Looking for hanukkah table decor with a little something extra? Think blue patterned plates, glittery dreidels and little bundles of gelt at each seat.
There’s plenty to choose from here, including Hanukkah displays and a few general winter table ideas you can adapt.
You can keep things simple or go all out with flowers and sparkle. Start with your favorite dishes, then choose a centerpiece or a small detail to bring the table together.
Hanukkah Table Ideas Worth Saving
blue runner and little dreidels
We’re starting off strong with this pretty blue runner and silver-colored menorah. I love the repeated menorah designs down the center.
The little blue dreidels make the table even cuter.
Try plain white plates if you want to follow this look. They leave plenty of room for the patterned runner to stand out.
gelt favors and greenery
How cute are those little coin bundles? Each one has a pale blue bow beside a place card.
The tall clear cylinders repeat the same gold and silver colors down the table.

Pair navy napkins with white plates to try this combination. I’d keep the little bows too!
sparkling dreidel tags
I am obsessed with these glittery dreidels. The turquoise, silver and gold-colored finishes look so pretty beside the simple brown tags.
For your own table, try a tagged dreidel at each place setting instead of a separate folded name card.
patterned plates and blue napkins
If you love blue-and-white dishes, this one is for you. The plates mix floral shapes with stars, while fringed blue napkins sit across the larger settings.
Gather your napkins through silver-colored rings to follow the look. The little amber candleholders are a lovely extra touch.
deep blue candle cylinders
These blue candleholders may just be one of my favorite details here. I love the tall dark cylinders beside the pale blue goblets.
Scattered gelt and little dreidels fill the spaces between them.

The ornament bowls and tree give this a mixed-holiday setting. You can borrow just the blue candleholders and gelt for your Hanukkah table.
star-shaped treat dish
How adorable is this serving dish? The blue star has separate sections for decorated cookies and shiny wrapped treats.
Even the little floral designs inside are worth a closer look.
Try a shaped dish like this on your dessert table if you don’t want a large centerpiece.
blue stars on tall branches
If you are looking for a true eye-catcher, then this one is for you. Blue stars and silver-colored dreidel ornaments hang from tall pale branches above blue hydrangeas.
I especially love the white pinecones tucked among the flowers. For dinner, you might prefer this taller arrangement on a side table.
navy plates and dark tapers
Don’t want to go overboard with patterns? No problem! This winter table keeps things simple with navy plates, silver-colored chargers and dark taper candles.
It isn’t specifically a Hanukkah setting, but you could borrow the colors and add a dreidel beside each plate. Keep any greenery well away from candle flames.
silver stars and napkin pockets
This is such a cute way to dress up a plain white plate. A deep blue napkin holds the cutlery, with a silver-colored craft-stick star resting across the front.
Try the same pocket fold for your place settings. A small tag tied to the star could hold each guest’s name.
scalloped plates and dotted napkins
I love these scalloped white plates over the dark blue chargers. The pale blue goblets and little dots on the napkins make the setting feel a little more playful.
If you want a similar look, choose one small patterned detail rather than patterned dishes. Those sparkling napkin rings are pretty enough on their own.
golden tapers and leafy garland
Want something other than blue and silver? This general greenery setting gives you another starting point.
Golden-yellow tapers rise above a full leafy garland, with plain pale plates below.

For a Hanukkah version, you could add small gelt favors at each seat. I’d leave the dishes simple just like these.
stitched blue star placemats
These blue star placemats are so pretty! The pale stitching follows the points and crosses through the middle, so you still have a lovely design even before adding a plate.
Pair yours with white dishes if you want the blue edges to show clearly. The silver-colored coins nearby are a sweet finishing detail.
pale blue sculptural candleholders
I am obsessed with the shapes of these pale blue candleholders. The stacked rounded sections look so cute beside the simple cream tapers.
This is a shelf display rather than a Hanukkah table, but the holders could work as extra table accents. Move them off the books onto a stable, heat-resistant surface before lighting candles.
painted candle tray
Don’t want to add more actual candles? This blue tray gives you a decorative alternative.
White candle shapes with little gold-colored flames run between the black handles.
You could display it on a sideboard or lay it along an empty part of your table. I’d leave the painted center uncovered.
blue and silver candy display
How fun is this candy table? Clear jars show off blue and silver-colored sweets, with a big sparkling turquoise bow on the jar at the front.
The blue candles behind the jars tie the colors together. Try a few different jar heights if you want to recreate the display on your dessert table.
blue goblets and gold edges
There’s so much to love about these place settings, from the blue goblets to the fine gold-colored plate rims. Navy napkins sit beside a centerpiece filled with pinecones and greenery.

The antler-shaped napkin rings make this more of a general winter table. For Hanukkah, you could swap them for plain rings and add small dreidel accents.
little blue votive holders
If you’re looking for a small decorative touch, go with a few blue and silver-colored votive holders like these. I love how each one has a different shape and pattern.
You don’t need a matching set to try this look.
white roses and candlelight
This white-and-green arrangement is gorgeous. The roses and little daisy-shaped flowers sit low around a branching candleholder, with greenery spreading across the bare tabletop.
Borrow the flower colors for your own centerpiece, but leave generous space between foliage and burning candles. The flowers don’t need to sit directly beneath the flames.
blue and silver ornament garland
Love a little sparkle? This ornament garland curves along a pale patterned runner, mixing navy, teal and silver-colored balls in different sizes.
It’s a general holiday decoration rather than a Hanukkah-specific one. You could borrow the color combination for a side table or use a shorter garland beside a bowl of dreidels.
round trays and blue flowers
Last but definitely not least, we have these pretty round tray displays. I love the blue hydrangeas beside the white roses!
Small dreidels sit around the gold-colored candleholders.

Try grouping your flowers and dreidels on a tray for a similar arrangement. Keep the floral cluster safely separated from any lit candles.
