Once you put away the fall decorations and dress up the house for Christmas and Hanukkah, it's time to switch gears and really get ready for the holidays. The holidays are about three things: family, friends and food. As a host you'll have all three in your home for the holidays, so presentation is paramount. Here are four holiday serving essentials to make your holiday entertaining classy.
Make It Roomy
For large dinner events or parties, keep dishes and utensils tucked into a corner when they're not being used. Compartmentalize flatware, napkins and glasses so guests don't get bogged down with tools to carry or work around before it's time to eat. Keeping a buffet caddy allows guests to grab items when they need them or flatware holders keep utensils neatly wrapped together until serving time.
Make It Warm
Even in a house filled with the warmth of an oven and friendly conversation, there's always a chance food will get cold. Cute, colorful cook-and-serve dishes with lids that can go straight from oven to table are ideal for holiday gatherings. You won't have to worry about losing heat while you're transferring the food to a serving dish, and the lids trap the heat inside if the meal doesn't get started right away. For food like soups, you can also use darling side dishes and bowls with lids to keep food hot.
Make It Stand Out
What you serve your food on has the potential to make your entertaining as memorable as your food. Matching holiday dinnerware adds character and spirit to any celebratory feast. Use your plates and bowls as an opportunity to bring reindeer, Santa, holly or stars to the table. It's one more way to give your guests an evening they won't forget.
Make It Flow
Children and adults alike will need something to drink, which is another opportunity to serve with flair. Dress up bottles of wine in bottle jewelry or wine socks for the adults, and dole out hot cocoa or hot cider for kids in mugs with cute cozies to keep their hot drinks warm. When they're drinking out of fun cups and glasses, your guests are bound to have good time.
Holiday entertaining is worth the work and with the right tools and decor, the party makes memories to last for years to come.
