Santa on a Christmas Tablescape
Every Christmas season I have to create at least one Santa tablescape. This tablescape uses my two favorite Christmas colors, bright red and bright green. I bought the polyester bright green tablecloth on Amazon last year. I can’t remember where the red and white plaid runner came from, I have had it for a few years.
Mr. Christmas vintage style Santa plate
When I saw these vintage style Santa salad plates at HomeGoods a few years ago I knew I would be using them on a Christmas tablescape. They are made by Mr. Christmas. They came in a set of four with four different designs, two different Santa designs, a snowman and a reindeer.
I am kind of picky about the Santa images that I use. They have to have a cute and happy face.
Fiesta Shamrock Dinner Plate
These dinner plates are made by Fiesta and the color is Shamrock. I bought them at Macy’s online a few years ago. I have this plate in other colors as well because I like the quality and the design. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.
I didn’t like the shade of any of my red chargers for a tablescape I was working on last year so Hubby went to the Dollar Store and bought six chargers and spray-painted them the perfect red color for me. We have done this before and it is an inexpensive way to create a charger that is the perfect color for your tablescape.

Milano Red Ginkgo International LePrix flatware
This flatware set is called Milano Red Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for years but it is still for sale. I am not sure where I bought it. I use it often when I need a more informal red flatware set for a tablescape. I have this set in a few other colors as well. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.
These red and white cotton gingham napkins probably came from HomeGoods a few years ago. I often use a busier fabric design for my napkins when the tablecloth is a solid color to add additional interest. The ceramic Santa napkin rings were made by Christopher Radko and I probably bought them on Ebay a few years ago.
These resin Santa place card holders came from Ebay a few years ago.
Red Waterford Marquis Brookside Goblet
I often use this color combination for goblets on my Christmas tablescapes. I used my red Waterford Marquis Brookside goblets for this table setting. I bought them at HomeGoods several years ago. If you read my blog you have seen this goblet year-round on several tablescapes during the past few years. The green glass goblet on the right comes from The Vermont Country Store online. It is made by Mosser Glass in the U.S. and the pattern is called Georgia. They are really heavy glass and very good quality. I have bought a few of them at a time over the years. I also have them in cobalt blue. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the goblet colors that I use the most here.
Fitz and Floyd Peppermint Santa Cookie Jar
This centerpiece is one of my favorite Santa cookie jars. The cookie jar is from Fitz and Floyd’s Peppermint Santa tableware series made in 2008. I bought several different pieces in this pattern on Ebay several years ago. You can see some of those dishes on a Christmas tablescape that I did two years ago here.
This Santa and Mrs. Claus salt and pepper set was designed by Johanna Parker. I bought the set earler this year online at California Englished. I often add salt and pepper sets that match the tablescape theme to my table settings.
I can’t remember where this Santa face salt and pepper set came from.
I love the combination of red and green at Christmas time!
