Entertaining This Holiday Season? Here’s How to Create a Welcoming Hom

The holidays are officially here, and with them comes the excitement of parties and gatherings with friends and family. Whether you’re preparing your home for an intimate dinner party, planning a large-scale cookie swap, or gearing up to welcome overnight guests, creating a warm, inviting space is key. Holiday entertaining can feel overwhelming, but with a little preparation (and some help from Levoit), you can make your home guest-ready with ease.

From tackling pre-event cleaning to managing lingering kitchen smells and ensuring your guests are comfortable, here’s how to prepare your home for cozy gatherings this holiday season.

Cleaning the House

Holiday prep often starts with cleaning, but that doesn’t mean it has to be an all-day affair. Whether you’re clearing out clutter or tackling pesky messes, having a plan makes everything easier.

Start by focusing on high-traffic areas like the living room, kitchen, and guest bathroom. For quick clean-ups, especially when you’re pressed for time, the Levoit LVAC-200 Cordless Vacuum is a game-changer. Its cordless design means you can zip through rooms without worrying about outlets, and its lightweight build makes it easy to handle—even when cleaning staircases or under furniture.

Practical Cleaning Tips:

Tidy in Stages: Instead of attempting to clean everything at once, divide your home into sections and tackle one at a time. Even better, make it a family activity and assign each person a room.

Start with a Surface Level Clean, Then Go Deeper: Start by returning stray items to their designated places to create a clean, clutter-free surface. Once the basics are handled, you can decide if you have time for more detailed cleaning tasks like dusting baseboards, wiping down windows, and vacuuming.

Focus on Floors First: Use the LVAC-200 Cordless Vacuum to clean up crumbs, pet hair, and tracked-in holiday debris from floors and carpets. Its slim design also makes it ideal for quick touch-ups around baseboards.

Declutter for Instant Impact: Place stray items in baskets or storage bins to keep surfaces clear and create an organized feel when in a rush.

These small but impactful steps will make your home feel refreshed and ready for guests without exhausting your energy before the fun begins.

Getting Rid of Cooking Smells

There’s nothing like the smell of holiday meals in progress—roasted meats, savory side dishes, and sweet desserts can fill the air with festive aromas. But as wonderful as these scents are, there’s also the inevitable burnt crumbs and splashes of sauce—smells that can quickly turn an aromatic feast into something sour.

To keep your home smelling fresh and balanced, the Levoit Vital 200S Smart Air Purifier is an excellent accessory. Its advanced filtration system works to clear the air of heavy cooking odors, ensuring that each holiday aroma can shine without clashing with others.

Tips for Managing Kitchen and Household Odors:

Vent While You Cook: Open a window or use your range hood to let strong cooking odors escape.

Simmer Seasonal Scents: After dinner, boil water with cinnamon sticks, orange peels, and cloves to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Let the Vital 200S Do the Work: Place the air purifier in your kitchen or dining area to filter out lingering smells from roasting, baking, and frying. It refreshes the air quickly, leaving your space feeling fresh and clean.

Clean Up as You Go: Wipe down surfaces, rinse cookware, and take out the trash promptly to prevent odors from lingering.

With these simple tips and the help of the Vital 200S, your home will stay fresh and welcoming for guests, no matter how many holiday meals you whip up.

Keeping the House Comfortable and Cozy

Cold winter air outside often translates to dry, uncomfortable air inside. That’s where small details—like adjusting the humidity level—can make a big difference in how comfortable your home feels for guests. Even more, for guests traveling from different climates, maintaining a comfortable indoor environment can make all the difference in how at-home they feel.

The Levoit Superior 6000S Smart Evaporative Humidifier is a thoughtful addition to your holiday hosting. With its ability to cover up to 3,000 ft² areas, this humidifier helps create an environment that feels cozy and welcoming, whether you’re entertaining in the living room or hosting overnight guests.

Tips for Enhancing Comfort During the Holidays:

Maintain Ideal Humidity Levels: The Superior 6000S ensures the air isn’t too dry, which can make rooms feel more inviting and help reduce static.

Add Cozy Touches: Keep extra blankets available for those who get chilly and plush pillows to make lounging areas more inviting. Remember, every guest’s temperature runs differently, so providing options to maintain comfort is vital.

Provide Winter Essentials: Place lotion and lip balm in guest bathrooms to combat dry skin and keep everyone comfortable in colder weather.

Offer Refreshments: Set up a station with water, tea, and coffee so guests can easily help themselves and stay hydrated.

Control Comfort Remotely: Use the Superior 6000S’s smart features to monitor and adjust humidity levels, ensuring the air feels just right throughout your home.

By combining thoughtful details with practical solutions, you’ll create a space where guests can relax, feel cared for, and fully enjoy the warmth and comfort of your home throughout the holiday season.

Entertaining for the holidays doesn’t have to be stressful. With a little preparation and the right tools, you can focus on creating lasting memories instead of worrying about the details.
