For a stress-free and successful holiday hosting season, it helps to have the right essentials. And you don’t have to buy different things for each holiday gathering—specific plates set for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hanukkah, special glassware just for a cocktail party, particular linens for New Year’s Eve… it’s not needed. We suggest investing in entertaining finds that will work for any occasion and gathering; that way you can use it this holiday season and beyond.
Take a look at our picks below and happy hosting!
