”The Winter 2025 edition of Atlanta Market provides comprehensive programming and events designed to celebrate, network and unwind at AmericasMart Atlanta.

This January, two seminars take buyers through the top 2025 home and tabletop picks. In Setting Your Table for Chic Entertaining, Margot Shaw, editor in chief of Flower Magazine, sits down with Rebecca Gardener of Houses & Parties and Jessica Pearsall of Ivory & Noire in a guide to perfecting a fabulous tabletop on Jan 16, at 1 p.m. in the Building 3 Atrium.

The ( A ) List Brings Curated Style to Atlanta Market
In its third Atlanta Market season, The ( A ) List merges influence with design to showcase the pulse of Market through expert lenses.

This Winter’s Atlanta Market ( A ) List influencers are:

— Lance Devereux: Devereux, affectionately known as "Mr. Christmas," is a holiday decor expert and creative entrepreneur dedicated to transforming spaces into festive havens. With a flair for luxury design and a passion for all things merry, Devereux empowers others through hands-on workshops, masterclasses and his upcoming holiday decor pop-up, Holiday House & Company. Known for his vibrant personality and expert tips, Devereux has become a trusted voice in the holiday decorating world, inspiring creatives to turn their passion into profit while making every season unforgettable.

— Megan Molten: Based in Charleston, Molten is an accomplished interior designer, shop owner and product designer, as well as a proud wife and mother. Before launching her career in design, Megan spent 12 years in healthcare sales. Her journey into interior design began six years ago with designing her first home, sharing her work on social media and taking a leap of faith to start her own business. Molten credits this as the best decision she ever made, as it allowed her to do what she loves every day—bringing a touch of "Lowcountry Luxury" into others’ homes through her design services and carefully curated shop products, a source of true joy for her.

As part of The ( A ) List program, each influencer will have an on-site display showcasing Atlanta Market exhibitor products. Devereux brings Christmas to life in Winter, Wonder, Wow!, and Molten leans into Lowcountry charm in Megan’s Dream Room in a vignette in Building 1, Floor 1, near the Bridge to Building 2.
