If you already decorate your house with festive Christmas decor — light, tree, stockings, and more — you won't need to do much for a stylish and fun holiday cocktail party [1] look. Cover the tables with red satin runners. Place the appetizers [2] on shiny red chargers and stack gold houndstooth napkins next to the alcohol. Choose a simple, small old-fashioned glass that works well with both egg nog and champagne punch [3]. Fragrant wreathes and fresh poinsettias add lushness to the room. A fire in the fireplace makes the room cozy and inviting. Light candles for a glowing atmosphere. Lastly, hang mistletoe in several prominent walkways for a little extra excitement.
