Wow friends, can you believe Christmas is only five days away? I’ve been busy organizing, planning, and decorating in anticipation of its arrival! I’m thrilled because all of my boys, my Dad, and my brother are here for the week! The fun will continue as we host a house full of friends over New Years’ weekend. Want to see how we welcome our holiday guests with a festive front porch?
Oh good!

Come on over!
The inspiration for my festive front porch
Meet my porch decor inspiration…
a Merry Christmas doormat in red, white, and black! I think candy canes just scream Christmas!
Add a Wreath to welcome holiday guests
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a pretty wreath hanging on the front door!
This is such a beautiful wreath and every year, I change it up a bit! This is the first time I’ve put the “Santa stop here” sign on it! I’m loving how it turned out!
Decorate around your door
I usually use these two adorable little trees inside the house, but this year I decided to shake things up a bit and bring them outside!
I added white lights and a candy cane striped bow to the top, that’s all they needed!
Next to the trees, I added these cute candy topiaries surrounded by greenery, red & white orbs, pinecones, and berries!
Incorporate plants
If you live in a warm climate you can incorporate real plants into your porch decor. If not, faux plants can look just as beautiful!
It’s still hard for me to wrap my brain around the idea that we can have poinsettias outside during winter!!
Accessorize Furniture
Going minimal this season by putting this cute metal tree on the table!
A cute pillow adds a festive flair to this chair!
Did you notice the beautiful snowflakes hanging above the porch? They are a new addition to our outdoor lighting this year! I’ll be sharing our twinkling Christmas lights at night, both indoors and out, with you on Christmas Eve!
We are so happy to have my immediate family here and are looking forward to seeing friends soon! Let the celebrations begin!! Do you like to welcome your holiday guests with a festive front porch? Let me know in the comments below!
Blessings, Donna and Rich
