The Best Christmas Table Decorations to Impress Your Guests

Before you serve your guests a delicious Christmas dinner (don't forget the festive Christmas appetizers and sweet holiday treats), you'll want to make sure your dining room table is full of picture-perfect holiday decorations. From candy cane place card holders to colorful Christmas villages, here are the best Christmas table decorations to show off your style and impress your guests in 2022.

Find inspiration for your space, whether you've already settled on a Christmas party theme (candy party or winter wonderland?) or you're attempting to stick to a particular design style (rustic or modern?). There are nature-inspired ideas that embrace fresh greenery like pine sprigs and eucalyptus bouquets, as well as table settings loaded with color, glitter and eclectic dinnerware for those who love a maximalist approach. You'll find everything from adorable reindeer place cards to elegant candlestick holders to vintage high-ball glasses (so you can serve your favorite Christmas cocktails in style).

Even if you're not hosting Christmas this year, you can still craft a gorgeous table setting that'll serve as holiday decor all season long. While we suggest some store-bought tabletop decor, you can make a ton of unique decorations at home if you're feeling inspired to tackle more DIY holiday projects this season. Get ideas for homemade ornaments (use them as name cards or hang them from the ceiling), stunning Christmas wreaths and easy Christmas crafts (like a Christmas tree flatware holder made from felt).
