Christmas centerpieces are an elegant addition to any holiday table and they are easy to make using some of the decorations and materials that you probably already have at home! There are many ideas out there for warm and inviting Christmas centerpieces that will impress your guests and add a cozy feel to the room.
Although less traditional, an edible Christmas centerpiece can add a unique and beautiful feel to any holiday meal! Depending on the size of your table, purchase a suitably-sized styrofoam cone from any local craft store. Fourteen to sixteen inches is a nice size for this delicious evergreen. Place small parsley sprigs over the entire cone, starting at the top, making sure not to leave any of the cone visible. The newly designed tree can be placed in plastic wrap and refrigerated until show time. The next step in finishing this lovely Christmas centerpiece is to trim the tree with munchies such as cheese cubes, cherry tomatoes, olives, shrimp, and any other small, edible items you like. These decorations can easily be affixed to your Christmas centerpiece using decorative toothpicks. If you typically provide a vegetable tray in your holiday spread, this is a great and creative alternative. Try adding crackers around the base of the tree, and including some of your favorite dips in small glass bowls or votive candle holders off to the side. The best part is, your Christmas centerpiece can be redecorated as the ornaments begin to disappear!
Another simple Christmas centerpiece idea is to take two footed cake plates and stack them. Dress the plates with holiday greenery, pine cones lightly sprayed with silver paint, small or medium-sized glass ornaments and some berries or miniature foil-wrapped boxes for a bit of extra color. Also try adding a sprinkle of fake snow to this arrangement to get you into the holiday spirit! This Christmas centerpiece is incredibly easy to put together and adds a feeling of sophistication to any table.
Consider other simple ideas such as a pre-lit holiday wreath with a candle in the center or arrangements that include your favorite Christmas items, such as a nativity scene or Santa’s reindeer. Fill a basket or decorate a silver serving tray with fresh pine sprigs, ornaments, and colorful bows. Just remember that your Christmas centerpiece is an expression of yourself and have fun with it!
