Dining Room Décor:
To dress up the dining room for holiday gatherings, cover your chairs in basic white slip covers, but drape them in artificial holly and ivy or strings of cranberries to give the room an instant makeover.
Holiday Stemware:
Garnish your serving glasses this holiday season with colored sugar to make your guests feel as if they are toasting friends at the North Pole. Simply warm up red or green sugar crystals until they coalesce; then dip the rim of your martini glass (or any other serving glass) into warm water; finally, dip the warm rim of the glass into the sugar, resulting in a festive sugar rimmed cocktail!
Holiday Center Pieces:
For a quick, easy and inexpensive centerpiece, fill a tall glass hurricane vase with an assortment of colored ornaments of varying shapes and sizes. For a fun twist, set a few of these around your family room and home to give the space a festive feel.
Beverage Garnishes:
Freeze cranberries, raspberries and mint leaves in ice cubes to adorn water glasses and cocktails alike.
Alternate cranberries and green grapes on cocktail toothpicks for a fun accent to your holiday drinks.
