This piece was created in partnership with Lowe's, your go-to home improvement store for appliances, gardening supplies, tools and hardware.
Decorating your front yard the holidays is a great way to signal your festive spirit and celebrate the season. Go full-on Christmas with woodland animals or keep it simpler with permanent house lights you can customize year-round.
A wreath on the door and other chic outdoor Christmas decorations can give your home a distinctly December look, while more seasonal decor like autumn pumpkins can stay outside for months, spanning multiple holidays.
Lowe’s is one of our favorite retailers for holiday decor because of its wide range of offerings. Finding quality festive decor items from the beloved department store is easy, no matter what’s in your wallet. Here are our top picks for the best holiday decor from Lowe’s to create your family’s core wintertime memories for years to come.
What’s a picture-perfect autumn porch without a pumpkin, of course? With a 13.5-inch diameter, the Holiday Living Harvest Pumpkin is the size of a standard pumpkin and looks lifelike to boot. From Halloween to Thanksgiving, this orange gourd will look perfect on its own or with a cluster of other pumpkins on your porch. This paramount piece of Lowe’s home decor is made from durable foam and is best for use in covered outdoor areas.
A lush wreath on the front door can instantly make your home more inviting. This autumnal wreath is 22 inches across and inspired by fall foliage. It has a grapevine base with a mix of leaves, pumpkins, flowers and berries. Style this as a standalone piece on your door for low-effort, low-maintenance festivity, or pair it with other porch decor. This one also looks great indoors above a fireplace!
Speaking of mixing and matching fall decor, this wooden lantern adds height and light to your porch pumpkin patch. With a mix of autumn leaves, mini pumpkins and an LED candle, this harvest lantern is an effortless way to create a warm, cozy front door scene. It stands 18 inches tall, and the light runs on three triple-A batteries.
Looking ahead to wintertime, this faux-pine garland is perfect for wrapping around your porch railing or mantel—you decide! It’s nine feet long and pre-lit with clear incandescent lights that plug in for a quick and convenient sparkle. It’s finished with tiny pinecones and comes at an affordable $20, so you can snag one for inside and out.
This giant light-up ornament is the perfect way to greet guests this holiday season. It’s 30 inches tall and 24 inches wide and has a metal base that allows you to put it anywhere in the yard. Its cool white LED lights plug in, and the yard art even comes with replacement bulbs and fuses for long-term use. Lastly, the pop-up design makes it easy to install and store away, especially if you’re already running out of places to store holiday decorations.
This flocked, pre-lit Christmas wreath is a classic winter wreath option from Lowe’s-exclusive brand Holiday Living. Its frosted tips shimmer and sparkle, while its white and multicolored LED lights have nine different functions, from steady, warm white to flashing multicolor and everything in between. Iced berries and pinecones add even more depth and dimension to the wreath. It’s battery-operated and runs on three double-As.
Needless to say, I am in love with this gold deer from Lowe’s holiday decor selection. It sits 26 inches tall and nearly 22 inches long. Pair one (or two!) with elegant white lights, a wreath and a garland and you’ve got a beautiful outdoor holiday scene that’s not overdone. A green wreath with berries and pinecones sits around the deer’s neck, and its removable antlers make storage easy. The golden fawn works indoors and outdoors and also looks great in an entryway.
Sometimes, bigger really is better. This 6-foot golden nutcracker brings an iconic Christmas symbol to life with a pop-up design. It has an easy-to-assemble metal frame and weather-resistant fabric for outdoor use, and it’s fully lit with warm LED lights. The five-foot cord plugs into any standard outlet, and the included yard stakes mean you can put this guy out in the yard knowing he’ll stay in place.
Another impressive six-footer is this nostalgic lamp post, which recalls Christmases past. It’s finished with pre-lit greenery and features a flame-tip bulb made to look like real fire. Reviewers really like the overall look of the lamp post but warn that it is lightweight and will likely need to be anchored for outdoor use. Additionally, the manufacturer recommends plugging it directly into an outlet and not using an extension cord. The whole thing has knock-down construction for easy assembly and storage.
We saved the biggest (and perhaps best) for last. Introducing the Holiday Living 7-Foot Snowman. It’s huge, lighted and easy to install—what more could you ask for? At 54 inches wide and 84 inches tall, this massive snowman plugs in to light up with warm white light. You’ll also get attachable multicolored string lights that the snowman can hold for a truly magical holiday touch. When the snow has cleared, the ‘man folds down as if melting away for easy breezy storage until next year.
