Simply hanging a Christmas wreath on the front door and adorning the house with lights is a fine way to celebrate Christmas. But if you really want to stand out this year, you need something extra ordinary. Here are some out-of-the-box ways to decorate your yard for Christmas!

Instead of lanterns or paper luminaries, stand out with wine bottle candelabras. They’re beautiful adorning the stairs to this front door. They’d also look amazing lining the walk to your front door.

This yard is broken up into zones. On the left we have a rustic Christmas tree made from reclaimed barn wood, and over the path to the door we have a clever arbor built with old ladders and adorned with greenery and lights. It’s so welcoming!

Deck the mailbox too, and you’re sure to stand out from the crowd. These giant lollipops are made from PVC pipe, rubber balls, red burlap, and twine.

Use net lighting in varied colors to really set off the structure of your landscape. So beautiful!

Lighted spheres are available in quite a few shaped and circular looks, but whichever shapes you choose they really add some razzle dazzle to your yard.

These cranberry luminaries are definitely a step above plain ones! Layer fake snow, real or faux cranberries and a votive candle in a short, stocky vase. Find a vase like this at Michaels.

If you’ve already got window or porch railing boxes, don’t put them away for the season. Instead, load them up with winter greenery, oranges, pinecones and berries for a definite out-of-the-box Christmas decoration.
