A St‑Germain Holiday

Holiday gatherings have a certain magic—filled with cherished moments with loved ones, delicious food, and an unforgettable atmosphere.

Whether it’s your first time hosting or you’re a dinner party virtuoso, here’s our guide to creating a truly enchanting evening for your guests this holiday season.

The Ambiance

To set the perfect mood, craft a space that radiates warmth and hospitality. Opt for festive décor, with soft candlelight and seasonal touches like mini pumpkins, trees and dried flowers. Add cozy details, such as blankets draped over chairs, inviting guests to relax and linger a little longer.

Looking to put a serious stamp on your hosting creds? These touches will add the oomph you need to elevate your soirée to an entirely new level.

• Elegant Candlesticks: To add a dash of warmth to your holiday table.
• Cocktail Napkins: A stylish touch for your guests’ drinks.
• Serving Tray: To present your cocktails or appetizers with flair.
• Champagne Flutes: For those bubbly moments under the mistletoe.
• Spritz Glasses: Ideal for serving your signature cocktail—the St‑Germain Hugo Spritz.
