There’s no place like home for the holidays, especially when your floors can handle the party!
Between hosting family dinners, decorating, and trying to keep your sanity, the holiday season is full of foot traffic, spills, and unexpected messes. That’s why choosing durable flooring for holiday hosting is one of the smartest updates you can make before guests arrive.
Whether you’re prepping your kitchen for cookie-baking chaos or the living room for movie marathons, your flooring needs to handle it all, without losing its charm.
The holidays mean high traffic and even higher expectations. According to a 2024 Mohawk consumer report, 85% of homeowners host at least one major gathering between November and January, and flooring damage (scratches, stains, water spots) is one of the top post-holiday complaints.
Your floor is literally the foundation of your festive season—make sure it’s built to last.
Best for: Busy families who need waterproof, scratch-resistant flooring.
Modern Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring offers realistic wood or stone looks with the resilience to handle anything from muddy boots to red wine spills.
Pro tip: Brands like COREtec and Shaw Floorté offer 100% waterproof options ideal for kitchens and basements.
Best for: Homes that want the hardwood look on a budget.
Today’s laminates are not your grandmother’s floors—they’re AC4 or AC5 rated for heavy residential or commercial use. That means your guests’ high heels and rolling serving carts won’t leave a mark.
Best for: Elegant holiday entertaining with timeless warmth.
Engineered hardwood gives you the authentic look of wood with added stability. It’s ideal for Indiana’s fluctuating winter humidity, resisting warping or cupping.
Bonus: Can be refinished depending on the veneer thickness
Before you break out the mistletoe, make sure your home (and your floors) are ready for the festivities:
