Outdoor Christmas Decorations to Make Your Season Merry & Bright
Nov 19th 2024
Among Americans who celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, 43% put up outdoor decorations, according to a 2021 YouGovAmerica holiday season poll. Researchers found that roughly one-quarter of people start their holiday decorating the day after Thanksgiving, although about three in 10 of their neighbors have already finished the job by then.
Begin at the Door
Even if the cold winter winds make you turn tail at the front door, you still can set a few Christmas things at the entrance to welcome guests this holiday season. From subdued and wintry to all-out Christmas-y, you can ease into holiday decorating just by changing your doormat!
While the door’s still open, hang a decorative door wreath or swag. There are so many styles, you’re sure to find something you like.
Pre-decorated Christmas wreaths take the hard work out of decorating and a pre-lit wreath adds an extra warm glow to your entrance.
On the other hand, plain wreaths are super popular with those who prefer the simple elegance of greenery without additional decoration. Additionally, an undecorated artificial wreath with full foliage makes the perfect starting point for a beautiful holiday presentation for people who enjoy adding their own distinctive embellishments.
Let Your Christmas Spirit Fly
Hanging a seasonal house flag is another simple way to share goodwill of the season. Holiday flags are bright and colorful, with so many styles you’re bound to find one that expresses your sentiments.
Plan a Lawn Party
Ready to venture beyond your porch? The front lawn has become a holiday playground for a diversity of Christmas outdoor decorations.
Indulge in a little Christmas whimsy with a winter wonderland of snowmen, polar bears, penguins, reindeer, Santa and other North Pole pals. The fun continues with a range of colorful figures, from dinosaurs to nutcrackers to your favorite licensed characters. For a bit of nostalgia, add large, colorful, bright and durable blow mold Christmas decorations to your outdoor Christmas decor.
For Christmas lawn decorations that are more serene, grace your garden with elegant angels or tranquil deer. Add a single lighted spiral Christmas tree or make a miniature illuminated forest.
Light Up the Night
Don’t forget the lights! For many people, outdoor Christmas decorations just aren’t complete without Christmas lights. Use all white lights, multicolor lights or combine the two.
There are so many outdoor lighting options to explore that the combinations are virtually endless. Expand your outdoor Christmas lights display with icicle lights on the eaves, snowfall lights in tree branches, net lights and trunk lights on trees and shrubs. In addition, bright and flexible rope lights make it easy to accent porch railings, posts, fences and walkways.
