Holiday Hosting Essentials.

I can’t believe that Christmas is just a week away! I am hosting Christmas Eve dinner at my house. My dad and I have been strategizing on the menu, which is fun… and I’m planning a beautiful tablescape (per ush) that I will share after the break. Today though, I wanted to share a few last minute fun things to make your holiday hosting experience a little more special and fun.

Holiday Hosting Essentials

There is a lot to say. First of all, I just bought this wine bottle holder. Isn’t it cool? Tinned fish makes a great little snack (and an equally charming hostess gift). I LOVE these placemats. And there are so many great holiday candles out there but for me the Hotel Lobby one takes first place.

There are also a lot of affordable treasures in this roundup. I used this eucalyptus garland on my Christmas table last year and will do the same again this year. This is my favorite inexpensive flatware; it has held up great. I love this tiered platter – it is a great price and comes in so many colors. These candles are a new Amazon fav; I got brown ones for Thanksgiving and green for Christmas eve. Lastly: party crackers are such a fun touch!!! I got this exact set for my holiday table. My nice is going to go bonkers for them.

PS – if you need a holiday cocktail to try, give these Christmas cranberry cocktail ideas a whirl! Or: how to make eggnog.
