I'll never turn down an opportunity to host a holiday party, but even the simplest gatherings can feel like a serious undertaking. Between menu planning and Christmas table decor ideas, it's easy to overlook the moment when I finally display all my carefully-prepared dishes and festive drinks – meaning the gorgeous tablescape that I plucked from my mood board ends up looking a little cramped. This year, however, I'm saying goodbye to cluttered Christmas tables thanks to a porcelain 3-tiered serving set I found at Walmart.
Featuring an elegant metal stand and sleek stoneware platters, this set is the key to creating space and height on your holiday table – whether you're serving buffet-style or squeezing trays of appetizers onto your dining table. And it doesn't just save space on your table: the stand breaks down into five slim pieces, so you can simply slot it into a closet for convenient storage.
Simple but elegant, this set will work hard on your table. The platters can be stacked up or used separately, and they're even microwave- and oven-safe (up to 450°F). I love that they can go in the dishwasher, too, so you don't need to dread the cleanup once your dinner party comes to a close.
Sturdy, sleek and versatile, I can't believe I haven't purchased a set like this before. My cozy apartment isn't exactly suited to hosting huge dinner parties, and even after I managed to add a dining table to my small kitchen, I'm keen to find ways to avoid cluttering it up.
Of course, my lack of space doesn't stop me from decking out my modest dining table with all my best dinnerware – and hosting a wonderful gathering, so a space-saving platter like Walmart's porcelain 3-tiered serving stand will be crucial.

Space-saving tableware that doubles as Christmas table decor can be difficult to find, but you just need to know where to look – and since moving into my own small apartment, I've started to make a list. My favorite trick right now is TikTok's over-the-table decorating hack: it's another brilliant way of maximizing table space while still creating a show-stopping setup.
Plus, now that I've realized just how useful tiered serving platters can be, I'm keen to stock my hosting closet with a few more options. Joanna Gaines' brass tiered snack serving bowls are a stunning option from Hearth & Hand with Magnolia at Target, while Crate & Barrel's wicker tiered Christmas tree server will bring functionality and festive style to my table.
Above all, Walmart's porcelain 3-tiered serving stand is proof that space-saving table decor can be more stylish than you might expect – and it'll always come in handy when you're hosting a crowd.
