Many Christmas lovers place an emphasis on picking the right Christmas tree theme (including a creative topper), arranging the perfect holiday playlist and preparing tasty dishes to celebrate with family and friends. They might even spend time finding fun games to bond with loved ones on Christmas Day. While all of these activities can contribute to a standout holiday celebration, there's one area that shouldn't be overlooked—your front door.

Since every guest appreciates a warm and unforgettable welcome, especially during the holiday season, it's worth getting creative with your Christmas door decorations this year. Your very first thought might be to rely on the same outdoor lights you used last year (who doesn't love classic string lights?). However, taking things up a notch with the addition of a striking DIY wreath, garland arrangement or festive sign is another great way to bring on the holiday cheer.

There are so many fun and original ideas to choose from, whether you like to keep it traditional with a simple wreath topped with a festive bow or prefer an over-the-top decor arrangement with balloons, pom-poms or even disco balls. What's more, you can easily settle on upgrading a store-bought Christmas door design or start from scratch if you're really up for tackling a DIY project.

Here, we've rounded up a wide range of statement Christmas wreaths, picture-worthy garland ideas and much more to help you create a Christmas door with a big statement this holiday.

For the second layer, cut the remaining straws in half and glue them on top of the first layer.
