Going back through American TV personality and HGTV star Joanna Gaines' archive has reignited my love for the holiday season. However, if the thought of yet another Christmas tree makes you want to sigh, then worry not. There are many other ways to make your home feel festive at this time of year that go beyond your typical Christmas tree ideas.
Personally, I love using pot filler plants to change out my outdoor display each season, and it would appear that Joanna Gaines does the same. It is a wonderful way to make your outdoor Christmas decor look good, greet guests, and set the tone for the rest of your home.
It couldn't be simpler to master this fabulous Christmas porch idea in your home.

Straight from the HGTV Home Collection – a range I have tried myself – this decorative arrangement features a mixture of snow-dusted evergreen branch tips that are trimmed with pinecones and red berry clusters for added natural appeal.
For me, Christmas decorating ideas for the front of the home are so important; it is the start and end of the story – and first and last impressions are so important.
No front porch is completely dressed for Christmas without a flourish of foliage and flowers. The humble plant pot is one of the most versatile pieces of decor we have at our disposal. It is also one of the easiest display items to change throughout the year.
Make your Christmas pot display the center of attention, with garden foliage, fragrant herbs, and colorful flowers used on a grand scale. This year’s festive designs are showpieces. They are big, bold, and shapely, so much so that we think they should be your first port of call when it comes to Yuletide decorating.
However, if you fancy foraging for berries and branches yourself, many big box retailers and garden centers have beautiful designs that will last every Christmas. This isn't a Christmas trend or fad – a festive pot filler will last.
