For
Hanukkah, create a decadent and celebratory look with tons of silver and blue. Since this is a
late lunch, start by dressing the table. A beautiful, silver silk tablecloth is a wonderful foundation to build upon.

Unlike
Passover, it's not traditional to consume kosher beverages on
Hanukkah. If you prefer to serve a kosher drink, stock up on
He'Brew, the well-made Jewish beer.
Other than that, offer guests wine and a signature cocktail.

Follow up a traditional
late lunch menu with an equally classic dessert. Start by filling bowls with gelt, the chocolate candy coins consumed on and around Hanukkah.
Next, invite guests to join you in the kitchen to help finish a batch of sufganiyot.

For
Hanukkah this year, switch things up and
invite friends and family over for a late lunch instead of the expected dinner. It gets dark early, so serve a hearty, traditional meal. Get the party started with slices of a provencal vegetable tart.

I can't believe that
Thanksgiving is already over. Now that the big meal has been eaten, it's time to start planning holiday parties! To kick off our holiday coverage, I am putting together a Hanukkah party.
