Peppermint Party
Begin decorating with a chocolate-brown tablecloth. Add a red runner down the center of the table for a pop of peppermint color .
Editor's Tip: If you don't have a red runner, this look can be easily re-created by folding a red tablecloth. Line the runner around the edges with white rickrack -- no sewing required!

Sweet Setting
Silver chargers, simple white plates , and red-and-chocolate napkins make for a pretty place setting that party-goers will love.

All Wrapped Up
Make napkins look like gifts by folding them into 5-inch squares. Then wrap them with a band of decorative paper and ribbon. To finish the look, tie on gift tags, which also can double as place cards.

What a Treat!
Embellish the bottom of the glasses with a band of white or red ribbon, and hang a candy cane over the edge.
Editor's Tip: For more sweet treats, create a themed sweets buffet with trays of chocolate truffles, white chocolate covered pretzels, sugar cookies , and cupcakes. Drizzle melted chocolate and red and white frosting on top.
Contemporary Centerpiece
For the centerpiece, fill a large glass vase with contemporary red and brown potpourri. It's super simple -- and it looks great!

Light the Night
Next, warm the party up with some candlelight. Place two brown pillar candles on short-footed glass pedestals on either side of the centerpiece. Embellish candles with decorative paper and ribbon, and hot-glue an opaque white vase gem to the center of the candle.
Editor's Tip: Paper-wrapped votive holders look adorable and add a variety of heights to your candy-coated table.
