Holiday Table Decor to Impress Christmas Guests

Christmas table decorations can add a sparkling touch to your holiday celebration. You can order a holiday floral arrangement from your local florist or you can make your own centerpieces and décor. Stars, snowmen, angels, greenery, candles, and other Christmas icons make perfect choices for holiday centerpieces. There are also lots of options available on the internet. Here are some ideas to check out in all price ranges:

Nutcracker Army

Decorate your table with an "army" of Nutcracker soldiers. You can find them at most discount stores and gift shops too. Pier One has some available for $20 that are really beautiful. Nutcrackers will add a huge splash of color to your holiday table. Most stand tall and proud, but you can also find some riding horses and doing other unique actions. Have fun as you create your own army. The Nutcrackers could also be "favors" for your guests to take home following the celebration.

Poinsettia Candle Arrangement

JC Penney offers a beautiful pre-made arrangement of poinsettias and candles for only $19.99. Greenery, ribbon and candles make for a perfect centerpiece for your holiday table featuring the traditional poinsettia. The colors of Christmas come to life in this elegant arrangement.

Thomas Kinkade Village Centerpiece

Amazon.com offers a fabulous Thomas Kinkade centerpiece. It holds four taper candles and features a Victorian Christmas scene of five building and 50 figurines. Priced at $135, it's sure to be a treasured holiday decoration for years to come. Kinkade's work is at its best in this delightful centerpiece.

Nativity Scene

Kohl's offers a beautiful nativity scene that would make a perfect table centerpiece. It is priced at $27 and features white and gold figurines. Adding a few white tea light candles among the scene would add a beautiful glow to your holiday table. The true meaning of Christmas comes to life in this gorgeous centerpiece.

Homemade Candle Arrangement

If you want to get "crafty" with your centerpiece, consider making one. Take several white pillar candles and hot glue cinnamon sticks around the perimeter of the candles. Then tie a pretty ribbon around the candles and cinnamon sticks. Arrange the candles on your table in a nice formation. Children will love helping create this centerpiece and will beam with pride as the holiday meal is enjoyed. The fragrance of the cinnamon will fill the room as the candles provide a beautiful glow.

Gift-Wrapped Table

Here is another do-it-yourself idea. Consider creating a unique table-scape by using wide ribbon to make your dining table look like a present. Secure strips of ribbon under the table with strong tape. Then add a large coordinating bow to the center of the table, securing it with the tape. You can have a beautiful table cloth under the ribbon or just have the ribbon against your table top.
