There’s something magical about opening your home during the holidays—soft candlelight, a perfectly set table, the glimmer of ornaments on the tree. Hosting for Christmas is not just about gathering guests; it’s about creating an atmosphere that feels thoughtful, warm, and beautifully appointed. With Scully & Scully’s timeless pieces, this becomes effortless.
1. Start with an Inviting Entryway
First impressions set the mood. A festive wreath, a few hand-painted Austrian Bronze animals tucked into garlands, or a sparkling Herend figurine placed on a console instantly says “welcome.” Add a crystal bowl filled with seasonal greenery or ornaments for a subtle but luxurious touch.

2. Set a Table Worth Celebrating
The holiday table is the heart of Christmas hosting. Let porcelain and crystal do the talking.
- Herend dinnerware layered with gilded accents creates a table that feels rich and refined.
- Bernardaud Grenadiers Votive Light add celestial light that elevates every place setting.
- A Haviland charger paired with embroidered linens brings classic elegance with a festive edge.
Finish the look with silver napkin rings, polished flatware, and a statement centerpiece—think evergreen boughs, berries, and a few glittering ornaments.

3. Serve with Style
Nothing impresses guests like thoughtfully chosen serving pieces. Crystal decanters, and silver-plated barware make every pour and every platter feel special. Whether you’re passing hors d’oeuvres or mixing cocktails, these pieces bring refinement to the most joyful gatherings.

4. Elevate the Living Room Glow
Once dinner winds down, guests naturally gravitate toward the coziest part of the home. Layer your living space with festive touches:
- A luxurious fur throws over the sofa.
- Decorative holiday pillows for warmth and charm.
- A gleaming ornament on the mantle or side table for a hint of whimsy.
Place a few candles in crystal holders to cast a warm, welcoming glow.

5. Thoughtful Touches Make the Magic
Hosting is all in the details. Set out a small Austrian Bronze figurines, keep a silver frame with a family holiday photo on display, or place a Herend holly figurine near the bar. These little moments of beauty help guests feel immersed in the spirit of the season.
