What better way to celebrate the party season than by hosting – and feasting with – friends and family? Leave yourself more time to enjoy the merriment by taking a leaf out of our Head of Christmas, Cydney Ball’s book, and investing in a few key pieces that will make your life as a host as easy as possible.
Here’s everything you need to perfect your Christmas entertaining setup.
For your table
Whether you’re investing in a new dining table and chairs, or you’re looking for new tableware for Christmas 2026, we have something to suit all. This year, our Christmas decorations and baubles are themed by four festive personalities: The enthusiast, The cherisher, The connoisseur and The curator. Whether you’re committing to one theme upon the tree and beyond, or mixing and matching elements of each throughout your home, set your table up to suit with a few of our favourite pieces.
Brilliant essentials
Not to be outshone by the glitz and glam of the tablescaping, these hardworking essentials – from flatware to food prep heroes – will make hosting easier this season.
