An outdoor Christmas wreath is an absolute must, no matter whether you usually go all out or just keep to the basics with the rest of your holiday decorating. The style possibilities are endless, from designs decked out with ornaments, bows, and snow to those that are pristine and evergreen.
The best outdoor Christmas wreaths are the ones that are a good size relative to your door — the standard wreath size is 24 inches — and feel sturdy and well-made. These reviewer-favorite finds each have slightly different decorative features to suit all types of holiday aesthetics.
Even if the holidays still feel far away, you’ll want to hang a wreath as soon as that first winter frost sets in. And luckily for you, all of these choices are conveniently safe for covered outdoor use. These 20 outdoor Christmas wreaths will bring an extra festive touch to your home.

National Tree Company Pre-Lit Outdoor Green Winterberry Artificial Christmas Wreath
This outdoor Christmas wreath is a classic in every sense: It's a lush piece with small decorative flourishes like pinecones, berries, and the tiniest bit of flocking on its branch tips.
It's pre-lit with 200 white lights, so it'll be highly visible when illuminated at night. Reviewers say that although some adjusting is involved in making it look its fullest, the result is beautifully realistic.
The National Tree Company LED Crestwood Spruce Artificial Christmas Wreath is a classic piece that has all of the traditional holiday-decor trimmings: pinecones, berries, flocked branch tips, and even a strand of battery-powered LEDs.
Users advise that you'll want to make sure to fluff it up to its fullest look before hanging!
When we think of what the quintessential outdoor Christmas wreath might look like, this is what comes to mind. The Frontgate Christmas Cheer Cordless Wreath looks as real as can be with its varied evergreen sprigs, ruby-red berry clusters, and pinecones (OK, those are real), topped off with a big red bow.
Its micro-LEDs come pre-strung, and it's battery-operated. As annoying as it might be to track down C batteries (or D batteries, if you get the larger size), all you have to do is flip on the wreath when you want it to illuminate, and it'll run for 6 hours before automatically turning off and will repeat the process for as long as the season lasts!
If holiday aesthetics are everything to you, buying a Christmas wreath that's as realistic as possible is the natural choice. Balsam Hill uses exclusive True Needle technology in all of their faux greenery to mimic the variation in shape and color that you'd find in nature.
The Mountain Meadow Foliage looks fresh and lively, decked out with timed LED lights and botanical accents that certainly won't look out-of-season if you choose to leave it hanging at your entryway well over the new year comes and goes.
Whether you choose to buy this wreath solo or paired with its matching garland, it will instantly add cabin-like coziness to your home. The West Elm Pre-Lit Faux Cypress Pine Wreath displays ruffled, pine-y sprigs dotted with pinecones and lights for a style that’s rugged in just the right way.
