Christmas is right around the corner! If you’ve stumbled upon this blog, chances are you’re hosting this holiday—and looking for inspiration to make it a meal to remember. If you’re struggling with where to start, we’ve simplified your search with four festive ideas for your holiday table based on type of meal and time of day. We hope it inspires Christmas table decor they’ll talk about for years to come!
01
A Casual Breakfast Buffet
If you’re hosting guests or girlfriends before a long day of festivities, fuel their appetite for fun and set the tone for a fabulous day with a casual—but so cute—breakfast buffet. Keep it laid back with our Balsam Lane dinnerware. With frozen scenes that aren’t strictly holiday, we love this look for any occasion this winter and Christmas season—before, during, or after the big day. Add a table runner with subtle patterns, perfect for keeping things simple yet stylish. Portola flatware in gold adds a touch of glam, while our new French Perle pitcher and Tuscany Classics Stackables blend utility with artistry for an uncomplicated yet elegant touch. Accent the buffet with tealight and pillar candles to add warm lighting that brings cozy charm to your dining table.
02
A Whimsical Brunch
Whether for kids or just the young at heart, we love this jovial Christmas table decor idea with a very familiar theme—the Grinch, of course! With plenty of Grinchmas goodies on display, your playful presentation will be the talk of the table. Adding illuminated elements like our Radiant Lit Jewel Tone Tree and Pine Tree figurals puts a twinkle in the eye while making spirits bright. For the centerpiece, consider incorporating candy canes, mini gingerbread houses, and ornaments for a cheerful touch. Top it off with votive candles and bright pops of color to tie your table setting together.
03
A Festive Dinner Party
Elevated, easy…and oh-so pretty. Perfect for a dinner party with your chosen family (think Friendsgiving meets Christmas), this elegant Christmas table was created with our new French Perle Berry dinnerware. Its charming ruffles and artisanal holly designs speak to the season softly. Layer in evergreen branches as a Christmas table centerpiece, along with Portola flatware and gleaming white plates for a timeless look. This elegant setup embodies the classic Silver & Gold Christmas theme, where metallic hues create a chic yet cozy atmosphere for your dinner party. Include enough wine glasses for a toast to the host, and add napkins with festive patterns or colors to complete your place settings. For a modern twist, add simple accents like fairy lights or a clear candle holder to keep the design fresh.
04
Classic Christmas Dinner
For your family’s big feast, we invite you to take merry to the max with our long-loved Holiday Dinnerware Sets. With a pattern introduced nearly 50 years ago, this Christmas dinnerware is a Christmas classic that’s here to stay. Pair the gold-detailed designs with coordinating gold portola flatware, and add height to your table with a vase bursting with evergreen branches and red florals. For a truly elegant Christmas table decor, consider adding small Christmas crackers or festive gingerbread houses to each setting.
