blue and silver themed hanukkah table setting

Sure, latkes and sufganiyot are great, but there's more to the Hanukkah table than simply delicious food. A beautifully decorated table, filled with sentimental décor and sophisticated servingware items, is key to creating a warm (and memorable) Hanukkah experience for friends and family. "A good Hanukkah table should offer something sentimental about the holiday," says interior designer Sam Allen. "My grandmother always laid out the same blue paper link chains—drawing from the color of the Jewish flag—that she'd had since my mother was young to bring a sense of tradition and heritage to the table."

Along with meaningful table accents, a well-decorated Hanukkah table should also feature certain essentials. "A menorah is a must as the lighting of the candles is the point to the whole holiday," Allen says. "Every menorah has eight holders that represent the eight nights of Hanukkah, as well as one holder (called the "shamah") which is used to light all of the other candles. It can be homemade by children out of tin foil or really fancy and expensive—what it looks like is irrelevant because it's all about the symbolism."

Of course, like any holiday table, the goal is to create an inviting scene that will leave a lasting impression on loved ones. "Think about how your table will be remembered," Allen says. "Whether with family heirlooms or special serving ware pieces, there should be something that represents your own connection to the holiday."

To dine and design an unforgettable Hanukkah feast this season, shop for these ten stylish items.
