When it’s time to decorate for Christmas, you can’t forget about the front yard. Sure, sure, you can put up some lights around your house and maybe even hang a wreath on your front door, but to really take things up a notch, some Christmas yard art is the way to go. The good thing with yard art is that there are plenty of themes and types of decorations, so it’s easy to match your personal style. Whether you want to channel your inner Griswold or you prefer a more minimalist approach, there are plenty of ways to deck your yard with Christmas yard art to ensure your home is the most talked about spot on the block (in a good way).
From ornaments that hang in trees to beautiful nativity sets, an inflatable Santa Claus to lighted reindeer, there are so many ways to incorporate Christmas decor into your yard. Similar to the way you decorate the interior of your home, it’s a good idea to choose a couple of different style items that have a cohesive theme (i.e. snowmen) or one type of decor that has multiple different subjects (i.e. lights or inflatables). Either way, keep it festive and fun and so that it’s something that you love coming home to!
Read on for our list of the best Christmas yard art, listed in no particular order.
1. Teak Isle Christmas Joy Nativity Yard Sign
Teak Isle
Joy from giving to others. Joy on your loved one’s face when they open the perfect present. Joy when you think about the true reason from the season. Joy is all around during the Christmas season, so why not celebrate it with a large “Joy” yard sign. Each of the white letters is attached to a stake that can be hit into the ground, and the “O” has a nativity scene on the inside, and a star on top. The letters are 23.5 inches wide and 35.5 inches tall (43.5 inches to the top of the star), so it’s easy to see the sign from the street. This yard art is something that you can definitely use year over year, as it’s made of marine grade plastic that is really durable. And if your yard isn’t already well lit, you may want to add a solar spotlight to be sure you can see the sign at night as well.
