You've taken down your fall door decorations and packed up the autumn porch décor, so it's officially time to turn your eye toward Christmas decorating (cue the gleeful squeal). For Ree Drummond, there are a few classic holiday pieces that must make an appearence each year: "We always have the kids' stockings, a few nutcrackers, some form of Christmas greenery, strings of fairy lights, and candles!" But before guests get a peek at your Christmas mantel, give them a proper holiday welcome with the cutest Christmas porch decorations.

These ideas will transform your house into a festive winter wonderland during those chilly months. Who wouldn't be excited to come home to a cozy porch or patio lined with twinkling outdoor lights and colorful greenery? We've found easy DIY ideas for modern, classic, or gingerbread house-themed Christmas doorways. Plus, there are individual crafts that you can mix and match, from a DIY wreath that will survive the elements to personalized Christmas terrariums.
