Flowers and plants have long played a special role in holiday festivities and are as personal and individual as the people celebrating. Use color and design to create a celebratory centerpiece, foyer display or other seasonal conversation starter!

Frequent Flowers: Floral wreaths make beautiful centerpieces. Fill the center with a trio of pillar candles, fresh fruit or glistening balls. Find more holiday floral ideas in the Holidays and Occasions section.

It's a Fact: Christmas and Hanukkah are the most popular holidays for sending and receiving flowers.

Did You Know? More than 60 million poinsettias are sold annually. And, poinsettias and amaryllis are now available in cut flower varieties so these holiday favorites can be incorporated into floral arrangements to mark the season.

Tip: If you are attending a holiday gathering, ask your florist to deliver a cheerful arrangement or holiday plant before you arrive. When you show up, you'll be the talk of the evening.
