Hello there! As a pampered chef consultant, I can assure you that when a product is retired, it may not necessarily be gone forever. There are times when a product is retired due to seasonal changes or to make room for new and improved items. However, there are also instances where a product may be retired permanently. In the case of the holiday plates, they may come back in the future, but it's always best to check with your consultant for any updates. Thank you for your question and I hope this helps clarify things for you. Have a great day!
