Christmas Table Setting Ideas

This year, the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is shorter, so planning for the holidays needs to start sooner than it usually does. It doesn’t matter if you’re preparing for a huge party full of your extended family or having a simple dinner with your closest loved ones, adding a bit of festive cheer to your dining table is easy. 

Browse below to discover the best table setting ideas for your Christmas table: 

Festive Napkins 

Napkins are an easy and fun way to amp up your Christmas table. Check out the Kim Seybert Garland napkin set of four. These napkins are machine washable, making them very convenient for after-dinner cleanup. Their traditional embroidery creates a festive and nostalgic Christmas motif. Boughs of holly and berries adorn the linen Garland Napkin – perfect for a Christmas table!

Napkin Rings 

A simple way to add style to your table is with napkin rings. These Kim Seybert Glitz napkin rings in red, green, & gold (set of four) are the ideal choice. A festive take on one of our classic napkin rings, the Glitz Napkin Ring is inspired by Christmas ornaments and cheer.

Centerpiece Bowl

An essential part of your Christmas table is a beautiful centerpiece bowl. The Juliska Country Estate Winter Holiday Center Piece Bowl is sure to wow your guests and stands out. Fill the bowl with holiday candy, faux flowers, acorns, ornaments, or pinecones for that seasonal touch.  

Plates

The most important item on your Christmas table is the plates, of course. Have your guests dine on the Vista Alegre Christmas Magic set of dinner, dessert, and bread and butter plates to really get in the holiday spirit. This matching set has berries, holly, and garland around the border, while the bottom of each plate has a unique holiday scene.

Placemats 

Placemats protect the integrity of your table and add a bit of style. The Caspari Evergreen Wreath Placemat is an excellent choice because it is practical, stylish, and fits in with the seasonal tone of the rest of your table settings. 

Spoon Rest 

If you’re hosting a large holiday dinner, a spoon rest is a great addition to your table. It helps prevent staining and keeps contaminants away from the spoon. The Arte Italica Natale Spoon Rest has berries and pine boughs surrounded by snowy evergreens.

Table Runner

A beautiful table runner sets the stage for a festive Christmas dinner. Kim Seybert’s Holiday Garland Runner will be sure to transform your table. There are over 25 different beads used in crafting the delicate holiday branches of this runner. 

Salt & Pepper Shakers 

Who says salt and pepper shakers have to be boring? Spice up your holiday tabletop with our cute and charming Vagabond House Pewter Gingerbread Couple Salt & Pepper Set. Hand cast in luxury-grade pewter and finished by hand-painted detail imagining white ‘royal icing’ and red buttons, this happy pair is ready for the holidays. 

Water and Wine Glasses

Not only are glasses a necessity for your table, but the right set can also serve as a piece of decor. Enter the Natale Water/Wine Glass. It’s hand-etched outside of Florence, Italy and features a beautiful holiday pattern that is sure to elevate your table. 

Candles

Incorporating candles is a simple way to set the mood for your Christmas table. The Juliska Berry & Thread North Pole Scented Candle is the best choice. Scented with Woodland Vanilla, it is hand illustrated to look like the North Pole with its iconic Berry & Thread shapes.
