35 Christmas Porch Decorations to Display Your Holiday Spirit for the Neighborhood!
Give your guests a warm welcome for the holidays.
Decorating for Christmas is always a big deal and it seems to get bigger every year. For outdoor decorating, it used to be that you could throw up some lights, hang a wreath on the door and call it good. Now, Christmas porch decorations are so much more elaborate and creative. It does make sense though—the first glimpse that your holiday guests get of your home is, of course, the porch. You want it to be warm and welcoming to set the right tone.
No matter what style of home you have, there are all kinds of ideas for making a porch look inviting and festive for Christmas. You can decorate with miniature Christmas trees, vintage sleds, buffalo checks, glitzy sparkle or a variety of fun signs. Choose traditional Christmas colors or try some pretty shades of pink. Whatever your style, there are plenty of ideas and options to purchase.
Check out these 35 Christmas porch decor ideas that will give you plenty of inspiration for decorating your own porch.
