When Christmas day arrives, there's no denying that dinner is the main event, but I spend just as much time thinking about breakfast. And after a recent video from Joanna Gaines, I've been inspired to create the ultimate Christmas morning tablescape – with a cozy, rustic twist, of course.

In a post shared by Magnolia Table, I caught a glimpse of Joanna's Christmas table decor ideas in the form of a charming breakfast setup. Magnolia's holiday treats were the star of the show, laid out carefully on heirloom floral plates, while hot cocoa was served in petite bow mugs, and a cedar mix garland provided the finishing touch. Perhaps it's down to my recent obsession with Little Women-inspired table decor, but I can't wait to recreate Joanna's festive breakfast table.

With all the excitement that Christmas day brings, breakfast offers a rare moment of pause – which is why I'm determined to channel Joanna's warm and nostalgic style. From Magnolia's subtly festive tableware to Joanna's simple greenery centerpiece, this tablescape puts a relaxed and welcoming spin on classic holiday decor, and I know it will set the tone for a magical celebration.

While I love the blend of plaid linens and floral dinnerware, I'm just as tempted by Magnolia's deep red embroidered scallop-edge napkins, fern green plates, and antique white eyelet tablecloth. Joanna has long since mastered the art of styling traditional colors on any holiday table, and she's my ultimate source of inspiration – whether I'm hosting a morning gathering or a lavish Christmas dinner.

Below, you can shop for everything you need to recreate Joanna's breakfast table setup, from centerpiece accessories to drinkware and plates. I'll be starting with the petite bow mugs and antique gold flatware to really tap into Joanna's Little Women-inspired Christmas table ideas.
