27 Christmas Door Decorating Contest Ideas
Christmas is coming! We all are preparing for the biggest holiday of the year. It is time to start preparing for Christmas.
This is the time of the year when no one stays back at home, and everyone is out there to celebrate the festival.
So, what are you doing this year to make your Christmas more special? If you are planning to celebrate Christmas at home, then you need to prepare for it.
You need to decorate your home in the best possible way to welcome the festival.
Christmas decoration is not an easy task.
You need to be a little creative and need to give your full effort to make your home look beautiful.
You need to decorate your home from the inside as well as from the outside.
1. Gingerbread House Door
Gingerbread houses are a staple of the holiday season, so why not turn your door into one? You can use cardboard, paper, or felt to create the candy details, and you can even add a gingerbread man or two.
If you’re feeling extra creative, you can even add a door frame to your “gingerbread house” and hang a cute sign with your family’s name.
2. Christmas Tree Door
If you have a green door, then you’re already halfway to having a Christmas tree door. But if you don’t, you can still make it happen. This door uses a green tablecloth to cover the door and then adds a brown tablecloth for the trunk.
Then the door is decorated with ornaments, ribbon, and a star on top. You could add lights to the tree if you wanted to, as well.
3. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas
You could have a lot of fun with this theme. You could turn your door into a scene from the movie, or you could just create a door to look like the Grinch himself.
You can buy a Grinch door cover, or you could create your own. If you want to create your own, just paint a piece of cardboard to look like the Grinch’s face, then cut out a hole for the door handle. Easy!
4. Santa Claus Christmas Door
This Santa Claus door is so fun and festive! We love the bright red color and how the snowflakes pop against the Santa Claus red. You can find a similar Santa Claus hat at your local craft store or make your own. Add some fun ornaments and a wreath to complete the look.
5. Santa’s Reindeer Christmas Door
Santa’s reindeer are a popular Christmas door theme. This door decoration features a reindeer with a red nose and a red bow in front of a snowy background.
The snow is made of white tinsel and the trees are made of green tinsel. There are also a few presents in this scene.
6. Elf Christmas Door
This is a fun and simple way to turn your door into a Christmas elf. You can use a black marker to draw the elf’s face on a piece of white card stock paper and then cut it out. Next, you can use a red piece of paper to create the elf’s hat and a green piece of paper to create the ears.
Once you have all of the pieces, you can glue them together and then glue them to the door. You can use red and white striped wrapping paper to create the elf’s shirt and then add a belt with a gold ribbon.
7. Snowman Christmas Door
This snowman door is a classic Christmas look that would be perfect for a holiday door decorating contest.
To make this snowman door, you’ll need three white wreaths in three different sizes.
You can attach the wreaths to your door with a wreath hanger or with a command hook.
After the wreaths are in place, you’ll need to add a snowman face. You can find snowman face decals to stick on your wreaths, or you can make your own out of felt or construction paper.
8. Penguin Christmas Door
This penguin door from Jennifer Priest is so adorable! This door is a great example of how you can use your door’s shape to your advantage.
The door shape looks like the body of a penguin and the rest of the penguin is made out of paper and foam. I love how the bow tie is made out of a simple piece of paper.
9. Charlie Brown Christmas Door
Charlie Brown and his gang are a beloved part of many people’s Christmas traditions. If you love the Charlie Brown Christmas special, you’ll adore this door.
The best part is that you don’t have to be an artist to create this cartoon masterpiece. Even if you can’t draw, you can make the characters by cutting them out of colored paper.
10. Christmas Carolers Door
Whether you’re in a neighborhood with a lot of kids or a retirement community, everyone loves a good Christmas carol. This door decor idea is a great way to spread Christmas cheer in your community.
You can add as many carolers as you like, and you can even make them look like your family or friends for a personal touch.
11. Christmas Present Door
This Christmas present door is so simple, yet so cute! You can make your own with just a few supplies.
Use craft paper to turn your door into a giant present. Then, use a Christmas ribbon to make the bow and string. If you’re feeling extra crafty, you can make a 3D bow out of paper.
12. Christmas Ornaments Door
This door design is so simple, but it looks so good! The giant Christmas ornaments are the star of the show, and I love the way they pop against the white door.
This is a great idea if you’re looking for a simple way to decorate your door for Christmas. You can find giant Christmas ornaments like these at craft stores or you can make your own.
13. Christmas Lights Door
You can never go wrong with Christmas lights. They can transform any door into a winter wonderland.
This door features neatly wrapped lights, but you could also choose to drape them across the top of the door or even around the door frame.
14. Snow Globe Door
This door is a snow globe! It’s so pretty and festive with the snow-covered trees, snowflakes, and a big white bow on top.
Add some fake snow to the ground and you have a winter wonderland.
15. Santa’s Suit Door
This door has the same whimsy as the elf door, but it’s a little more sophisticated. We love the way the red and white candy cane stripes pop against the black background.
The Santa hat on the top of the door is a nice touch, but the real star of the show is the Santa belt. This is a great way to cover the top of the door if you don’t have a window.
16. Santa’s Workshop Door
If you’re a teacher, you know that a lot of work goes into the holiday season. You not only have to get your own family ready for the holidays, but you also have to prepare for the excitement of your students, too.
This Christmas door decoration idea is the perfect way to show off the hard work you put into making the season special for your students. After all, it’s no easy feat to make sure every child in your classroom feels loved and special during the holidays.
This door is decorated to look like Santa’s workshop. I love the elf, the sleigh, and the presents. The best part is that the kids’ names are on the presents, which is a sweet touch.
17. Winter Wonderland Door
This winter wonderland door is so festive, and it’s perfect for the door decorating contest.
The snowman, the snowflakes, and the white and blue colors make this door a winter wonderland.
18. Christmas Vacation Door
If you’re a fan of the movie Christmas Vacation, then this door is for you. The wreath and garland are made with the iconic plaid fabric from the movie and adorned with a red bow and faux snow.
The door features a large, black and white plaid bow with a red bow on top. The sign is a nod to the movie, and the snowman is a perfect addition to the theme.
19. Christmas Story Door
This Christmas Story door is a great example of how to add a fun and festive scene to your door.
The best part about this door is the creative use of the window to add the leg lamp.
20. Nightmare Before Christmas Door
This door is a little bit Christmas and a little bit Halloween. The white Christmas lights are a traditional touch, but the black and white color scheme and the Jack Skellington wreath are anything but.
This is a great idea if you’re a Halloween lover but you want to get in on the Christmas decorating action, too.
21. Whoville Christmas Door
This Whoville Christmas door from The Keeper of the Cheerios is another example of a Grinch-inspired door. This one is a little more over-the-top than the last one with a Grinch cutout, too.
The homemade Christmas tree is made with pool noodles and a tree topper. The door is decorated with red and white garland and a giant Grinch cutout. Don’t forget the “Merry Grinchmas” sign!
22. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Door
This Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer door decor is so cute and simple! You can get a red nose, antlers, and eyes at any store, and then use those to decorate your door.
You can even use some red wrapping paper to make the nose and then tape it to the door. This is a great idea if you want to keep it simple but still want to decorate.
23. The Nutcracker Door
If you’re feeling crafty, you can DIY this nutcracker door decoration with a wooden cutout and a few other supplies. Add a garland, a nutcracker, and some wrapped presents to finish the look.
Pro tip: Use a clear command hook to hang the nutcracker and a command strip to hang the garland.
24. Frosty the Snowman Door
This snowman door is so cute and fun! We love how they used the whole door and space around it to create a whole scene. This would be a great idea to use if you have double doors. You could even add another snowman to the other door!
The snowman is made out of white paper plates, and the hat is made out of construction paper. You could also use a real hat or a scarf if you have one. The snowflakes are made out of paper and hung with fishing line to look like they are floating. This is such a fun and whimsical idea!
