Set Your Perfect Table for Easy Holiday Hosting

Set your perfect holiday table with these Thanksgiving dinner upgrades 

Thanksgiving is all about traditions: Watching the annual parade on TV, gathering around the table with friends and family and enjoying recipes passed down for generations. But if you’re using serveware that’s been hanging around your kitchen since last century, it might be time to switch things up. 

Whether this is your first time hosting Thanksgiving or your 21st, there’s always room for more elegance at the table. We’ve curated a list of modern hosting must-haves, chosen for better cooking, better presentation and a better time had by you and your guests.  

Libbey Selene Glass Cake Stand with Dome – Libbey Shop​ 

Sure, the turkey is the star of the show, but that doesn’t mean it can’t share the spotlight – especially with your homemade pumpkin or sweet potato pies. This beautiful acacia wood stand elevates your best bakes and creates a “wow” moment when you remove the glass dome for serving. 

 ​Libbey Acapulco Glass Pitcher Set, 89-ounce, Set of 2 – Libbey Shop​ 

You could have your guests pour from two-liter bottles into red plastic cups, but they’ll feel so much more pampered when you serve their drinks from this handblown glass pitcher crafted by Mexican artisans. Whip up a batch of iced tea, sangria or a fall cocktail and be the most gracious host on the block. 

Libbey Baker's Basics 5-Piece Glass Casserole Baking Dish Set with 1 C – Libbey Shop​ 

Your food-crusted glass baking dishes have certainly seen better days. It’s time to trade them in for crystal-clear new bakeware that looks as good arriving at the table as it did coming out of the oven. Our Baker’s Basics collection ensures even baking, so you can craft and serve your favorite recipes with confidence. 

Libbey Signature Greenwich 12-Piece Wine Glass Party Set for Red and W – Libbey Shop​ 

Is that a … measuring cup you’re serving guests wine in? If you find yourself running out of stemware before the party’s over, consider restocking your home bar with a fresh set of glasses. This 12-piece party set includes both red and white wine glasses, so you can satisfy every type of Thanksgiving wine drinker.
