It doesn’t take a calendar to recognize that the holiday season is here. You can go outside and feel that welcome chill in the air, the crisp weather that has you pulling your favorite sweaters out from the back of the closet. You can hear the holiday tunes or look outside and see the foliage. It seems like the whole world is getting into holiday form—and your home shouldn’t be any exception. 

That’s doubly true if you’re hosting a get together with friends and family. If you want to be this holiday season’s MVP, you should set the seasonal tone where it matters most: the dinner table. This goes beyond just serving your guests a rich and delicious meal. The dinner table is where friends and family gather, so why not make it a festive tableau that inspires holiday cheer? 

Right now your dinner table might look like a blank canvas. But with a few items, you can transform it into a holiday masterpiece. Even better, you won’t have to navigate the crowds at your local mall to pick up your seasonal supplies. All these holiday essentials are available on QVC. Also, right now new QVC customers can get $15 off their first purchase of $35+ with code HOLIDAY, so take advantage!
