To set a table for Christmas, start with the basics: a tablecloth, plates, and cutlery. Add some festive touches like a centerpiece, napkin rings, and place cards to make the table feel special. For a traditional Christmas dinner, you can also add a few festive decorations like Christmas ornaments or pine cones. Don't forget to set out drinks like hot chocolate or eggnog, and a few treats like cookies or candy canes to make the table even more festive.
