Nordic Christmas Tablescape.

I love European Christmas decor!

When I lived in Germany, one of my favorite things I did was attend the Weihnachtsmarkts.

In December in Germany, there are Weihnachtsmarkts (Christmas Markets) in the middle of each town.

Each Weihnachtsmarkt has booths and stands filled with Christmas decor, ornaments, goodies, and gifts.

I was able to visit a few different Weihnachtsmarkts and they were all amazing.

Celebrating Christmas in Germany was one of my favorite Deutsch experiences!

While in Germany, I saw many Nordic ornaments, materials, and decor.

I also purchased many items from Germany.

This tablescape was a hard one to name.

There are many hints of Germany such as these Christmas pyramids aka Weihnachtspyramide

and these Räuchermänner.

These Räuchermänner open up and you light incense on fire and then they blow smoke from their mouths.

It is so fun to watch.

I do have a few pieces that are Nordic

and the plates and the table runner are more Nordic, so, I went with Nordic.

You may be wondering where the cups, napkins, and cutlery are.

Good question.

I didn’t set them out.

I did set them out but I didn’t like how cluttered it made the table look so I pulled them off for the photographs.

For the photos, I just wanted a very simple and organic look, so that is why I left them off. Then I put them back on

What is set is listed below.

Directions on how to assemble this Nordic Christmas Tablescape

I laid out the table runner and put all of the Christmas decor I have that is from Europe on it.

I set out the Nordic plates and crackers.

That’s it. It was so easy and came together so quickly—I know it is a bit incomplete but that is because I didn’t want to overcrowd the table with plasticware.

As mentioned, I did set the table with plasticware but I didn’t love the look for the photographs so I took it off, photographed it, and then put it back on again.

If you ever get the chance to visit Germany during December, do not miss the Christmas markets there.

Merry Christmas!
