Holiday entertaining is the perfect opportunity to take out your festive glassware from the top cabinet shelf and the fancy linens that you were saving for a special occasion.

Because really, what’s more special than a table full of your friends and family? I come from a family that loves to host so setting the table and planning the bar and menu have long been a part of my holiday schedule. Rather than see it as a chore, I like to think of it as the time of year when I get to use some of my favorite serving pieces and decor. If you don’t have your holiday entertaining essentials yet, here are some of my favorite picks to put your guests in the mood to celebrate.
