33 Christmas Door Decorating Contest Ideas
With the Christmas season upon us, it’s time for businesses to start thinking about their Christmas door decorating contest ideas.
The workplace is a wonderful place to display the spirit of the holiday season.
You can do this through decorations, carols and other fun activities that will help you to share the joy of Christmas with your employees and co-workers.
One of the most popular Christmas door decorating contest ideas is to decorate your door with a Christmas theme.
1. The Best Gift
This is a great example of how to decorate a door if you want to keep things simple.
A couple of rolls of wrapping paper and a big bow are all you need to create a beautiful present.
This would be a great design for a classroom door, too. The big “gift tag” is a great place to write a holiday message or the name of the teacher.
2. Santa’s Sleigh
This door decoration is perfect for a classroom! We love the festive snowflakes and the “Santa’s Workshop” sign.
The best part of this door is the added touch of presents, a toy soldier and Santa’s sleigh.
3. The Grinch
It’s easy to see why the Grinch is such a popular Christmas character!
His mischievous nature and green fur are just a couple of reasons why he’s so fun to watch.
This Christmas door idea brings a little bit of the Grinch to your home, and we love the bright green and red color scheme!
The Grinch is a simple character to create on your front door, and this look is a little more understated than some of the other options.
Start with a bright green door, and add a red and white garland around the top of the door.
You can find a Grinch cutout at your local party store or you can make your own.
Hang the Grinch cutout on the door and add a few presents on the ground to complete the look!
4. Elf on the Shelf
Who doesn’t love the mischievous little Elf on the Shelf? This door decoration is so creative and fun, and it’s perfect for a school setting.
Use the elf as a way to showcase some of the students’ favorite things about Christmas, like toys, candy, and decorations.
5. The Nutcracker
This festive door is inspired by the classic ballet, The Nutcracker.
A giant nutcracker statue greets guests, while a wreath and garland made of red and gold ornaments add a touch of elegance.
A sign that says, “Welcome. We are nutty about Christmas,” ties the theme together.
6. A Snowman
Snowmen are a fun and festive way to decorate your door. You can go the traditional route with the snowman or get creative and make it your own.
We love the idea of a snowman with a top hat and a few festive accessories. You can even add a scarf or some ornaments to the snowman.
7. Christmas Tree
Have a little fun with the traditional Christmas tree by making it the theme of your door.
You can create a tree with green garland or even use a tree-shaped wreath. Then, decorate it with festive ornaments and lights.
Top off your tree with a bow and add some wrapped presents to the door.
You can even add a few more trees to your front porch for a festive forest feel.
8. A Christmas Story
This movie is a classic, so why not make it the theme of your door?
You can use a lot of the same ideas as the Grinch door for this one, like the Christmas lights and the movie quote.
You can even add a leg lamp for an extra pop of color.
You can also use the movie’s iconic pink bunny suit as inspiration for your door.
Make your own leg lamp and add a quote from the movie. You can also use a pink garland and pink bows to make the bunny suit.
9. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
This is a perfect example of how less can be more. There’s not a ton of extra stuff going on here, but it’s so well put together that it doesn’t need it.
The red and white are so classic and the reindeer silhouette at the top is the cherry on top.
If you’re looking for something simple, but still want to make a statement, this is the one for you.
10. Christmas Vacation
If you’re a fan of the movie Christmas Vacation, you’ll love this door decorating idea.
It features the Griswold’s station wagon parked in front of the front door with a Christmas tree on top.
You could also add a few more elements from the movie, like the moose cups or the sewer cover that pops up in the front yard.
11. A Charlie Brown Christmas
“Christmas time is here!” and so are the Peanuts! This classic Christmas cartoon is a must-watch for many families, especially around the holidays.
Bring the Peanuts gang to life with this door decor idea.
You can even add a chalkboard to the bottom of your door to write out your favorite Charlie Brown quote or to add a festive message.
12. The Nightmare Before Christmas
This door decoration is perfect for anyone who loves the classic movie The Nightmare Before Christmas.
This door is covered in black wrapping paper and a white wreath is hung in the middle. A large black bow is added on top of the wreath.
White trees and a white deer are added around the door to give it a spooky vibe.
The final touch is a sign that says “Merry Christmas” with the words “Merry” and “Christmas” in white and the word “Christmas” in red.
The word “Christmas” is in the same font as the movie title.
