CHRISTMAS DOOR IDEAS
1. Snoopy Christmas door idea
We’re starting off strong with this Snoopy Christmas door idea. I just love the look of the “snow” on the door. Use fake snow carpet to add a little texture.
2. snowman door decor
Is it really Christmas without building a snowman? Not in my book. All you need to build this snowman is black, orange, and red construction paper.
Add some Christmas lights around the door to make it look even more magical.
3. Gingerbread man Christmas door
Say hello to the gingerbread man. This door is just too cute not to recreate. The kids for sure are going to love helping out with this one.
4. take a selfie
Ok, this may just be my favorite Christmas door decoration on this list. If your classroom door has a small window like above, then you need to recreate this.
Students can take an adorable sELFie and make funny faces.
5. Christmas presents
Instead of just using construction paper to decorate your door, make real-life presents and secure them to the door. This will make your door stand out and will get you lots of compliments.
Use wrapping paper and empty cardboard boxes to make the presents.
6. santa on the beach
Even Santa can’t resist the beautiful beach. Hopefully no one steals his clothes on the line, lol!
You can get a Santa costume for children and hang that up instead because an adult’s costume would be way too big.
7. Minions Christmas tree
The crossover I didn’t think I needed. How adorable are the minions? Stack 3 or 4 of them on top of each other and have one of them try to place the star on the Christmas tree.
8. reindeer door
Are you running out of time and need something last minute, or just want an easy Christmas door idea? Look no further because this one’s for you.
All you need for this is brown, black, white, and red construction paper. It shouldn’t take you more than 10 minutes to recreate.
9. Candy Land door decor
This one is going to take you a bit of time to recreate, but it is well worth the effort. Plus, you can have your students help. It’ll be done in no time.
10. merry grinch-mas
It’s not a true Christmas without Mr. Grinch making an appearance, now is it? First, add the Christmas lights on the perimeter of the door.
Then make the hand and the cute ornament that says “Merry Grinchmas”
11. Christmas tree door
Have your students make the Christmas tree using green construction paper and rolling them up into little cones.
Attach them on your door and add your cute ornaments. Make the presents with wrapping paper and small cardboard boxes.
12. chillin’ with my snowmies
I am obsessed with this door idea. Turn your students into adorable little snowmen by making cutouts of their faces and attaching them to the snowman template.
Finish it off by incorporating the phrase “chillin’ with my snowmies”.
13. snowman tower
This Christmas door decor is similar to the minions one. Except of the minions trying to put the star on the tree; it’s the frosty little snowmen.
14. you’re a mean one mr. Grinch
Mr. Grinch will stop at nothing to ruin Christmas, even making an appearance at your school. For the tree, use Christmas garlands and DIY the gifts with cardboard boxes and wrapping paper.
15. Merry Christmas ya filthy animal!
I don’t think I’ve come across a person who doesn’t love Home Alone. Make cutouts of your students’ faces and glue them onto the house.
Incorporate Christmas lights and add little snowflakes for the finishing touch.
16. ho ho ho
The patterns on this are literally so cute. First, cover your door with red paper so the other elements pop out. This is a simple yet super cute Christmas door idea.
17. the best gifts are heind this door
Let everyone know that all the best gifts are behind your door with this stunning Christmas door decor.
You really only need red and green paper. Add a cute bow/ribbon on top to complete the look.
18. Our class is only silent at night
Looks like all the little elves are having naptime. Add stars to make the starry night sky and use different pattern paper to make the blankets.
19. not a creature was stirring
We all know and love this line from the poem, right? Well, make that the theme of your Christmas door. Include the quote and print pictures or make cutouts of lots of mice.
20. name tree
Instead of creating a traditional Christmas tree, make this one instead and write down all of your students’ names.
Add Christmas garlands on the perimeter and make colorful cutouts for the lights.
21. baby it’s cold outside
This is just the most adorable thing I have ever seen. Recreate the Christmas stocking wth craft paper. Incorporate some snowflakes and don’t forget to add your students’ faces as well.
22. It’s fine! We’re fine! Everything is fine!
I absolutely love this Christmas door decorating idea. First, make the letter cutouts to make out the words “it’s fine! we’re fine! Everything is fine!”
Then add the tangled up Christmas lights to finish the look.
23. Wishing you a whole latte cheer
Wish everyone a whole latte cheer with this stunning Christmas door idea. You’ll want to first make the Starbucks cup. Set that aside and create the background.
Add some snowflakes and then attach the cup.
24. simple christmas door
Want to show some festive spirit but don’t have time to go all out? No problem! Simply recreate this super cute and easy Christmas door. You’ll probably only need about 10 minutes for this.

Who’s sleighing kindergarten? You are, lol! This is such a fun door idea. Make the elves with your students’ faces on them and incorporate the sentence “we are sleighing kindergarten”.
27. This classroom is under elf surveillance
Better hope your kids act right; you don’t want the silly little elves reporting back to Santa that they’ve been naughty. Use mini pom poms to make Santa’s beard.
28. happy holidays
If you don’t win the best door decorating contest with this one, I don’t know what will. I love the “snow globe” look on this Christmas door. Get a clear umbrella and lots of fake snow for this one.
29. santa’s good list
Let’s see who made it onto Santa’s good list. Get wallpaper with Santa to make the background. Then write down your students’ names on the “good list” and glue that on top.
Add tinsel garland to complete the look.
30. gingerbread houses
Create a gingerbread house for each of your students. Make sure to take cute pictures to incorporate on the door. Use red and green colors and make cutouts of gingerbread men.
31. twas the night before Christmas
This poem is popular for a reason. So it only makes sense to add it to your door. Santa and his reindeer are working hard to deliver presents on time.
Add lots of stars and mini pom poms for the “snow”.
32. did you make the list
First glue red paper to make the background. Then add Santa’s belt with black and gold paper. You’re going to need a long piece of paper to make Santa’s nice list.
The students better hope they made it on.

Want a door that really stands out? Well, stop your search because this is it. First, use green paper to make the background.
Then print out a deer template and color it in. Write “Oh deer, happy holidays” and finish it off by incorporating Christmas lights.
37. Every snowflake is unique
Last but definitely not least, we have this amazing Christmas door idea. I know how scary school can be and how afraid I was to be myself.
So, give your kids a little confidence boost and encourage them to be themselves. Just like how every snowflake is unique, so are they.
