17 December, 2021 by Ana
Christmas is almost here, and we can’t wait for everything to become magical and lively. To prepare for the festive days, we love wrapping gifts, cooking special foods, and decorating our homes. But, as outdoors aficionados, we can’t forget about our outside heaven, the garden!
Outdoor decorations are crucial for creating the perfect, cheerful atmosphere we love so much during the holiday season. If you want to turn your garden into a festive oasis, continue reading and find out our best ideas about how to decorate and warm up your garden for Christmas.
Oh, the Beautiful Lights!
There is nothing like the cozy, toasty atmosphere created by warm lights. We recommend you illuminate your garden during the whole year, but now it’s time to go wild! And you can begin with lighting up your walkways.
Whether you have trees, small shrubs, or just flowers around your walkways, we suggest you dress everything up in magical Christmas lights. They don’t need to be so strong your neighbors could see them from their homes. Just use low-maintenance, exterior-safe lights that make the walkway visible for you and your guests and enhance the cozy but cheerful vibe. Since it’s Christmas, you can use twinkle or colorful lights. Your choice!
Also, don’t forget to light up the wreath or garlands on your doors and your sitting area. Here you can put lights in jars or baskets as well as some of your favorite Christmas ornaments. For instance, put a light strand in a jar and display it on your table or across the porch. Also, consider adding an outdoor heater or even a fire pit for the beautiful light, coziness, and warmth.
A Garden Christmas Tree Is Always A Great Idea
Adding lights to all the shrubs and trees in your garden is a fantastic idea, but how about an outdoor Christmas tree? It would be ideal to have a pine tree in your garden. Imagine your entire family spending a whole winter day outdoors, playing in the snow, indulging in a BBQ lunch, and decorating the big pine tree in your backyard. What a delightful moment!
If you don’t have a pine tree in your garden, you should consider planting one for next year but don’t wait until then to have your outdoor Christmas tree. Get creative and decorate any tree you have. Who says you can’t turn that apple tree into a Christmas spectacle? The kids will be so happy to participate in an imaginative and fun activity!
You Need Festive and Cozy Sitting Place
If you plan to decorate your garden, you should also enjoy it properly. And, during the winter months, your outdoor sitting area needs an upgrade. As mentioned, lanterns, string lights, and Christmas decorations will create a cozier vibe for you, but that’s not enough.
If you want to spend more time enjoying the cold, fresh air, you need a welcoming patio and sitting area. You can still use your summer furniture, but, to make it cozy, add more soft pillows and warm blankets. Even if you already have a heater, a few blankets are necessary to enhance the comfort of your family and guests.
A fire pit would be like the cherry on the cake. Just imagine Christmas Eve, with you and your loved ones warming up around a fire pit while roasting marshmallows and indulging in a hot cup of cocoa. What a delightful moment!
Happy Christmas with Savory Food: The BBQ Area
Whether you plan to pamper yourself with cozy outdoor moments on Christmas Eve or Day, it’s your choice. However, since food is such an important part of the celebration, we suggest you prepare your BBQ area, as well. You can make it festive with decorations and lights, but, more importantly, it is to make it useful. Be sure your utensils are properly working, your grill is ready to use, and you have proper clothing for a successful winter grilling session.
And, if you want an enhanced festive dinner, consider upgrading your grill with a smoker. The Z-Smoker Pellet Tube is an exquisite addition for every BBQ enthusiast. Made with premium materials, fair-priced, and easy to use and install, this smoker will help you have a culinary experience not only on Christmas but every time you feel like firing up the grill!
