Decorating your coffee table for Christmas is a simple yet impactful way to infuse festive cheer into your home. These ideas will help you create a stunning focal point that captures the magic of the season and impresses your guests.
From rustic farmhouse-inspired arrangements to elegant and modern displays, I’ve gathered a diverse collection of coffee table decorations to suit various styles and preferences. Whether you prefer minimalist designs or love to go all out with holiday decor, you’ll find inspiration to make your coffee table a beautiful centerpiece this Christmas. Let’s explore some wonderful ways to dress up this key piece of furniture and spread holiday spirit throughout your living room.
1. Red Berry Garland
A red berry garland adds a vibrant pop of color to any Christmas coffee table display. I drape it across the tabletop, letting it cascade over the edges for a natural, flowing look. The bright red berries contrast beautifully with evergreen branches or pine cones. For extra sparkle, I incorporate a string of tiny white lights intertwined with the garland. This creates a warm, festive glow in the evening. The berry garland also pairs well with metallic accents like gold or silver candleholders.
2. Glittery Pinecone Accents
I’ve found glittery pinecones to be a stunning addition to Christmas coffee table decor. Gathered from pine or scotch pine trees, these natural beauties can be easily transformed with a touch of sparkle.
I spray paint pinecones gold or silver, then dust them with fine glitter for an ethereal effect. Arranged in a rustic basket or scattered among ornaments, they catch the light beautifully.
For a cohesive look, I match the glitter color to my existing decorations. White glitter on pinecones complements a white pine Christmas tree theme perfectly.
3. Mini Evergreen Trees
Mini evergreen trees bring a festive touch to coffee table decor. These miniature versions of classic Christmas trees create a charming woodland scene. I’ve found that clustering a few different sizes adds visual interest.
White mini trees offer a modern, wintry look. For a pop of color, pink mini trees make an unexpected and fun choice. Adding tiny string lights to these trees creates a warm, cozy glow.
Live mini trees in small pots are perfect for those who prefer natural elements. They bring a fresh scent and can be planted outdoors after the holidays. Whether faux or live, mini evergreens capture the essence of Christmas in a compact form.
4. Red and Gold Candle Holders
Red and gold candle holders bring classic Christmas colors to coffee table decor. I’ve found vintage glass options add an elegant touch. Tall tapers in gold holders create a festive centerpiece.
Grouping votives in varying heights adds visual interest. Red mercury glass votives reflect a warm glow. Pairing them with gold metallic holders creates a luxe look.
For a rustic feel, I like wooden holders painted red and gold. Pine cone or reindeer motifs tie into the holiday theme. Arranging them with greenery and ornaments completes the festive vignette.
5. Plaid Table Runner
A plaid table runner instantly adds a cozy, festive touch to your Christmas coffee table decor. I choose traditional red and green plaid for a classic holiday look. Alternatively, buffalo check in black and white offers a more modern farmhouse vibe.
The runner provides a perfect base for arranging other decorative elements. I place a centerpiece like a small Christmas tree or wreath in the middle. Candles, ornaments, and greenery sprigs can be artfully scattered along the length of the runner.
For added texture, I sometimes layer the plaid runner over a neutral burlap or linen one. This creates visual interest while maintaining the seasonal theme. The plaid pattern ties the whole coffee table display together beautifully.
6. Faux Fur Table Mat
A faux fur table mat adds instant coziness to your Christmas coffee table decor. I choose a plush white or cream-colored mat to evoke a snowy winter feel. This soft base creates the perfect foundation for arranging other festive elements.
On top of the faux fur, I place glittering ornaments, pinecones, and battery-operated candles for a warm glow. The contrasting textures of the smooth ornaments and rough pinecones against the furry mat create visual interest.
For a pop of color, I incorporate a few sprigs of evergreen or holly berries. The faux fur mat’s neutral tone allows other decorative pieces to stand out while tying the whole look together with a luxurious touch.
7. Nutcracker Statues
Nutcracker statues bring classic holiday charm to coffee table decor. These iconic figures add a whimsical touch that captures the magic of Christmas.
I place a pair of nutcrackers as striking centerpieces, flanking a bowl of ornaments or pinecones. Their bold colors and intricate details make them eye-catching focal points.
For a more subtle approach, I tuck smaller nutcracker figurines among greenery or candles. This creates an enchanting winter scene on the coffee table.
Mixing different sizes and styles of nutcrackers adds visual interest. I incorporate both traditional wooden designs and more modern interpretations for an eclectic display.
8. Glass Ornament Bowl
A glass bowl filled with colorful Christmas ornaments creates a stunning centerpiece for any coffee table. I select a variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes to add visual interest. Mixing shiny, matte, and glittery ornaments achieves an eye-catching display.
For added flair, I incorporate some battery-operated fairy lights among the ornaments. This creates a warm, festive glow in the evenings. To complement the ornaments, I place a few sprigs of fresh evergreen or pine cones around the base of the bowl.
This simple yet elegant decoration instantly brings holiday cheer to the space. It’s also easy to customize with ornaments that match my existing décor color scheme.
9. Snowflake Coasters
Snowflake coasters add a delightful touch of winter magic to your Christmas coffee table decor. I’ve found that swapping out regular coasters for these festive alternatives instantly elevates the holiday ambiance.
Opt for coasters featuring intricate snowflake designs in white or silver. They complement both traditional and modern decor styles effortlessly. For a cohesive look, I choose coasters that match other snowflake-themed elements on my coffee table.
These seasonal coasters not only protect your table surface but also serve as charming decorative accents. I love how they catch the light and sparkle, adding a subtle yet enchanting element to the overall display.
10. Christmas-Themed Book Stack
A carefully curated stack of Christmas-themed books can create an elegant and festive focal point on your coffee table. I select hardcover books with attractive holiday-inspired covers and spine designs for visual appeal.
Varying the sizes of the books adds visual interest to the stack. I place larger books at the bottom and smaller ones on top. Three to five books usually work well without overwhelming the space.
To enhance the display, I add a small ornament, pinecone, or sprig of greenery on top of the stack. This simple touch ties the book arrangement into the overall Christmas decor scheme.
11. Rustic Touches
Wooden elements are key for a rustic Christmas coffee table. I place a birch log as a centerpiece, instantly adding natural charm. A wooden star ornament provides a festive accent.

These simple touches transform the coffee table into a warm, inviting focal point. The mix of wood and textiles captures the essence of farmhouse Christmas style.
12. Frosted Pine Branches
Frosted pine branches bring a touch of winter wonderland to your coffee table. I arrange a few artificial branches with a light dusting of faux snow on a tray or directly on the table surface.
The silvery-white frost creates a magical, icy effect that captures the essence of a snowy Christmas morning. I sometimes add small ornaments or pinecones to the branches for extra festive flair.
Frosted pine pairs beautifully with metallic accents like silver or gold candle holders. For a cohesive look, I incorporate other frosted elements like glass ornaments or votive holders nearby.
This decor works well in both rustic and elegant settings, adding a serene, wintry atmosphere to the living room.
13. Metallic Reindeer Sculptures
Metallic reindeer sculptures add a touch of elegance to Christmas coffee table decor. I find that silver and gold finishes work especially well, catching the light and creating a festive sparkle.
These sculptures come in various sizes, allowing for creative arrangements. Placing a large reindeer as a centerpiece surrounded by smaller ones creates an eye-catching display.
For a cohesive look, I pair metallic reindeer with other shimmering elements like mercury glass candle holders or metallic ornaments. This creates a harmonious theme across the coffee table.
Incorporating different poses – standing, grazing, or leaping – adds visual interest and a sense of movement to the arrangement.
14. Winter Forest Serving Tray
A Winter Forest serving tray brings a touch of enchantment to your coffee table. I place a wooden tray as the base and add miniature evergreen trees of varying heights.
Small pinecones and faux snow scattered around create a forest floor effect. Tiny LED lights woven through the display add a magical glow.
A few woodland animal figurines like deer or foxes complete the scene. This charming winter wonderland becomes a festive focal point, perfect for serving holiday treats or simply admiring.
15. Peppermint-Scented Candles
Peppermint-scented candles bring a festive aroma to your coffee table decor. I place a few red and white striped candles in holiday-themed holders for a classic look.
The minty fragrance evokes memories of candy canes and winter cheer. I arrange these candles alongside small potted evergreens or pinecones for a nature-inspired display.
For added charm, I incorporate candy cane-shaped candle holders or place peppermint-scented tea lights in clear glass ornaments. The soft glow and refreshing scent create a cozy atmosphere perfect for holiday gatherings.

Vintage-style Santas add a touch of nostalgia. I incorporate both traditional red-suited figures and more rustic woodland Santas for variety. Grouping them with miniature reindeer or elves creates charming holiday scenes.
Illuminated Santa figurines provide a warm glow. I position battery-operated ones strategically to cast a cozy light across the table. This subtle lighting elevates the ambiance, especially for evening gatherings.
17. Velvet Poinsettia Arrangement
For a luxurious twist on traditional poinsettia decor, I’m opting for velvet versions this year. These soft, plush flowers add an elegant touch to my coffee table centerpiece.
I’ve chosen a mix of deep red and blush pink velvet poinsettias, arranging them in a low, wide gold bowl. The contrast between the matte velvet and shiny metallic container creates visual interest.
To complement the poinsettias, I’ve added some faux pine branches and gold-painted pinecones. A few battery-operated LED candles nestled among the flowers provide a warm, flickering glow.
18. Christmas Gnome Decor
Christmas gnomes bring whimsical charm to coffee table decorations. These bearded figures with pointy hats add a playful touch to holiday displays.
I place a trio of gnomes in varying sizes as a centerpiece. Their festive red and green outfits complement traditional Christmas colors.

Gnomes also pair well with other decorative elements. I mix them with pinecones, ornaments, and small wrapped gifts for a complete holiday tableau.
19. Rustic Wooden Beads
Rustic wooden beads bring a touch of natural charm to Christmas coffee table decor. I string them together to create a simple garland that drapes elegantly across the table surface.
For a festive centerpiece, I fill a clear glass bowl with wooden beads of various sizes and shapes. Mixing in a few painted red or green beads adds a pop of holiday color.
I also use individual large wooden beads as candle holders. Drilling a hole in the center creates the perfect spot for a taper candle. Grouping three or four of these on the coffee table creates a warm, cozy ambiance.
20. LED String Lights
LED string lights add a magical touch to Christmas coffee table decor. I place them in glass jars or vases for a warm, twinkling glow. Wrapping them around greenery or pinecones creates a festive woodland scene.
Battery-powered options offer flexibility without cords. I intertwine the lights with ornaments or weave them through a centerpiece for added sparkle. Multicolor lights bring cheer, while warm white creates an elegant ambiance.
For a unique display, I arrange lights in the shape of a Christmas tree or star on the tabletop. LED lights are energy-efficient and stay cool, making them safe for use with delicate decorations.
21. Personalized Photo Frame
A personalized photo frame adds a special touch to Christmas coffee table decor. I’ve seen custom frames with family names or holiday messages engraved or printed on them. Some feature festive designs like snowflakes or holly.
These frames can display cherished holiday memories or current family photos. Placing one on the coffee table creates an intimate focal point. It’s a great conversation starter for guests.
For a cohesive look, I choose a frame that complements other decorative elements. Wood tones work well with natural decor, while metallic frames pair nicely with glitzier setups. A personalized frame brings warmth and personality to any Christmas coffee table display.
22. Ceramic Christmas Village
A ceramic Christmas village creates a charming focal point on your coffee table. These miniature scenes capture the magic of the holiday season in exquisite detail.
Place the village pieces on a festive tray or runner to define the display area. Add tiny bottle brush trees and faux snow to enhance the wintry atmosphere.
Battery-operated LED lights tucked behind buildings create a warm glow. This illuminates the intricate designs and brings the village to life.
For a cohesive look, choose village pieces in a similar color palette or architectural style. White ceramic buildings with gold accents offer an elegant, sophisticated aesthetic.

Antique brass bells add a touch of vintage charm to Christmas coffee table decor. I place a few larger bells as focal points, mixing in smaller ones for variety. Their warm golden tones complement other metallic accents nicely.
I arrange the bells on a rustic wooden tray or vintage book for an elegant display. Pairing them with greenery, pinecones, or red berries creates a festive look. Tying ribbons to the bells allows me to hang some from nearby decor.
The soft jingle of brass bells evokes nostalgia and holiday spirit. I love how they catch the light, adding a subtle sparkle to my coffee table vignette. Antique brass bells work well with both traditional and farmhouse Christmas styles.
24. Snowman Table Sculpture
A snowman table sculpture adds a whimsical touch to Christmas coffee table decor. I find these charming figurines capture the spirit of winter fun. They come in various sizes and styles, from realistic to cartoonish.
Some snowman sculptures incorporate other festive elements like pine branches or candy canes. Others stand alone as eye-catching centerpieces. I’ve seen options made from ceramic, resin, or even plush materials.

25. Festive Mug Collection
A festive mug collection can create a charming coffee table display for Christmas. I choose an assortment of holiday-themed mugs in various sizes and designs.
Some mugs feature classic motifs like snowflakes, reindeer, or Santa Claus. Others showcase modern patterns or elegant metallic accents.
I arrange the mugs on a decorative tray or wooden board. Filling them with candy canes, ornaments, or sprigs of evergreen adds visual interest.
For a cozy touch, I include a few mugs filled with hot cocoa mix and mini marshmallows. This invites guests to enjoy a warm drink while admiring the festive decor.
26. Holiday Napkin Rings
Holiday napkin rings add a festive touch to Christmas coffee table decor. Handmade felt designs featuring poinsettias or snowflakes create a charming DIY look. For a quick and easy option, pom pom garlands can be cut and glued into circular shapes.
Metallic or glittery rings bring sparkle to place settings. Natural materials like pinecones, cinnamon sticks, or evergreen sprigs tied with ribbon offer a rustic aesthetic.
For a whimsical touch, small ornaments or jingle bells can be attached to plain rings. Personalized napkin rings with guests’ names or holiday messages add a special element to the table decor.
27. Gingerbread House Centerpiece
A gingerbread house centerpiece brings a whimsical touch to any Christmas coffee table. I create a miniature winter wonderland by placing a handcrafted gingerbread house on a wooden board or cake stand.
Surrounding the house with artificial snow made from powdered sugar or coconut flakes adds a magical effect. I include tiny bottlebrush trees, miniature figurines, and battery-operated LED lights to enhance the festive scene.
For added charm, I incorporate small candy canes, peppermints, and gumdrops around the display. This edible centerpiece not only looks delightful but also fills the room with the inviting aroma of gingerbread spices.

I’m crafting a festive garland using pinecones and eucalyptus for the coffee table. The pinecones add a rustic touch, while the eucalyptus brings a fresh, aromatic element.
I’m arranging the pinecones at regular intervals along a string, interspersing them with sprigs of eucalyptus. The soft green of the leaves contrasts beautifully with the brown tones of the cones.
This garland can be draped across the center of the table or coiled in a circular pattern. It’s a simple yet elegant way to bring natural elements indoors for the holiday season.
29. Crystal Snowflake Accents
Crystal snowflake ornaments add a touch of wintry elegance to coffee table decor. I place a few delicate crystal snowflakes of varying sizes on a mirrored tray for a stunning centerpiece.
These translucent accents catch the light beautifully, creating a sparkling display. Surrounding them with tea lights in frosted holders enhances the icy effect.
For added texture, I sprinkle some faux snow around the base of the arrangement. This creates the illusion of freshly fallen snow on the coffee table.
Crystal snowflakes also work well hanging from a small tabletop tree or tucked into evergreen garlands. Their versatility allows for creative placement throughout the coffee table decor.
30. Silver Star Table Scatter
Silver star table scatter adds a touch of celestial magic to your Christmas coffee table decor. I sprinkle these shimmering stars across the table surface, creating a twinkling galaxy effect.
For extra sparkle, I mix different sizes of silver stars. Some have a matte finish while others are shiny, providing visual interest and depth.
To enhance the starry theme, I incorporate a few clear glass candle holders with silver star designs. The candlelight reflects off the metallic scatter, amplifying the magical glow.
This simple yet elegant decor idea transforms my coffee table into a festive focal point without overwhelming the space.
31. Knitted Table Runner
A knitted table runner adds a cozy, handcrafted touch to my Christmas coffee table decor. I choose a chunky-knit runner in cream or red for a classic holiday look.
The textured pattern creates visual interest and contrasts nicely with smoother decorative elements. I sometimes layer it over a solid-colored tablecloth for extra warmth and dimension.
Knitted runners pair beautifully with natural elements like pinecones, evergreen sprigs, and wooden ornaments. I also love how they soften the look of metallic accents and glittery decorations.
For a personalized touch, I occasionally use a hand-knitted runner made by a family member. This brings sentimental value to my coffee table’s festive display.

Silhouette candle covers add a charming touch to Christmas coffee table decor. I’ve seen these elegant accessories transform ordinary candles into festive focal points. They typically feature cut-out designs of holiday motifs like reindeer, trees, or stars.
When placed over lit candles, these covers cast enchanting shadows across the table. The play of light and shadow creates a cozy, magical atmosphere perfect for holiday gatherings.
I find these covers work best with pillar candles or large jar candles. They come in various materials, including metal, ceramic, and even laser-cut wood. Some are designed to fit snugly over specific candle sizes, while others are adjustable.
33. Holiday Coaster Set
Festive coasters add a touch of Christmas cheer to any coffee table. I’ve found sets featuring classic holiday motifs like snowflakes, reindeer, and Santa designs to be popular choices.
Some coasters incorporate seasonal patterns like plaid or Fair Isle knits for a cozy winter feel. For a more elegant look, metallic gold or silver finishes catch the eye.
Handmade options using materials like cork, wood, or ceramic allow for unique, personalized designs. Sets often come in groups of 4-6 to accommodate multiple drinks during gatherings.
Themed coaster collections can tie into broader holiday decor schemes. They protect surfaces while doubling as decorative accents when not in use.
34. Woodland Animals Figurines
Woodland animal figurines bring a charming forest feel to Christmas coffee table decor. I place small deer, foxes, and owls among pine branches and pinecones for a natural woodland scene.
These cute creatures can be made of wood, ceramic, or metal to suit different styles. I arrange them at varying heights using books or small pedestals for visual interest.
Adding a touch of whimsy, I sometimes include a miniature Christmas tree with tiny ornaments for the animals to gather around. Soft battery-operated twinkle lights woven through the display create a magical glow.
35. Birch Wood Candleholders
Birch wood candleholders add a rustic, natural touch to Christmas coffee table decor. Their pale bark and smooth texture create an elegant winter aesthetic.
For a festive centerpiece, group birch candleholders of varying heights. Place white pillar candles inside for a classic look.
Tea light holders made from small birch logs work well scattered across the table. The warm glow of candles through the birch creates a cozy ambiance.
Combine birch holders with pine cones, dried orange slices, and cinnamon sticks for a nature-inspired arrangement. This brings seasonal scents and textures to the coffee table.
36. Vintage Christmas Postcards
Vintage Christmas postcards add a charming nostalgic touch to coffee table decor. I display a collection of these delightful cards in a shallow wicker basket or antique metal tray.
The postcards feature classic holiday imagery like Santa Claus, snowy scenes, and festive greetings in beautiful old-fashioned fonts. Their faded colors and worn edges tell stories of Christmases past.
I prop up a few favorites against small easels or ornament stands. The rest are fanned out to show glimpses of different designs. A magnifying glass nearby invites guests to examine the intricate details up close.
38. Festive Tabletop Tree
A small Christmas tree on your coffee table creates an instant festive focal point. I opt for a 12-24 inch artificial tree with built-in lights for convenience. Miniature ornaments and a tiny tree topper complete the look.
For a natural touch, I use a potted Norfolk Island pine decorated with ribbon bows and pinecones. This living tree can be enjoyed year-round.
To coordinate with existing decor, I choose a tree in white, silver, or gold tones. Battery-operated fairy lights wrapped around the branches add a magical glow in the evenings.
Placing the tree on a decorative charger or tray grounds it visually on the table surface. A few wrapped “presents” at the base enhance the festive scene.
39. Red Berry Accents
Red berries add a vibrant pop of color to Christmas coffee table decor. I like to incorporate faux berry sprigs or small potted plants with red berries for a festive touch.
Scattering loose red berries around candles or ornaments creates an effortless, natural look. For a more structured approach, I place berry stems in clear glass vases or jars.
Red berry garlands draped across the table offer a classic Christmas aesthetic. Pairing them with greenery like pine branches enhances the seasonal feel.
I find that red berry accents complement both traditional and modern decor styles. They bring warmth and cheer to any coffee table arrangement during the holiday season.
40. Carved Wooden Snowflakes
Carved wooden snowflakes bring a rustic, natural charm to Christmas coffee table decor. These intricate pieces can serve as eye-catching centerpieces or elegant accents.
I place a large carved wooden snowflake in the center of my coffee table, surrounded by smaller ones of varying sizes. The warm wood tones contrast beautifully with metallic ornaments or white candles.
For added dimension, I stack books or boxes underneath some snowflakes to create height variation. A light dusting of artificial snow on the carved details enhances the wintry effect.
Wooden snowflakes also work well as coasters or trivets for holiday beverages and treats. Their versatility makes them a valuable addition to any Christmas coffee table arrangement.
41. Jingle Bell Ornaments
Jingle bell ornaments add a festive touch to coffee table decor. I place small silver or gold bells in a clear glass bowl for a simple yet elegant centerpiece.
For a rustic look, I tie red twine around larger copper bells and arrange them on a wooden tray. This creates a charming focal point that captures the spirit of the season.
Sometimes I hang tiny jingle bells from miniature Christmas trees set on the coffee table. The gentle tinkling sound when brushed adds a magical ambiance to the room.
Jingle bells also work well mixed with pinecones and greenery in a low arrangement. This natural, textured display brings warmth to the space while maintaining a festive feel.
42. Wool Felt Ball Garland
Wool felt ball garlands add a charming touch to Christmas coffee table decor. These colorful strands can be draped across the table or arranged in festive shapes.
To make one, I thread wool felt balls onto embroidery floss using a tapestry needle. About 12 balls per foot creates a nice fullness.
The balls come in various sizes, with 1-inch (2.5 cm) being common. I choose colors that complement my other decorations.
Once threaded, I position the balls how I want. They stay in place without needing to be knotted.
This versatile garland works well as a table runner, wrapping presents, or adorning a holiday cake. Its soft texture and vibrant hues bring warmth to any coffee table display.
43. Acorn and Branch Accents
Bringing nature indoors adds a rustic charm to Christmas coffee table decor. Acorns and branches create a woodland-inspired centerpiece that’s both festive and organic.
I arrange a mix of real and faux acorns in a clear glass bowl, surrounded by pine branches for a forest-like feel. Adding a few cinnamon sticks enhances the natural aroma.
For a more polished look, I paint some acorns with gold or silver leaf. This creates an elegant contrast with the raw wood textures. Placing LED string lights among the branches adds a soft, magical glow to the display.
44. Christmas Cookie Plate
A festive cookie plate adds a delightful touch to any Christmas coffee table. I arrange a selection of homemade gingerbread, sugar cookies, and shortbread on a decorative holiday platter.
Surrounding the cookies with sprigs of fresh pine or holly creates a festive look. A small glass of milk or hot cocoa complements the display perfectly.
For added charm, I sometimes include a handwritten note for Santa next to the plate. This nostalgic element sparks joy and conversation among guests.
The cookie plate serves as both decor and a tasty treat, making it a practical and beautiful addition to holiday coffee table styling.
45. Seasonal Potpourri Bowl
A seasonal potpourri bowl adds festive fragrance to your coffee table decor. I fill a decorative bowl with dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and pine cones for a natural, aromatic display.
Cloves, cranberries, and evergreen sprigs can be mixed in to enhance the scent and visual appeal. The combination of textures and colors creates an eye-catching centerpiece.
For added flair, I sprinkle in some metallic ornaments or wrap a strand of battery-operated fairy lights through the potpourri. This creates a warm, inviting glow perfect for cozy winter evenings.
46. Faux Antler Candle Stand
A faux antler candle stand adds a rustic yet elegant touch to Christmas coffee table decor. This nature-inspired piece brings warmth and character to the space without using real antlers.
The stand typically features branching forms mimicking deer or elk antlers, with candle holders integrated into the design. It can accommodate multiple taper candles or pillar candles depending on the style.
Paired with pine cones, evergreen sprigs, and metallic ornaments, a faux antler candle stand creates a cozy woodland vibe. The soft candlelight flickering through the antler forms casts beautiful shadows, enhancing the festive ambiance.
This versatile decor element works well in both traditional and modern holiday settings. It’s an eye-catching centerpiece that sparks conversation while maintaining a natural, organic feel.
48. Christmas Card Holder
A Christmas card holder is a charming addition to coffee table decor. I like using a small tabletop display to showcase festive greetings. A simple wooden frame with twine strung across works well for clipping cards.
For a more rustic look, I opt for a miniature ladder or sled propped on the table. These allow cards to be tucked between the rungs or slats.
A decorative wire tree or sculptural card holder adds an artistic touch. I find these eye-catching while keeping cards neatly organized.
Repurposing items like vintage photo holders or small easels creates unique displays. With these options, holiday cards become part of the coffee table’s festive decor.
50. Holly Leaf Placemats
Holly leaf placemats bring a classic Christmas touch to coffee table decor. I find these festive accessories perfect for protecting surfaces while adding holiday cheer.
The vibrant green leaves and red berries create a striking contrast against dark wood or glass tabletops. Some placemats feature embroidered or quilted holly designs for extra texture.
For a cohesive look, I pair holly placemats with other botanical-themed decorations like pine garlands or poinsettias. They also complement traditional red and green color schemes nicely.
Fabric placemats offer versatility, as they can be easily stored or washed between uses. More durable options include woven plastic or vinyl versions that resist spills.
