Outdoor Decorating Ideas For Christmas 2019
Christmas decorating is our favorite part of the holiday, if we're being perfectly honest. Although you don't have to go all out, there's just something magical about a house that is adorned with decorations and lights. Think about it: You spend all year working on your lawn, keeping your house in shape, all that time spent shoveling or blowing snow, and then for a few magical weeks a year, it gets to be a winter wonderland instead of a list of outdoor chores. So we say decorate everything, go all out, use every idea you like, and check out our favorite Christmas decorating ideas for your yard, porch, doors and roof!
Outdoor Christmas Decoration Ideas
Hanging Santa
Get It Here
Hold on, there, Santa! He's accidentally slipped off the roof, but he'll be ok. It is Santa, after all. This would make a cute element to a fun outdoor Christmas scene complete with tiny reindeer on the roof or fun lit-up elements such as elves and polar bears. This would be an especially fun idea for a house that has kids or a neighborhood.
Nutcrackers
Get It Here
These nutcrackers are standing tall and proud outside your house ready to welcome guests inside your home for some holiday cheer! The colors on these statues are so vibrant, they almost look real! Visions of sugar plums will most certainly be dancing through your head as you settle in for a long winter's nap with these two guarding the premises.
Vivid Christmas Lights
These brilliantly vivid Christmas lights are sure to brighten up the night! Whether it's luminescent reindeer, a colorful snowman or a combination of all kinds of holiday elements, these LED lights are the perfect thing to keep your house inviting even in the dead of winter. The more lights, the better and you really can never have too many sparkling lights around the house! You just want to make sure Santa can find his way in the dark, after all.
Sparkling Exotic Birds
Having interesting light-up creatures around or outside the house is our favorite trend this year! Birds of all kinds are big right now, but we're really loving this peacock. Or if you like a more common bird, there are also ducks and even chickens!
Snowy Landscape
This snowy landscape is absolutely perfect for these wooden cut outs. Whether you have a large are to fill, or a smaller front area, utilizing wooden cut outs is a great way to fill the space with virtually anything you'd like to decorate with. You could even paint your own wooden cut outs in order to bring some life and color into the scene.
Outdoor Ornaments
This is such a cute idea and it looks really great! Use oversized Christmas ornaments and hang them from trees for a whimsical, colorful look that will have people virtually stopping in your street just to look at them. Pair these magical baubles with some pretty great Christmas lights, and you've got a Christmas scene straight out of the storybooks!
Wooden Decor
Using outdoor wooden décor is not only a rustic, fun look for the home, but it's also incredibly easy to pull off. Whether you have some old plywood laying around or even some thin branches discarded from trees, you can easily piece together interesting focal pieces for your yard that will save you a ton of money and look pretty great overall. You can get as creative as you like with this nifty idea!
Lined Houses

Dripping with Lights
This cozy backyard scene features plenty of great lighting! The tree in the photo practically looks like it's dripping with illume scent lights shining down on that cozy sitting area below. Lights naturally make everything look elegant, no matter what the holiday is, but around Christmas time, lighting in an outdoor setting helps make the scene look extra magical. It's an interesting way to pull off outdoor lighting.
Character Inflatables
Lighted inflatables are a great idea for a home that has kids, or even a neighborhood that has a lot of kids in the area. They're cute, make a big show, and are super simple to set up. These decorations are a cinch—just plug them in and they do all the work for you!

Greenery and Lights

Traditional Mailbox
This mailbox is all ready for the holiday season with all that greenery and bright berries. Even the mailman will think he's stumbled upon a holiday gift delivering mail to your house! Decorating the mailbox is simple yet elegant way to add some color outside your house without overdoing it.

Even the plants can get festive! This holiday planter features plants that are perfect for the holiday season. Anything frosty colored like pale green or blue will naturally look magical in a wintery scene. Adding holly, garland or lights into holiday planters will not only help make the plants look magical, but will add interesting elements into your yard or front porch area.
Winter Arrangement
Add a winter plant arrangement outside your house that incorporates all the best elements of Christmas. Deep greens of ferns and spruce, the magnificent red of holly berries or poinsettias, and adding some colorful baubles is always a good idea to help create a gorgeous planter just in time for the holidays. You can add so many other decorative aspects to these ideas and you can change them up for any kind of color scheme you're using.
