It’s not the holidays without hosting. Whether you’re in charge of throwing a Chrismukkah feast or a white elephant potluck, you can’t forget about decorating your dining table.

Putting together a gorgeous holiday tablescape takes your dinner party to the next level. Better yet, you can do it ahead of time, so you don’t need to worry rushing through the process on the day of your gathering.

Our Better Homes & Gardens collection at Walmart makes setting up for the holidays effortless and even enjoyable. You’ll find everything you need to create a simple yet stylish winter table display that’s worth keeping out all season long.

If you don’t have a sturdy set of dinner plates yet, grab one before the holidays arrive. This Stoneware 12-Piece Dinnerware Set has a modern and durable design—perfect for a large party. With four dinner plates, salad plates, and bowls, you won’t have to worry about hunting down matching dinnerware. These dishes are also microwave- and dishwasher-safe, making for easy serving and cleanup.

Don’t forget to add a flatware set to the list of table essentials. You’ll want to have at least two more sets than there are people in your party, just in case someone drops a fork or an unexpected plus one shows up. Fortunately, this 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set contains everything from salad forks to soup spoons. For just $20, you get enough utensils for four, and the set comes in three different finishes: matte black, satin, and gold.

Don’t miss out on a quick drinkware upgrade before the party starts. Our Flared Stemless Wine Glasses are harder to knock over than regular wine glasses, and they’re also highly durable. Their flared shape also makes them ideal for wine tastings and stylish dinner parties alike. For just under $9 for a pack of four, you’ll have no problem gathering enough to serve up all your guests at your next gathering.

Now that you’ve got your dinnerware and drinks all figured out, it’s time to style the table itself. The Stripe Table Runner from our collection provides some extra flair. It also acts as a guide for setting out dishes and a protective layer between spills and your table.

If you feel like your dining room is still missing something, it could be the moody, ambient lighting. A holiday dinner party typically lacks natural light, but that doesn’t mean you need to rely on sterile overhead lights to warm up a room. Cozy taper candles are always a reliable dinner party pick, and these Taper Candle Holders retail for just under $8, and they come in both black and gold.

Are you more of a pillar candle fan? No problem. Our decorative Glass Lanterns show off your candles without risking them getting knocked over during a lively holiday gathering. Keeping the flames contained allows you to place them on and around your dinner table, and they enhance each candle’s light.

If you feel like you need more to get your table fully set, don’t stress. Here are a few more ideas for creating the most appetizing dinner party.

Now all that’s left to do is plan your holiday menu. You’ll find everything you need (and so much more) for your festive and chic table in our Better Homes & Gardens collection on walmart.com.
