Holidays are coming! Do you host any of the big family dinners or holiday parties? We have been hosting Thanksgiving for years and while we enjoy it, it is a lot of planning, time, and cost. So, anything I can do to make things go smoothly, I’ll do. We’ve picked up quite a few fun hosting accessories that we dust off year after year and I’ve got my eye on a couple I want to add this year. If you’re looking to stock up on food warmers, unbreakable champagne flutes, the prettiest cocktail sticks, and more. Keep reading, because this list will set you up with some great hosting favorites that’ll make your party the best one around. Get ready to be the hostess with the mostest!

1.Tossware – Premium, Unbreakable Champagne Flutes, Set of 12 –
No need to clean glass off the floor with these unbreakable, stackable, champagne flutes. They look a lot more expensive, but you won’t break a sweat if one of them accidentally gets tossed in the trash.
2. Gold Pearl Cocktail Sticks – Set of 200-
Gotta love cute cocktail sticks! This set of 200 will last you awhile and they’ll look so cute against the backdrop of Christmas lights.
3. Chilled Condiment Caddy with 5 Containers-
The ice filled condiment caddies that came out in full force this year are amazing. What a great way to keep these types of things fresh. Use it for appetizers, too.
4. Gold Mini Serving Tongs –
We always need more serving utensils than we think. A pack like this makes sure we have plenty. There are sets with serving spoons and more, too.
5. 3-Tier Appetizer Serving Stand-
I have a few different appetizers stands like this and I use them every time we host a party. Well worth the investment.
6. Portable Food Warming Tray –
Absolutely love this. We’re adding it to our line-up this year. So easy to roll out, heat up, and then cool down and store for next time.
7. Appetizer Serving Tray with Lids –
I love a rotating serving tray, especially for fruit and veggie dips. This one has lids! You can just pop the lids on and store it in the fridge when you’re done. Genius!
8. Triple Buffet Server with Removable Inserts –
Sometimes you need a serious buffet server to keep all those delicious dishes at the perfect temperature. The inserts remove for easy serving, filling, and cleaning.
9. Marble Wine Chiller – 3 Colors –
Chill your wine bottle, but make it glam. I love these marble wine chillers!
10. Electric Wine Aerator and Dispenser –
Save people from tipping, and sometimes dumping, out the wine bottle with this electric wine dispenser! So easy!
11. Mini Chalkboard Signs –
Want to note which pie is which or who baked what? This mini chalkboard set can be used and reused for years to come.
12. Drink Dispenser and Stand – Set of 2 –
I love my drink dispenser! So great for any party. Just make sure to fill one of those with iced coffee, because after all that holiday prep, you’re going to need it!

The holidays are coming whether we’re ready or not. I prefer to be ready 🙂 It really is the happiest time of year for me. I love all of the traditions, but it is a lot of work. I like to make things easier whenever possible.
