For the holiday season, OMY expanded upon its range of [color-in posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crayola-x-hanna-andersson), customizable masks, message cards and other creativity-inspiring products with Christmas paper placemats.

The [paper coloring placemats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platoo-interactive-sensory-meal-plate) from OMY take the kinds of games, activities and surprises that are ordinarily only offered on the pages of [coloring books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-color-cove) and place them front and center on the table. In a pack of the placemats, there are six different designs to discover, offering hours of entertainment, especially for young ones gathered around the holiday table.

Some of the charming black and white image outlines that are included on the festive paper placemats include popular holiday staples like snowmen, gingerbread, penguins, candy canes, baubles, personified presents and cozy scenes set by the fireplace.
