Get some Christmas dining room decor ideas for quick and easy ways to create a special tablescape without spending a lot of time.
I can’t even express to you how excited I am about next week! I love Christmas, but that’s really not what has me so excited…I can.not.wait for the week between Christmas and New Year.
If you have kids, you might feel the same way. We are so busy with activities and school and work and life, that we seem to be in constant motion from the start of school until around December 23. However, that one magical week, everything slows down. It’s glorious.
So, what does that have to do with my dining room? EVERYTHING. It means that we will have time to set the table and linger a little longer after our meals (unlike most evenings when we are rushing to clean up before we are all finished eating).
This year my parents will be visiting and having Christmas dinner with us, so I want to make it special (without spending a lot of time).
Here are a few simple dining room Christmas decor ideas:
Greenery Runner
I love adding a simple garland or sprigs of eucalyptus the center of the table. It adds some color and texture but still allows for dishes to be placed around it. You can check out my post about decorating with greenery here.
Place Cards
The only time of year I make place cards is for holiday meals. They are a special touch and add a personal element. However, I try to keep it super simple.
This year I just used a gold pen and wrote everyone’s name on a eucalyptus leaf that I grabbed from the center of the table.
Tapered Candles
Lastly, I finished it off with a tapered candle holder, I found here. We definitely don’t eat by candlelight any other time of the year, so it just makes the meal a little more special.
As a bonus, I set up a hot chocolate bar in our dining room every year. The whole family loves it and it’s perfect for after a meal or coming in from the cold!
I hope you all have a very, merry Christmas!

Your table looks so cozy and festive. I did something similar last year when my family came over, and I remember turning off my TV and putting a plain black screen on it so it wouldn’t distract from the decorations. I used one online and it worked perfectly, kept all the focus on the table.
Entertaining around the holidays is easier when the table pieces are forgiving. I learned to pick surfaces that handle heat and glasses that can be replaced locally if one breaks. Matching everything used to be the goal; now it is making cleanup painless so conversations run long. Because seasonal buys tend to be last minute, I sanity check availability and hardware quality before I commit. I keep a practical reference in my notes that reflects everyday user stories on sturdiness, delivery, and assembly – https://mainstays.pissedconsumer.com/review.html – to keep me from buying something cute that wobbles. If a chair squeaks on day two it will squeak when guests lean in for dessert. Selecting fewer, tougher pieces makes the room feel intentional without turning dinner into a staging project. It is the one decor choice that consistently lowers stress.
