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.

Materials Needed

• 1 large snowman figure (plastic, inflatable, or homemade with wood frame)
• Outdoor-safe paint (white, black, red, green)
• Scarf and hat
• 1 broom prop (store-bought or crafted from wood and raffia)
• 1 lamp post or DIY column with brick-pattern wrap (approx. 4-5 ft tall)
• Lantern light fixture with LED bulb
• Holiday wreath with ornaments and ribbon
• “Merry Christmas” sign or plaque
• Hot glue gun or strong outdoor adhesive
• Extension cord

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.
