Some people wait until December to put up their Christmas decorations, and others love the winter holiday so much that they begin decorating the halls and adorning the outdoors for Christmas right after Halloween. Then some lazybones leave everything to the last minute.

Most people think you need to spend a lot on holiday decorations, which is untrue. You can go for exuberant touches or sophisticated subtlety while at it, and all of this can be done with many indoor items or decorations from last year and evergreen boughs.

The house’s exterior can use a little love with a bit of greenery to spruce up the frigid landscape, a few lights to illuminate the shorter days, and a handful of festive bows and ribbons for a pop of color. If you still haven’t decorated the outside of your house for Christmas, here are a few quick-to-pull-out Christmas outdoor decoration ideas at the last minute. 

Wrap the fence and entrance of the house with evergreen garlands and traditional Christmas light bulbs.

You can choose the minimalistic décor with a miniature Christmas house, a potted plant, and a lantern.

For a picture-perfect Hallmark movie-style curb appeal, go big on evergreens and add giant festive bows to enhance the décor.

Use a garland to frame the entrance of the house in a festive spirit. You can also use potted plants such as holly or cypress to flank the door and add a sprinkle of Christmas magic.

Pair rustic lanterns with festive bows and greenery to decorate the staircase in front of the house. It is one of the easiest outdoor Christmas decoration ideas to pull off.

Pick a color palette and adorn your outdoors with it for the festive season. Make attractive bunches of evergreens and berries to be placed in pots. You can add lights if you want.

If you do not like the extravagance of the festivities, you can go monochrome. Pick a color and just decorate the outdoors with it.

Don’t sleep out on the adorable Christmas gnomes when decorating the outside of the house. You can make the beard and hair with evergreens to keep the theme right on the gnome.

Do not forget the railings. Add a holiday sprinkle to these bland architectural features with big garlands and color-contrast bows.

Vibrant hues like fuchsia, teal, purple, pink, orange, and light blue can lend the outdoors a festive air. Apart from greenery, you can throw in some wrapped gift packages and oversized lanterns filled with colorful ornaments for a delightful burst of Christmas cheer.

DIY these giant silver bells using your garden pots for a minimalistic look. Layer them with ornaments and red ribbon, and hang the bells on your porch to welcome the holiday spirit.

Don’t leave out the window boxes and fill them up with old school, giant ornaments and some artificial green foliage. Layer them together in the window box and add a fun pop of color to your curb appeal.

Why not dress up your mailbox for the occasion? You can add pinecones, green foliage, and burlap ribbon for greenery and a natural look.
