The holidays are just around the corner! You're probably thinking of ways you can decorate your 3 or 4 season porch and utilize it for holiday entertaining. We've thought of a few ideas for you to get into the holiday spirit and liven up your porch in this dreary winter!

Hot Cocoa Bar

Imagine yourself cozying up by the fire, drinking a warm cup of hot cocoa, and reading a good book - or maybe you're sitting around the fireplace with friends, hot cocoas in hand, and enjoying each others' company. Doesn't that sound lovely? Hot cocoa bars are a great way to add holiday decoration to your porch as well as entertain your guests! Check out Anthropologie for cute mugs and other decor to add to your hot cocoa bar.

Fondue Party

Fondue parties are simple and informal but perfect for a cold winter evening! Try this Roasted Garlic and Black Pepper Raclette Fondue recipe from William Sonoma. Or if you're looking for something sweeter, try this Chocolate Fondue. Either way, both guests and stomachs will be satisfied.

DIY Decorations with the family

Involve the kids in holiday decorating by making paper snowflakes! DIY decorations are fun and engaging activities for the whole family. It also adds a unique and special touch to your porch.

ADD SOME COLOR and light

Winter can bring on some dull colors but you can always liven up your porch by mixing evergreens and berries for your outdoor plants.

Dress up your porch with lanterns for a festive and classy feel - as well as add more light! Or fill them with Christmas ornaments or pinecones for an easy look.
