Check out our collection and all you’ll want this Christmas is setting the perfect holiday table with décor items only from JCPenney. Shop for them and make your Christmas extra special by decorating the dinner table like a pro.
Lay the Christmas Table
Create a magical atmosphere with a certain theme, like the classic, joyful green and red, frosty white winter land, rustic farmhouse, or a cozy cabin in the woods. Once the table setting for the Christmas theme is decided, place color-coordinated plaid table throws, table runners, placemats, and napkins. Accordingly, add matching salt and pepper shakers and DIY place cards on the table. A candle holder can serve as the Christmas table centerpiece with a couple of tabletop Christmas trees, snowman’s, garlands, and string lights around. You can even incorporate floral arrangements, candy canes, or float some pine in water-filled hurricanes. To double the impact, decorate the chair as well. Place Santa hat chair covers on the chair backs and maybe place a small gift on the seat for everyone to discover a special surprise when they go to sit down.

Impress Your Guests with Fun, Festive Dinnerware
Don’t be afraid to ramp up the Christmas theme in your dinnerware as well. To create some fun festive moments, add holiday-inspired dinner plates, soup bowls, salad plates, and so on. And since it’s Christmas, consider switching the flatware set from silver to gold. It will lend just the right amount of splendor to the dinner party. The gold flatware set is rust and corrosion resistant, so you can use it for plenty of family celebrations and festive dinners for years to come.
