Setting the perfect Holiday Table



  • Start with a simple table cloth (white cotton or linen) – ensure it’s clean, crisp, and ironed
  • Add a festive holiday centerpiece – green branches with red & white berries surrounding a large candle
  • Look for themed holiday plates – Canadian Tire, Costco, or Home Sense
  • Use festive holiday paper napkins to match plates or cloth with a holiday ribbon or beautiful silver napkin ring
  • Always use your best flatware and glassware – you’ve been saving it all year, now’s the time to use it!!!
  • Silver salt & pepper shaker or source a holiday set featuring bells, angels or snowmen
  • If your table is big enough, bring your serving platters, gravy boat, and bowls to the table – it’s always nice to have a “Family” style meal at the holidays
  • Place small votive candles (Red or White) in clear glass containers
  • Finally use a gold glitter pen to write place cards for each seat
  • Sit down & ENJOY!
Wishing you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
