Holiday hosting has two settings: ‘Everything is under control’ and ‘Where did I put the serving spoon?’ Either way, a few genuinely fun entertaining pieces can make the table feel festive in seconds. The SWINK 12 Days of Christmas Dessert Plates practically beg for cookies, cake slices, and a second helping of something sweet, while the Ribbon Stripe Holiday Icon Juice Glass brings a whimsical touch to breakfast, brunch, or that very elaborate family hot-chocolate bar.

Our favorite holiday entertaining ideas mix the things you’ll use with the things that make people smile. Swap everyday dessert plates for a playful seasonal set, or bring out cheerful glasses when friends stop by unexpectedly. You don’t need a professionally styled tablescape to create a memorable gathering—just good food, good company, and a few pieces that know how to have fun.
