Step into a Christmas card scene right on your lawn.
The glowing lamp post, dressed in garland and ribbon, feels like it belongs on a snowy street corner, while the snowman, complete with broom and bright scarf, looks ready to wave at passersby.
Together, they tell a story of cozy winter nights, carolers, and holiday gatherings.
This isn’t just décor; it’s an invitation to relive the magic of childhood winters, even if there’s no snow on the ground.

Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Set up your lamp post or DIY column. Then wrap it in brick-pattern paper or paint to mimic a classic chimney look.
Step 2: Attach the lantern at the top and fit it with a warm LED bulb to create that cozy glow. You can also add ribbon or greenery for extra charm.
Step 3: Place the snowman figure beside the lamp post.
If making your own, paint and assemble using outdoor-safe materials and give him a colorful scarf and hat.
Step 4: Position the broom in his hand to complete the classic snowman look.
Step 5: Hang a wreath with ornaments and a festive sign on the lamp post to tie the whole display together.
Step 6: Plug in your lantern light at dusk and watch your yard transform into a glowing holiday vignette.
