If you’re going to invest real money in a life size nativity set, you want something you can feel secure is going to last for years, and such is the case with this Teak Isle nativity scene. Made with marine grade plastic this set is seriously durable and weather resistant, and we’re particularly fond of the finely printed details that make the characters more lifelike than many.
The printing is done with exterior sign grade paint that is guaranteed to stand up to harsh winter weather. The facial details on Joseph, Mary, and particularly baby Jesus are extra special, while the manger looks like it’s actually built from wood poles with a thatched roof. At the top of the manger is the bright shining star of Bethlehem.
This set stands 50 inches all, so while it’s slightly smaller than today’s life size, it’s large enough to make a big impression.

The Front Yard Originals outdoor nativity set is more finely detailed than some others with a dimensional design and super simple setup. Made of durable PVC, this set features a manger that stands six feet tall, and is highlighted by the star of Bethlehem on top. Beneath, Joseph stands praying while Mary kneels in prayer around the Christ child. We like that in this interpretation, the baby Jesus has a halo.
To add to the dimensional effect there are two lambs that can be placed to your liking around this set. It slides together in minutes and requires no tools to assemble or take down. That’s always a bonus.

If you’re shopping on a budget, but you’re set on getting a nativity scene for your front yard this year, this inflatable life size nativity set is one of the more affordable we’ve found. It makes a big impression with a small investment, and features Mary, Joseph, and Jesus, as well as a lamb. The standout here is that this set includes the three Wisemen bearing gifts, which many others don’t.
At six feet tall and about 6.5 feet wide, it self-inflates in minutes when plugged in. It also glows at night thanks to the built-in LED lights. It comes with stakes and tethers to keep it grounded and secure.
Similar to the other inflatable on our list, there are subtle differences between the two including where the Wisemen are placed and the shapes of their gifts.
