Red Barrel Studio Blue Aricin Geometric Table Runner

Winter party décor goes far beyond red-and-green color palettes and poinsettia-centric centerpieces. Long after the holidays have passed, your seasonal entertaining arsenal can and should incorporate subtle, elegant nods to the ongoing winter season. From serving utensils modeled after leaves and twigs to salad plates that evoke stars in the cold night sky, tabletop essentials inspired by winter's natural beauty will elevate any dinner you host.

If you choose the right pieces—elegant, but not too fussy—you can use them across all kinds of gatherings, from formal family events (think: Christmas dinner) and milestone birthdays to a casual Thursday meal with friends. That's where we come in. To help you curate seasonal tabletop entertaining essentials you will turn to year after year, our editors went ahead and rounded up several of our favorite wintry accessories on the market. From unique wine goblets that you can use for your go-to winter red or to serve up seasonal cocktails and textured, on-palette table runners to gleaming flatware (gold feels so fresh during this season!) and a winter floral tea serving set (blooms absolutely can work in cold weather), there's something for every winter soirée on this list.

Whether you add our picks to cart or use them to inspire your own shopping list, be mindful of their overarching motifs—look to seasonal colorways, like nutmeg, pale blue, and cream, as you build your own roster of tabletop accessories. Working within a scheme that is winter-friendly—not holiday-centric—will allow you to use each piece throughout the entirety of the season.
