The season for dinner parties is upon us and just in the (Saint) nick of time, Simon Doonan (who recently gave us a great pumpkin pie recipe) has created a handy video with tips on how to make your holiday dinner party a lot more fabulous–a word he says at least eight times in two minutes.

One second he’s lying down on an empty table and the next I suddenly want to buy Christmas crackers, “fabulous ningle nangles” (definitely a thing) and mini Chandon bottles for “a sense of informality” (Doonan‘s embarked on a collaboration with the champagne company). Watch the adorable video below and check out Chandon’s FB page for more tips.
