In addition to fresh greenery, we love the look of potted poinsettias surrounding your entryway. Add one of two on your porch steps for a pop of color, or go all-out. Like this one, for example, that makes poinsettias the main theme of their holiday decor.

You know all that fresh greenery and poinsettia plants you’re adding to your entryway? They would look a lot more festive with some artificial snow.
