Right now, Amazon has markdowns on Christmas decor for outdoors and indoors as part of Prime Big Deal Days, October 10 and 11. To help make the shopping process easier, we’ve narrowed down some of the best indoor and outdoor Christmas decorations that you’ll want to add to your cart — many of which have impressive savings up to 47 percent off.

Made from cardstock, this banner offers a vintage flare without going overboard. This nostalgic banner has garnered over 5,000 five-star ratings from shoppers. One reviewer said the banner is “easy, durable, and beautiful.”
Another solid option for a more subtle Christmas decor is the XIMISHOP Christmas Snowflake Window Clings Stickers. This 82-piece pack includes a variety of different designs including Santa Claus, snowflakes, a moose, and a snowman. They don’t come with adhesive, but instead stick to windows with a bit of water making them perfect for rentals and apartment windows where you don’t want a big mess. Plus, they have the design on both sides so they can decorate both the inside and outside of any room. One shopper called them a “classic Christmas charm for your windows” while another reviewer added, “[They] help create [a] Christmas feel during the day.”
When it comes to decorating furniture for Christmas, you’ll want to consider other rooms in the house too. This table runner is one of many Grinch Christmas decorations available on Amazon and it’s less than $9. This table runner is an easy way to get into the holiday spirit in the kitchen whether that’s for a Christmas party or a Secret Santa gift exchange. It’s available in four sizes suitable for both short and long tables and can quickly be removed and put away after the holidays are over.
For a living room, the Christmas-themed pillow covers are an aesthetically pleasing way to add some holiday cheer without looking too gaudy. You’ll notice four different designs with phrases like “Let It Snow” and “Merry and Bright” and different patterns like red and black gingham and white snowflakes. One reviewer wrote: “These are beautiful! Love them! They look so nice on my couch. Great quality and great price.”
If your inside decor is all set, outdoor Christmas decorations are next to check off your list, so you can be the most festive house on the block. Christmas inflatables are the way to go if you want to bring your holiday decor to life in a fun and exciting way.
The Danxilu Christmas Inflatable Tree is an easy way to make a statement as it reaches a whopping seven feet — that’s equivalent to a life-size Christmas tree. Aside from the tree itself, Santa and a snowman pop out from the sides while LED lights offer a warm glow fit for the season.
It’s made to withstand harsh weather conditions, so you don’t have to worry about it getting damaged with high winds and snow — it’s designed to stay intact all season long with its durable ropes and ground stakes. “I have kids stopping by laughing at Santa being chased by a dog,” one shopper shared.
Other popular inflatable Christmas decorations on sale include a larger-than-life Santa Claus and Santa on a sleigh.
Other Christmas decoration ideas include festive outdoor lights and themed signs. The Moonflor Jumbo C9 Christmas Pathway Lights are ideal for those homes with long driveways that are in need of some holiday cheer. These jumbo multicolored lights are connectable and can be held in place with a cable tie and cup hook so they can stay up all season long. Shoppers love how they are “easy to install and remove” and “super cute and easy to put together.”
Last but not least, you can give your living quarters a final holiday touch with a Flagmesave Lighted Winter Garden Flag and Ivenf Christmas Outdoor Yard Front Porch Sign Set. These are great options if you don’t want to opt for large lighting fixtures or over-the-top inflatables. Made with a fade-resistant fabric, the flag is designed to last for years without undergoing wear and tear from harsh weather conditions. It may not be super bright, but the flag still lights up with tiny LED lights for that holiday flare.
