10 Wooden Outdoor Christmas Decorations Ideas – It’s that time of year again. The weather is turning colder, the leaves are falling from the trees, and everyone is getting ready for Christmas.

If you’re like me, your home has been decorated with garlands and lights since Halloween.

However, I’ve always felt that there was something missing—something natural and warm-feeling about Christmas. I’m talking about wooden outdoor Christmas decorations!

With these simple wooden Christmas decorations around your home or yard (and maybe even some metal ones too), you can bring that cozy fire-place feel into your front yard this holiday season.

10 Wooden Outdoor Christmas Decorations Ideas

Nutcracker

Nutcrackers are a traditional Christmas decoration and are made from wood. They have a wooden handle that is often painted to look like it’s covered with fur, and a head that looks like a nut – hence the name.

Many nutcrackers have been around for hundreds of years, with the oldest dating back to 1580.

Nutcrackers come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and designs; some even feature moving parts!

Snowmen

Snowmen are a popular choice of holiday decoration. They can be used to decorate the lawn, garden, ornaments, and even the front door!

Snowmen can be made from a variety of materials and styles but wooden snowmen are one of the most popular options and make great Christmas decorations.

Santa Claus

Santa Claus is the most popular Christmas decoration, and he is a symbol of Christmas. Santa Claus wears a red suit, hat and beard.

He has a sleigh pulled by reindeer that carries him around delivering presents to children on Christmas Eve.

Gingerbread Man

The gingerbread man is a classic Christmas decoration. He’s made of wood and painted red and white, with a top hat and scarf to keep him warm during the winter months.

In one hand, he holds a cookie; in the other, some candy cane sticks. This ornament was created by Hallmark to celebrate their 75th anniversary as a company.

Trees

Trees are the centerpiece of any outdoor display, and they come in all shapes, sizes, materials and colors. There are many different types of trees to choose from:

  • Pine trees are the most popular choice for Christmas decorations. They typically have soft needles that can be easily bent without breaking off. Pine needles add a beautiful scent when crushed underfoot during Christmas caroling sessions!
  • Cedar trees are another common type of tree used for decorating outdoors at Christmastime. Their wood has been used for centuries to make furniture and other household items because it resists insects such as termites or beetles that might eat away at other types of wood products. In addition to its durability against pests, cedar also has aromatic leaves which can be chewed by some animals (like cows!) in order “purge themselves” before being slaughtered so that their meat does not taste bad afterwards.”

Sleigh

In addition to being used as a decoration, this wooden sleigh can also be used as a toy for children. It’s perfect for riding around the yard, or taking down the chimney and delivering presents.

It comes with two separate pieces of track that are easy to connect together, but don’t come apart easily once connected.

This may be problematic if you plan on using it as a toy because your child will want it to be easily accessible when he wants to play with it—and since most kids aren’t exactly gentle with their toys, this might not work out for you!

If you’re planning on using this as an outdoor decoration though (or even indoors), then you’ll probably like that the tracks are connected with screws instead of glue or nails so they won’t fall off after some wear-and-tear by little hands!

Bells

Bells are a traditional Christmas decoration. The sound of bells is quite peaceful, so they can really help set the mood for the holidays.

Bells can be used to decorate your Christmas tree, wreath or door. You can also hang them from the ceiling or windows. Bells come in different sizes and shapes, so you can buy them in accordance with your taste and preference!

Sled

A sled is a great decoration for the winter season, as well as being a fun toy for kids to play with.

Its compact shape makes it easy to store and transport when not in use, but its sturdy material makes it durable enough to withstand plenty of wear and tear.

It can be used for sledding, ice fishing, or even snowboarding!

Reindeer

Reindeer are a popular Christmas decoration, as they have been for centuries.

It’s also a tradition to give reindeer as gifts at Christmas time. Reindeer can be made from wood, metal or plastic and come in many styles.

Bunnies

Bunnies are cute and fun decorations that can be used for Easter as well as Christmas.

You can paint them to match your Christmas decorations, making them a perfect decoration for both holidays. They’re easy to make, and even easier to store when you’re not using them!

Conclusion

These wooden outdoor Christmas decorations are sure to add some extra cheer to your home! They’re perfect for putting up around the house or in the yard, and they’ll give you something fun to look at while enjoying your holiday season.
