After spring soirees, vibrant summer celebrations and the warmth of the harvest season, Christmas is every host's final opportunity to impress before the year comes to an end. (Unless you're planning a knockout New Year's Eve party, of course.)
I've been busy preparing for Halloween and Thanksgiving, but I haven't nailed down my Christmas decorating ideas just yet – although it looks like McGee & Co's new holiday entertaining collection might have done some of the hard work for me.
From intricate florals to gingham prints, the new collection brings together all my favorite rustic details. It's a nod to vintage style (pieces like the Coronet dinner bowls will look right at home amongst my favorite country grandmother-inspired tableware), but it's undeniably timeless.
I've been recreating Shea McGee's fall tablescapes at my recent dinner parties, so it goes without saying that I was thrilled to see McGee & Co's 2025 Christmas drop – and the holiday entertaining pieces are the icing on the cake. I love that they're subtly festive, with simple silhouettes and classic touches that will complement every kind of tablescape.
Whether you're on the hunt for table linens, crockery or a few fabulous finishing touches, you'll find something you love in McGee & Co's holiday entertaining collection. Check out my favorite pieces below.

Place card holders are my secret weapon when it comes to tablescaping: they'll always provide a thoughtful flourish that will get my guests talking. This set is vintage-inspired and wonderfully festive.
Gingham for Christmas? The idea hadn't crossed my mind until I spotted this stunning brown tablecloth. The fringed edges add a delightfully boho touch.
With its curved silhouette and cheerful red script, this platter will bring all the heritage charm to your Christmas table. I was won over by the intricate detailing along the edges.
If I could only choose one piece from the holiday entertaining drop, it would be these plates; they might boast a subtly festive color palette, but I'd show them off at any dinner party.
Whether showcased on a mantel or arranged artfully on a dinner table, this glass candle sleeve will look effortlessly elegant. Think subtle festive glamor.
Every Christmas table needs a few metallic touches, and these napkin rings are my top choice. I'd pair them with the McGee & Co Halcyon Napkins for a pop of color.
Halloween and Thanksgiving are still to come before the Christmas spirit really sets in, but I'm in festive mode already. I'm not just shopping McGee & Co's holiday collection, either: I'm loving Joanna Gaines' cabin kitsch tableware collection at Target. Think retro Christmas with a dash of rustic charm.
