I was thrilled to hear Chip and Joanna Gaines are returning to television. Joanna’s signature farmhouse style—simple, warm, and natural—feels like home, and I’m excited to see more of her seasonal decorating. Living in Canada, I’ve found authentic farmhouse Christmas decor harder to track down, so I put together a practical list of farmhouse Christmas table decor that can be shipped to Canada. These selections are inspired by Joanna Gaines’ aesthetic and focus on greenery, textures, and practical finishing touches for a cozy farmhouse table.

Joanna often layers fresh or realistic faux greenery throughout her seasonal decor. For a low-maintenance farmhouse Christmas table, lifelike faux branches and garlands are ideal: they look natural without the needles and watering concerns. Consider a mix of cedar or pine branches, and add faux eucalyptus for subtle texture and a modern farmhouse touch.

Joanna’s table centerpieces often combine candles with greenery. A simple and beautiful approach is to place candle holders of varying heights down the table center and weave in cedar or eucalyptus garlands. For farmhouse charm, choose rustic wooden candlesticks, black iron candlesticks, or mixed metal holders. Group them in odd numbers and stagger heights for visual interest.

Linens
Plaid and neutral linens are classic farmhouse choices. Plaid napkins and buffalo plaid add cozy, rustic warmth, while a simple white or natural linen tablecloth provides a clean, timeless backdrop. Layer placemats and a table runner for texture and to frame your centerpiece.

Neutral placemats and a cotton-linen runner work well together—choose textures like woven fibers or subtle stripes to complement woven chargers and wooden elements.

For a relaxed farmhouse Christmas tablescape, layer woven wicker charger plates with simple white dishes. White linen napkins are versatile—fold them in creative ways or secure them with napkin rings to add a touch of sophistication. Joanna has been known to serve on wooden boards for a rustic twist; if that’s too bold, a wooden charger or cutting board accent creates a similar warm effect.

Dinnerware
Simple white dinnerware remains the most flexible choice for farmhouse Christmas tables. A plain white dinner plate looks elegant with layered salad plates in seasonal patterns or a pop of red. Choose durable stoneware or porcelain in simple shapes to keep the focus on texture and greenery.

Place Card Holders and Decor
Small details like rustic place card holders and wooden napkin rings make the table feel curated. Use wood slices, twig place card holders, or simple tags tied with baker’s twine for a handmade farmhouse look. These finishing touches make every seat feel special.

Furniture
Dining chairs and tables with simple, classic lines suit the Joanna Gaines farmhouse look. Dark or black dining chairs add contrast and anchor the space when paired with a white or natural wood table. If you want a quick update, swapping chairs or adding a bench can change the table’s character.

Finishing Touches
Keep a small stash of simple farmhouse supplies on hand: baker’s twine, jute twine, small tags, and natural ornaments can be used to tie napkins, hang place cards, and dress up candles. These inexpensive touches go a long way toward achieving a cohesive farmhouse Christmas table.
