Looking for Christmas door ideas to make your Christmas morning even more magical? You’ve come to the right place! Enter now…

Let’s Talk About Christmas Door Decorating Ideas

So last Christmas I did a thing. I pulled out a crapload of wrapping paper and “wrapped” up our kitchen door that leads to our living room area where all the Christmas magic was waiting for them. 

In addition to finding a wrapped door to rip through, the kids were greeted with the regular festive goodies – stockings stuffed with mini treats, presents under the tree and a plate full of cookie crumbs.

Using wrapping paper is just one of the many ways you can decorate your door for Christmas and it’s certainly not the most exciting option either. Take a look at some of these amazing Christmas door ideas!

Christmas door decorating is another way to add an extra touch of festivity to the household, whether you opt for an inside door that leads to your Christmas zone or an outside door to greet those coming to say hi. It just makes everything feel extra festive.

Temu has an epic selection of Christmas door decorations but, of course, it’s probably too late this Christmas to order anything from Temu and there’s always the chance the item delivered is actually designed for a Barbie’s Dreamworld door and not your actual door.

So, instead, we focused on Christmas door ideas and Christmas door decorations you can DIY! A lot of these ideas came from the amazing gal over at A Girl and a Glue gun so make sure you check her FB page out for more ideas. 

Without further ado, our fave DIY Christmas door ideas! 

1. Frosty the Doorman 

We’ll start with a super simple one. Some eyes, some paper, a bit of Blutack. You’ve got this.

2. All Wrapped Up

This is sort of the look I went with but this one looks about 50000 times better than my attempt. As soon as you see your door all decked out, it’s like bam—instant Christmas vibes. You open it, and it’s like stepping into a holiday wonderland.

Calling all Green Door households – this one has to be copied! So pleasing to the senses – all those greens and yuletide joy. Tree bliss.

4. Light up the Door 

Here’s another pleasing Christmas door idea, and all it takes to pull it off is some Christmas light stencils, coloured paper and fairy lights. Easy peasy, right? I believe this door was designed for a classroom but hey, it works for a home as well.

5. A Classfull of Stockings 

Another classroom classic, this door is designed to store the names of all the kiddies inside the classroom. Seriously teachers are soooo clever! You could pull it off at home though with your own tribe of kids and pets.

I mean, it’s just not Christmas without an ugly sweater…

7. Gingerbread House Door

Open the door to a room full of tasty treats and festive fun! Again, all you really need for this is a bit of coloured card, some tissue paper, paper plates and pure imagination…

11. Stockings Hung by the Fireplace with Care

Don’t have a fireplace? No dramas. Just turn your door into the fireplace, complete with stockings hung with care. See kids, Santa doesn’t technically need a chimney. He just needs a Door with a Chimney on it…

12. Santa’s Little Helpers

What’s behind the door? Christmas wonderland of course! This is a fun one for the kids to open Christmas morning and see what Santa brought them.

13. The Gift of Christmas

I suppose there’s no better way to say “there’s presents behind the door” than by putting cardboard presents on the door.

14. A Nutcracker of an idea

No nuts about it – this door is a cracker!

15. Poinsettia Door-light

Poinsettias are one of the main Christmas plants (for those who didn’t know) and this door has a bit of a nativity vibe going down so well. Very unique, very pretty, very calming. I’m not sure if that’s Mary at the bottom with the candle but she looks pretty pleased with it all.

16. A Bow-tiful Welcome

I’m wrapping up our Christmas door decorating ideas with another front door option. Put a bow on it and call it December.
