All the Jingle Ladies! This year, we infused our festivities with holiday magic and curated the ultimate holiday bash with Pfaltzgraff Winterberry dishes. This collection effortlessly blends whimsy and chic, transforming any gathering into a festive soiree. We hosted a memorable 6-person Christmas dinner party, showcasing the versatility of Pfaltzgraff Winterberry’s dinnerware and serving dishes. From the elegant table settings to the delectable feast, our Winterberry-inspired celebration was a true embodiment of holiday spirit. We are excited to share our Pfaltzgraff Winterberry dinner party with you.
Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Dinner Party: The Chic Holiday Linens
Up to snow good. Our tablescape featured pristine that brought a touch of frosty whimsy to the scene. These gorgeous linens weren’t just limited to snowmen – they also showcased charming reindeer and festive holly, adding an extra layer of holiday cheer to our setting.
Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Dinner Party: The Place Settings
It’s snow laughing matter. Each place setting featured a vibrant red charger plate and the Pfaltzgraff Winterberry tableware. The Winterberry collection is adorned with bright hollies, red berries and a dash of holiday spirit. This tableware perfectly coordinated with our Snowman linens. We layered a dinner plate, salad plate and bowl on each charger plate. We tucked the snowman napkins in between the dinner and salad plates.
Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Dinner Party: The Hand-Painted Glassware
Snow thanks. Let’s talk about the real showstoppers of our table – the hand-painted water goblets, wine goblets, and pitcher. We typically lean towards dishwasher-safe glassware for the sake of convenience. However the unparalleled details of this collection left us with no choice but to embrace the handwash life. Each piece was a work of art, with intricate hand-painted designs that added an extra layer of charm to our table setting. The water goblets and pitcher were so beautiful. Who knew filling water goblets could be so stunning.
When there’s a wine, there’s a way. The wine goblets were stunning. To kick things off, we started with a Brachetto – an Italian wine known for its striking ruby color. What sealed the deal? The fact that it effortlessly blended in with the glassware and the overall vibe of our table setup. Sipping Brachetto from these sleek wine goblets was the perfect.
Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Dinner Party: Simple Floral Arrangements
Flower to the people. Who says your flower game has to break the bank? We sprinkled some DIY magic on our tablescape with fresh flowers that were as easy on the eyes as they were on the wallet. We opted for red and white roses – because why pick one color when you can have the best of both worlds, right? We tossed in some baby’s breath for that extra pizzazz, and with a snip here and a snip there, we transformed our finds into adorable arrangements. Picture it: tiny bud vases alternating with red or white blooms. We added silver ornaments and glittery snowflakes for an extra festive touch.
Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Dinner Party: The Appetizers
Eat, drink and be cranberry. We kicked off the meal with a homemade cranberry tart and a variety of tasty dips, setting the vibe for the dinner party. When it comes to appetizers, our homemade cranberry tart is a true showstopper. Despite its ease of preparation, our guests marveled at its intricate presentation. The simplicity of the tart recipe is the real magic here. The buttery, flaky crust comes together effortlessly, providing the perfect foundation for a harmonious blend of cranberries, sugar, and a subtle hint of citrus zest. We displayed the homemade tart on a two-tiered Pfaltzgraff Winterberry platter, which added a simple yet elegant touch to our spread.
Once plated, its vibrant red color and glossy finish make a stunning addition to the appetizer spread, seamlessly aligning with the festive charm of the tablescape. This cranberry tart isn’t just an appetizer; it’s a culinary masterpiece that effortlessly combines simplicity with a visual appeal that will leave your guests in awe.
Get ready for a snack attack! We dished out a classic favorite – chips and the creamiest cream cheese dip, jazzed up and served in its very own chips and dip bowl. This dynamic duo brought a satisfying crunch and a burst of savory goodness to the table, creating a laid-back and enjoyable munching option for everyone to graze on throughout the evening. We’re spilling the dip secrets: Trader Joe’s garlic and onion cream cheese dip, because let’s face it, it’s the real MVP of party snacks. We took it up a notch by topping the dip with a fancy mix of crushed pistachios and juicy pomegranate arils. Who knew chips and dip could be delicious?
Our spread didn’t stop there – we elevated the appetizer game by presenting a trio of crowd-pleasing dips. Hummus, zesty salsa, and refreshing tzatziki found their perfect home in the Santa dipping bowls, accompanied by an array of crackers and bread. This dynamic combination added a burst of diverse flavors and textures, creating a savory symphony that catered to every palate. The charming Santa bowls not only served as vessels for these delectable dips but also added a festive touch to our appetizer selection, making it an instant hit among our guests. We placed adorable cheese knives in each dipping bowl too.
Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Dinner Party: The Holiday Salad
Now, let’s talk about the salad! We rolled out a zesty arugula sensation decked out with pecans, dried cranberries, and little goat cheese balls. But here’s the kicker – we turned those goat cheese balls into festive little Christmas ornaments by giving them a crushed pecan makeover. Yes, you heard it right – edible decorations for the win! The salad looked beautiful on the Pfaltzgraff Winterberry oval platter.
Not only did they add a playful twist to the salad, but they also had everyone at the table wanting an edible ornament in the salad bowls.
Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Dinner Party: The Lasagna
Now, let’s dive into the main event – a masterpiece we proudly crafted: a homemade veggie lasagna, baked to perfection in a stylish baking dish. What’s the secret ingredient to our culinary success? It’s not just about the flavors; it’s about the presentation. Our choice of chic bakeware isn’t just for show; it’s a functional style statement that effortlessly transitions from the oven to the table.
Baking this pasta perfection directly in the dish not only preserves its warmth but also adds a touch of rustic charm to our dining experience. Because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a dish that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also looks like a work of art on the table? Get ready for a serving of veggie lasagna bliss – it’s a feast for the eyes and the soul, especially in a Pfaltzgraff Winterberry dinner plate.
Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Dinner Party: The Desserts
But the indulgence didn’t stop there. For dessert, we pulled out all the stops, treating our guests to a delightful array of sweet treats. From apple tarts to gingerbread cookies and a luscious red velvet cake, our dessert table was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. Sweet dreams were undoubtedly made of these delectable treats.
The our apple tart is a symphony of flavors and textures that will leave you craving more. Picture a buttery, flaky crust cradling a medley of thinly sliced, caramelized apples. Each apple layer is delicately spiced with cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg, creating a warm and comforting aroma that wafts through the air. The apples achieve a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, while a glossy apricot glaze adds a subtle sheen, inviting you to take that first decadent bite. We served the tart on a cake plate.
Behold the pièce de résistance of our dessert tableau – the red velvet cake. This decadent confection not only satisfies sweet cravings but also complements our tablescape with its vibrant, velvety allure. The rich crimson hue of the cake, adorned with luscious cream cheese frosting, creates a striking visual contrast against the snowy white linens and festive Winterberry tableware. We served the red velvet cake on a cake plate.
The final dessert was gingerbread cookie sandwiches – a whimsical treat that embodies the festive spirit in every bite. Two perfectly spiced gingerbread cookies hug a generous layer of creamy, velvety filling, creating a symphony of textures and flavors.
The aromatic blend of ginger, cinnamon, and molasses in the cookies pairs harmoniously with the sweet indulgence of the filling. We served these delicious cookies on a two-tiered platter.
Dessert reached perfection as we savored a trio of delights – the warm spiciness of the apple tart, the decadence of the red velvet cake, and the whimsical charm of gingerbread cookie sandwiches. Each bite was a unique masterpiece, culminating in a sweet finale that encapsulated the joy of the holidays.
