy to use.
Corelle Winter Frost White: Where Everyday Meets Effortless Elegance
If Pyrex is the hero of the prep and pack-up stage, Corelle is the star of the table. The Corelle Winter Frost White collection combines minimalist beauty with unbreakable strength — literally. Made from unique three-layer Vitrelle glass, it’s lightweight, chip-resistant, and perfect for both indoor dining and alfresco entertaining.
It’s also the kind of dinnerware that feels at home anywhere. Whether you’re hosting a laid-back backyard BBQ, a long Christmas brunch, or a candlelit dinner, the crisp white design complements every table setting. Think of it as the little black dress of tableware — classic, timeless, and effortlessly elegant.
For Fussy Eaters (and Parents Who Get It)

One standout piece from the range is the Corelle Divided Plate 26cm (RRP $15), designed for the fussy eaters in the family — young or old. You know the ones: the “don’t-let-my-peas-touch-my-
It’s the kind of practical innovation that parents instantly appreciate — simple, durable, and cleverly designed for real family life. And because it’s Corelle, you won’t be dealing with heavy, breakable plates that can’t survive the clumsiness of a toddler (or a tired adult after one too many Christmas cocktails).
The 12-Piece Dinner Set: Built for Every Occasion
For those who love a coordinated table, the Corelle Winter Frost White 12-Piece Dinner Set (RRP $79) is a total win. The set includes dinner plates, side plates, and bowls — everything you need to host with confidence. The ultra-slim design means it stacks neatly, taking up minimal cupboard space, and each piece is microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
It’s easy to see why Corelle has been a go-to for generations. Its combination of practicality and style has made it a staple in Australian homes, passed down like a secret recipe or Christmas tradition. And with the new range now available at Woolworths, refreshing your kitchen has never been easier.
The Perfect Pair: Pyrex and Corelle in Harmony
What makes these two brands such a perfect duo is how seamlessly they complement each other. Pyrex takes care of the cooking and storing; Corelle brings beauty to the table. Together, they simplify every stage of the festive food journey — from the oven to the fridge to the feast itself.
Whether you’re hosting family lunch or planning a low-key dinner for two, both collections are designed to make your life easier without sacrificing style. There’s a comforting nostalgia to seeing Pyrex and Corelle in the kitchen — they’re brands that have been part of family celebrations for decades, and they continue to evolve for the modern household.
Why They’re a Must-Have This Christmas
For parents especially, Christmas entertaining is a logistical juggle: cooking, cleaning, hosting, and somehow keeping the kids from eating all the trifle before lunch. Products that save time and make life easier are worth their weight in gold.
The new Corelle and Pyrex ranges tick every box — practical, affordable, long-lasting, and stylish enough to bring joy to even the simplest meal. They’re also a great gift idea for new homeowners, young families, or anyone wanting to upgrade from mismatched sets and worn-out containers.
It’s not just about making mealtimes look good — it’s about creating ease. When the tools you use every day are designed well, the little moments of family life (from rushed breakfasts to Sunday roasts) feel a little more enjoyable.
Durability That Lasts Beyond the Season

Corelle’s Vitrelle glass and Pyrex’s borosilicate glass are both designed to withstand the demands of daily family life. They’re dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe, and made to endure years of use without fading or cracking. That kind of long-term reliability isn’t just practical — it’s sustainable.
By choosing quality pieces that stand the test of time, families can reduce waste and avoid the constant cycle of replacing broken or low-quality items. It’s a small but meaningful way to make conscious, lasting choices — something that aligns perfectly with the modern push for sustainable living.
Setting the Table for Connection
At the end of the day, that’s what Christmas (and every meal) is really about — connection. The shared stories around the table, the laughter, the second helpings, and yes, even the chaos. With Pyrex and Corelle in the mix, it’s easier to focus on what matters most: being present.
So whether you’re plating up a feast for twelve or storing away those legendary leftovers, these two kitchen icons are the quiet helpers every household needs. Because great meals aren’t just made with good food — they’re made with good tools, shared moments, and the kind of quality that lasts for generations.
