An all white table setup can look cozy and elegant at the same time. Use a faux fur runner, white plates, clear glassware, and soft candles along the center. Keep food and drinks away from the fur runner because holiday stains are apparently part of the season.

A frozen lake dance floor look can work for a larger Christmas party or holiday reception. Use blue and silver lighting with safe non slip floor decals or removable vinyl shapes. Avoid loose mirror tiles or slippery materials because dancing is hard enough without accidental ice skating.
