Chrismukkah Decorations

Sure, you could throw a couple of Hanukkah dreidels on the table along with some Christmas ornaments and call it a Chrismukkah centerpiece, but why not find the commonalities between the two holidays and bring them together in style.

Chrismukkah Decoration Ideas

The Stars of the Tabletop

Stars are a shared symbol of both holidays that can come together on a tabletop into a stunning display.

Look for silver Stars of David to accent the table or items with the star such as serving platters or candlesticks.

The star topping the Christmas tree is usually a 5-point star. Complementary silver stars with the 5 points that fit the style of your Star of David items should work well in creating a cohesive design.

Holiday Colors

Blue and white are the main colors of Hanukkah, red and green scream Christmas, and silver works with both holidays! A combo of all these colors might look like a crayon box, but a few select shades from each holiday's color palette could be fabulous.

Think blue, green, and silver! Bring in the silver with serving ware and the stars.

Look for blue and green glass, and choose one to feature for your barware, plates, even glass votive candleholders.

Create blue and green fabric layers on the table such as an azure blue tablecloth with a gossamer celadon green overlay or runner.

Purchase a couple of styles of white cocktail napkins, with one style featuring Christmas and the other a Hanukkah theme.

Menorah and The Christmas Tree

You can give each of these classic holiday decorations their own place, or create a display incorporating both ideas.

Set up the menorah on a fireplace mantle or a similar surface.

Place the Christmas tree in a corner or by a window.

Or consider a menorah flanked with two miniature Christmas trees, such as a blue, white, or silver tinsel tree, on a mantle or as a party table centerpiece.
