1. Go for Pretty Pinecones

For a more rustic feel pinecones are great. — For a truly rustic feel, pinecones are a fantastic choice. I love that they look natural and feel that way too. Keep your pinecones displayed on a table for an organic feel that is decorative and beautiful all at the same time. You can pair your pinecones with different shades of green for the ultimate contrast.

I just love pinecones for decorating when it gets cold. They are so simple to find and incredibly easy to work with, especially since you can paint them!

This opens up so many possibilities for creative DIY decor. You can work them into your wreaths, add them to outdoor Christmas trees, or even just hang a few from your door.

2. Brighten Your Space

You can add a magical feel to your backyard by filling it with white lights. White lights are so great because they illuminate the space and add beauty all at the same time. Or, use Christmas color lights for a festive holiday twist.

Lights! Let’s be honest, Christmas just wouldn’t be the holiday of cheer without them. I recommend adding multiple different lighting fixtures.

Have them hanging from the outside of your home to create a really beautiful light show display. Using multiple different sizes is a fantastic way to get an even better effect that will seriously increase the beauty of your home.

3. Add Christmas Signs

santa signs — Give your guests some direction as to where they can expect to be going with a fun Christmas sign. Christmas signs are just great, especially if you have children. It gives them a little extra sense of joy when they see these signs laid out for them to enjoy.

Christmas signs are just as cute as they sound, and I think they are an excellent way to decorate the outside of your home in that perfect country chic style. You could even choose to DIY the sign!

I love that idea because you can create something much more personal to you and your family. Try placing a few Christmas destination signs and let everyone know exactly where Santa Clause might be visiting next.

4. Make Festive Rocking Chairs

All you need are a few items that just scream holiday season and you are good to go. I love incorporating an accent table to bring the entire decor together. Keep a sign or small trinkets on the accent table to reinforce the holiday cheer.

Rocking chairs on the porch are such an all-time fall favorite, aren’t they? But for Christmas time, you will probably want to upgrade your rocking chairs and give them a festive little twist. This is easily done by painting your chairs white, red, or green. Painting them one of these colors gives the chairs that classic festive feel.

I’d add a cozy throw blanket on the chairs and pair it with outdoor cushions. That will create a super cozy and comfortable effect. You might even want to consider adding an accent table so you have a place to lay down your hot cocoa!

5. Set Up a Hot Cocoa Bar

If you do not want to leave all the items outside to make hot cocoa you can always prepare the hot cocoa — If you do not want to leave all the items outside to make hot cocoa, you can always prepare the hot cocoa and just leave it on display for your guests. This is an excellent way of giving your guests a treat they can remember you by from the moment they step foot in the front of your home.

Hot cocoa is such a staple in the winter and holiday time. Having a hot cocoa bar displayed in your outdoor space is a treat your guests will absolutely not want to miss.

You can display items like Christmas themed cups, marshmallows, sugar, and cocoa powder. Just make sure that all the items you place outside are in an airtight container. This keeps them fresh the entire time.

6. Create a Royal Outdoor Feel

The beauty of having poinsettias is the color that they provide. — The beauty of having poinsettias is the amazing color that they provide. Poinsettias are a bold red color, which makes them so appealing and fun to look at. They are also the Christmas flower, which makes them work great even in very cold weather. Pair it with bold green shades for a holiday feel thats undeniable.

You can create a royal outdoors feel by using bold holiday colors mixed with natural items. The whole idea is to make a holiday statement with plants, especially the poinsettia.

Poinsettias are known as the “Christmas plant,” so having blossomed poinsettias will work beautifully outdoors. You could hang a few of them on the entryway or even have them as a garland on your door.

You can also just have the entire plant displayed on the outside of your home.

7. Display a Sign of Joy

Having a large sign of Joy is simple, rustic, classic, and festive all at once. It is such a simple way of adding holiday cheer to your outdoor space without having to include multiple different items. You can even incorporate the sign into the current decor you already have.

Christmas time is all about joy, so why not display it on your outdoors? You can do this by having a large sign that spells out joy. This could totally be a DIY project for you, or you can just purchase a sign that says JOY and decorate it to your liking.

I love the idea of adding a wreath in the middle for an extra touch of holiday cheer. It’s also an excellent and sneaky way of hanging a wreath that will actually stay in place.

8. Try Simple Winter Décor

Winter decor consists of using greenery mixed in with shades of white and/or blue. The idea is to keep the decor as simple as possible while still providing the feel of the holidays in a minimal manner. Well lit Christmas trees work great because of the bold statement they make.

I think it’s nice to keep things simple sometimes. You can do this by having winter décor that is really soft and simple. Use colors like white, blue, and lots of greenery. Using these colors will give you that winter enchantment you’re looking for.

Just make sure to top off the décor with outdoor lanterns. This provides the cozy winter wonderland vibes you seek, all in a simple and classic manner.

9. Use Mason Jar Lights

You can have them inside of the house, outside, and/or both. Consider having white lights for a brighter visual. Meanwhile, colorful lights will give you that holiday feel you seek.

Mason jars are just so great because of how versatile they are. I mean, you can use them as drinking cups, centerpieces, and even as a holiday decoration for the outside of your home.

Just take a couple of mason jars and fill them up with colorful lights. Then, hang them around the outside of your home. You can choose to cluster them together or have a few of them hanging from different areas of the exterior.

10. Go All-Out for Christmas Joy

Christmas galore is a top favorite for many of us. There is just something beautiful about having a display that offers numerous different colors and gives you all of the Christmas feels. Have mini Christmas trees displayed to combine your outdoor decor with your indoor decor.

Why not go all out for Christmas joy? You can do this by decorating your porch with all the Christmas essentials. Think garland, bright Christmas lights, outdoor lanterns, wreaths with patterns, and let’s not forget a Christmas tree.

I love the idea of adding a chalkboard with a welcoming sign to bring happiness to everyone who passes by your home. The main idea is to bring Christmas joy directly to your porch for everyone to enjoy.

With all the holidays quickly approaching, it is never too early to begin decorating the exterior of your home.
