Gathering around the table during the holiday season is one of the most special ways to spend time with your loved ones. Though, of course, you don't need anything fancy to make memories with your nearest and dearest, dressing up your table definitely never hurt anyone — and some spiffy Hanukkah decorations are a great way to start getting into the spirit of things.
After all, who doesn't love a modern menorah centerpiece or a festive platter to serve latkes? Spoiler: The answer is no one. You can most definitely can have fun crafting a holiday table that's dressed to impress the throngs of guests coming through to celebrate the Festival of Lights!
Here are the most stylish Hanukkah decorations to adorn your entertaining space — we skipped over the cheesy stuff and went straight to elegant decor. Oh, and bonus: On top of being fairly affordable (everything is under $100), they'll be reusable for years to come.

Elegant Plates
Pottery Barn Hanukkah Latke Stoneware Appetizer Plates (Set of 8)
Layer these stunning appetizer plates atop solid blue or white dinner plates for an elegant tablescape that needs no introduction.
Featuring a design inspired by traditional medallion symmetry, each plate includes the Star of David at the center. Though they're perfect for Hanukkah, they'll be equally as useful for other celebrations as well. Plus, they come in a set of eight, which is a win for family gatherings!
Top off each place setting with thoughtfully-designed napkins. They are a great way to accent the table, not to mention they're useful and reusable for years to come.
These 20-inch square picks are embroidered with the Star of David on an elegant, navy blue, organic cotton background.
These menorah-embroidered placemats are a sparkling, foundational element of your tablescape. This set of four 15-inch-wide mats is machine-washable, so it’s well worth the $23 price tag thanks to reusability alone.
Serve up latkes and other small bites on this serving tray platter. Not only is it on-theme and functional, but it’s a piece that is sure to be passed down through generations. Bonus: We always love having game rules at the ready.
The season's greatest side dish deserves the 5-star treatment! This stainless steel latke server transports everyone’s fave piping-hot, crispy potato pancakes to the plates of eager eaters. The loop on the handle makes it a cinch to stow away when not in use, too.
Keep the kids’ table on theme with this set of paper plates (no plastic, please) and napkins. Each one depicts the menorah display on the eight nights of Hanukkah, so they’re festive, easy to clean up, and you don't have to worry about anything getting broken.
Speaking of the children's table, this 5-foot-long Hanukkah garland will liven up any room with its simplistic felt design that also makes it more sustainable (and durable!) than your regular paper garland. It'll be a real hit especially if you are inviting little guests for the holiday!

My Daily Styles Jewish Star of David Blessing for Home Wall Hang
We love a thoughtful wall hang. Made in Israel, this beautiful Star of David Hanukkah decoration will bless your home, so all who celebrate inside will come to know love, happiness, health, luck, and success.
We’re guessing that you might be popping open a couple of bottles over the course of your feast. Why not turn those empty bottles into a Hanukkah decoration? Even better, a fully functional menorah! This clever cork menorah fits into any standard wine bottle opening, and it can be used for lighting candles or just as a fun decoration.
As for the candles themselves, we love this colorful, hand-dipped set. It includes 45 tapers, so the box consists of enough candles for eight nights of light, including the shamash. They’re minimal-drip, too, so you’re ensured a mess-free tablescape.
