Opt for Weather-Resistant Hooks
While any ol' Command hook will initially do the trick, it won't be able to withstand a month (or three) of winter weather. Attach garland or window swags with stick-on hooks — Christmas lights, especially! — made specifically for outdoor windows and house exteriors to ensure that your décor stays put all season long.

Attach a Garland Hanger
For an easy, foolproof option, attach a garland hanger to any door frame — indoors or outdoors — and just drape your greens over the top. Since they're adjustable, they can be moved around from door to door (or door to window) in the years to come.

Hide a Hook in the Back
To make sure that your wreath really shines, stick a hook on the back of the door instead of the front. Then, loop the ribbon on to the hook and over the door. This way, the front looks seamless, and the bow on the back of the door offers a sweet surprise.

Glue Light Strands Directly to Your House
Hot glue is one of the easiest ways to temporarily attach a string of lights or garland to the outside of your home. Here's the catch: It doesn't work on every surface — hot glue will cause paint to peel off and stucco to melt — and it's probably not recommended by light manufacturers, so try this tip at your own risk.
