Some might say, as long as there’s a load of good food and drink on the go, that’s all you really need for Christmas dinner.
However, for that full-on festive vibe you’ll probably want a beautifully decorated table which you can sit around while tucking into your turkey (other foods are available).
Lucky, then, that we’re here to offer some fabulous dinner table dec ideas which will have your fellow diners cooing before the bird is even carved.
From traditional to modern to quirky, these fun, festive additions will perk up any Christmas feast and add that wow factor to the big day.
Table talk
Go traditional with a twist and fill your table with green and red tissue paper trees with a modern ombre effect. Add a few flickering candles and platters of good food and have yourself the jolliest Christmas with your favourite people.

Table manners
Even if tablecloths aren’t your thing, instil masses of festive cheer with a printed, red and green runner instead. Just add plain plates and a vase of winter stems for a classic Christmas mood.

Sweet sensation
This might be the sweetest table gift we’ve spied: delicious macarons in flavours, like eggnog and milk chocolate orange, delicately hand-painted with a touch of gold leaf for extra razzle dazzle. So sweet.
