From baking cookies to sipping hot cocoa, exchanging gifts, watching Hallmark movies, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, or It's a Wonderful Life, going to see a performance of The Nutcracker, posing that darn Elf on the Shelf, spinning the dreidel, cooking up memorable meals (Hanukkah latkes! Feast of the Seven Fishes!), or simply spending time with family, the holidays can be filled with lovely, heartwarming moments that are steeped in tradition. 

Of course, in addition to enjoying  traditional entertainment and dishes, setting the stage for the holidays means finding the perfect, merry, and bright home decor.

Landing on exactly the right tree trimmings, garlands, stockings, twinkly fairly lights, or perhaps certain yard decorations, is all part of getting into holiday mode. Not only does holiday decorating offer the chance for a family to bond and express their sense of style, but it also serves as a gesture of warm welcome to extended family, neighbors, and guests who may be visiting more than usual during the social season.   

One of the most popular and easiest ways to dress up a home for the holidays is by placing a festive wreath on the door. ProFlowers.com notes that the history of the holiday wreath may date back to ancient Greece and Rome, where members of Greco-Roman society would hand-make ring-shaped “wreaths” using fresh tree leaves, twigs, small fruits, and flowers. Later on, Christians incorporated evergreen into wreaths as a symbol of strength, as they are such sturdy plants, able to survive even the harshest winter weather. 

These days, wreaths can be made from evergreens or all manner of materials to create a particular aesthetic. From wreaths inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas or Frozen to those made from glittery ornaments and others made from peppermint candies, here are 20 pretty DIY holiday wreaths.
