Hanukkah Decor & Entertaining

Modern Hanukkah Decorations: Candles, Plates and More

Prepare for the Jewish festival of lights with modern Hanukkah decor that captures the spirit of the season for 2024. Blue and white decor in the form of linens, dinnerware and beyond embraces the classic Hanukkah color scheme. Anchor the dining room with a blue Hanukkah tablecloth in a rich shade of indigo. Then, add contrast to the setup with white table runners and napkins, or consider blue and white patterned designs. Scatter a few metallic ornaments across the tabletop for a bit of sparkle. Next, turn your attention to the place settings. Hanukkah placemats are an effortless yet impressive Hanukkah party idea that elevates the occasion and protects your table in the process. Set each place setting with an elegant placemat, then accessorize with a place card and silver napkin ring to make each guest feel special. Once the table is set, turn your attention to the main event—the menorah. Whether you're using an heirloom piece or a modern menorah, be sure you're ready for all eight nights of Hanukkah with enough candles for each evening. Blue candles in particular complement the rest of your Hanukkah decorations. Worried about your menorah candles dripping wax on the dining surface or window ledge? Simply stick a placemat underneath to provide both style and functionality. Complement the glow of the Hanukkah candles on your modern menorah with a few blue glass hurricanes to fill the room with a cozy vibe.

Hanukkah Decorations Complete the Tablescape

In addition to modern Hanukkah decor such as candles and linens, it's important that your dinnerware is well-suited for the occasion. White and blue bowls, plates and more make ideal holiday place settings, while silver and gold flatware offer a modern element to the Hanukkah table. Before filling up your guests' Hanukkah plates with latkes, however, you need to be sure that there's stylish serveware that feels at home on the dining room table. For example, try loading up a circular or oval Hanukkah platter with classic dishes like brisket and brussel sprouts. Or, instead explore serving bowls, 2-tiered servers and beyond. Hanukkah plates also make a smart holiday gift idea, helping to enhance the celebration for years to come.
