We've included some classic Christmas table centrepiece ideas, but in our round-up you'll also find some unique and contemporary designs guaranteed to be a talking point at your table this year.
And check our our round-up of the best Christmas tablecloths and runners to make your Christmas dinner extra special.
Best Christmas table centrepieces on the market for 2025
Mr Crimbo Wooden Christmas Candle Holder
Going for a silver Christmas decor scheme this year? This silver Christmas table centrepiece from Irvine-based brand Mr Crimbo could be just the job, with silver baubles nestling between grey-toned rustic logs and artificial foliage and pinecones with a light dusting of snow. In the centre, you'll find four silver glass candle holders, ready for you to fill with your favourite tealights or winter scented candles.
We love that it's unmistakeable Christmassy while still retaining a pared-back natural look. Plus, when not on your dinner table it's just the right size for a window decoration or to sit on a mantelpiece.
Frosted Silver and White Candle Ring Style Christmas Centrepiece
A simple and thoroughly festive addition to any table, this centrepiece wreath by Etsy maker BloomsJewelDesign features pinecones, frosted foliage and gorgeous artificial white roses. At roughly 36cm (14in) across, with a hole in the centre, it's the perfect size to hold a candle.
It would also work well as a small Christmas wreath for your mantelpiece or front door when not needed on the table.
Light-up Brush Trees Forest
Gorgeously understated, this snowy alpine scene would complement a Scandi Christmas scheme. We love that it comes pre-lit with 60 warm white micro LED lights (3 x AA batteries not included), to add a magical glow to your gathering.
Copper berries LED light-up centrepiece
Candles aren't a good centrepiece option for everyone, especially if you're planning on serving your Christmas feast buffet-style! As a flame-free alternative, we love this delicate table decoration from Dibor, a Yorkshire-based brand specialising in French country and shabby-chic home accessories.
The centrepiece comes pre-lit with LED lights (3 x AA batteries not included), guaranteed to put a magical twinkle on those glittering bronze and copper berries.
Pluto Produkter North Star Spinner Tealight Candle Holder
If simple and elegant is your style, look no further than this small but eye-catching candle holder from Scandi home accessories brand Pluto Produkter, available at John Lewis. The mobile-style strands of plated iron stars hang down above a base that's just the right size to hold a tealight. At £10.99, we reckon it's an absolute steal!
Vanthylit White Twig Christmas Tree with Lights
We're seeing more and more twig trees used as Christmas decorations, and it's easy to see why - those spindly bare branches are super-atmospheric, especially with snug Nordic style still firmly in fashion.
This sophisticated white birch tree makes it a great choice if you want those hygge vibes at your dinnertable this year. Plus, it comes pre-lit with 24 LED lights (3 x AA batteries not included) for added cosiness.
At 2ft. tall, it's perfect for a large table, and can also be used to decorate other corners of your home when you're not at the table. We think it would look fantastic on a hearth!
Christmas Table Display Hoop
Just because you're not a fan of traditional Christmas decor, doesn't mean you can't find the right centrepiece for you! This stunning contemporary hoop design is handmade by Etsy maker Indipity, and sits atop a real wood slice.
To make it your own, you can choose the size of your hoop and opt for two hanging stars. There is also a range of hoop colours to choose from - natural wood, black, silver, gold, and rose gold. All options come with a floating candle within a glass bauble to give your dinner table that cosy glow.
