Wherever we spend the holidays, one element remains at the heart of our Yuletide celebrations: a table heaving with delicious bites and beverages. Whether your festive menu features herring and meatballs, or brims with rice porridge and glögg, the Christmas table – or Julbord in Sweden and Julebord in Norway – is where we gather with loved ones, savouring hearty food and cherished company into the quiet hours of the ‘silent night’.
Of course, it wouldn’t really be a Christmas table without a magical tablescape to match. How you dream up yours depends on the style you’re gravitating towards. Maybe you’re a bold maximalist, reaching for an eclectic, artfully layered mix of tableware complete with festive ornaments scattered across a striking tablecloth. Or perhaps you’re channelling a more minimalist mood, opting for a monochromatic, pared-back and refined set-up with dreamy winter blooms to boot.

Vibrant Xmas splendour or sophisticated shimmer, there isn’t a strict rulebook when it comes to creating your holiday tablescape. Still, you can’t go wrong with a Christmas-forward palette of reds and greens – think muted burgundy or dark olive if you shy away from paintbox brights – accented with touches of silver or gold and crisp winter white. To dial up the holly-jolly cheer, delicate bows, stars and elegant tree-shaped decorations make your holiday table a spectacular space to linger around long after the plates are empty.
Ahead, explore our curated edit of the best table décor pieces for a magical and stylish tablescape this Christmas 2025.
