Festive Christmas Porches

When my kids were little, I would pour us all a mug of hot chocolate and we would pile into the car so we could drive around to look at Christmas decorations! There is nothing like looking at beautifully decorated houses to put you in the Christmas spirit. I’m sharing my favorite festive Christmas porches with creative ideas for adding a little extra ho ho ho to your porch. So whether you love natural, vintage, retro or colorful, there is sure to be a porch that inspires.

I always go with fresh greens outdoors and faux inside and these fresh greens make a world of difference on this stunning front porch where simplicity reigns. The yellow lab reminds me of my childhood dog, Rex.

I adore this porch with black lanterns and planters to ground the space and splashes of red and green for a festive touch! She made that adorable red cardinal wreath with candy cane striped ribbon and shares the steps for making one of your own.

I’ve got pew envy ever since I found carpenter bees burrowing in my antique pew! I love the stacks of birch logs under the pew and all the fresh greenery including this huge wreath that she made (don’t miss the how to).

This classic 1800’s stone farmhouse doesn’t need much to dress it up for Christmas. She cut greens from her yard and added burgundy ribbon for a pop of color.

The beautiful arched door is the focal point of this stunning home so all that is called for is a simple garland draped over it.

My friend stopped over the other day and gave me a scolding when she saw my dead mums hanging limply in my urns so I’ll be spending the day freshening up my porch and getting it ready for Santa!

Do you decorate your porch the same way every Christmas or do you like to mix things up?

  1. I love the porch with the big jingle bells and of course the vintage Santas! I have a small side area I decorate very simply. One strand of lights and greenery and we are good. Simple is ok in my book. I work with what I have. This post was full of great ideas though! Thank you!

  2. Kelly I am loving all of this gorgeous porch inspiration! Thank you so much for including my pew…I am so grateful! You are welcome to pop on over anytime and sit and share some coffee or cocoa with me! Merry Christmas!

  3. Thanks that was fun and that dog looking out the door and the elf standing at the door were extra, i’m sure. I like to change my porch up a little don’t like same old thing ! I just read your other post, sorry been busy but really enjoyed all the color.

  4. I havent even started my porch. I do have a wreath and maybe a few pots of slowly drooping mums. It’s terrible. But I havent had much company to worry about. However my 3 year old said mommy this is getting messy out here. Maybe next year I’ll really deck out porch this year I’m just making it through.
