Fraîche Table: Christmas Dinner

Christmas is such a magical time of year, and spending time with family and friends gathered around the table is so special. As this is our last Fraiche Table of the year, we planned out a Christmas Dinner to take the heavy lifting out of hosting this year!

This has been such a fun series over the year, from our Romantic Valentine’s tablescape to Cinco de Mayo to our Holiday Appy party. I hope this series has inspired you and made entertaining a little less intimidating and a little more simple.

The Christmas Flowers & Greenery

With the goal of making life a little easier, we placed a variety of winter greenery on the table as a beautiful centrepiece. We used the following items as our centerpiece of the table:

Cedar branches
Seeded eucalyptus
Green and red skimmia
White winter berries
White and dusty pink garden roses
Pomegranates

Everything came from Byland’s, our go to for all fresh cut flowers and greenery in Kelowna! If you have leftover tree trimmings, you could use those too!

The Christmas Table

In keeping with a more rustic theme, we skipped a table cloth and placemats and used a white textured plate from The Cross. We layered in our FAVOURITE gold cutlery, with these adorable heart stitched napkins from our Fraiche Kitchen collection. With both white and red wines part of our menu we included two different glasses. To finish it off, we decorated little ginger bread cookies for each place setting.

The Christmas Menu

Christmas is a time of classic comfort food and this menu checks that box. A simple appetizer welcomes guests into your home, followed by a roast chicken with all the fixings, and a gingerbread cake to finish the meal off. BC Wine Institute paired each course with a local BC Wine to compliment each dish.
