Who doesn't love a festive doormat? It's the easiest way to make a home feel dressed for the holidays and welcome guests with seasonal greetings. I narrowly missed out on this sweet Gingerbread House Christmas doormat after it went viral last year, so I'm delighted to say it's back and I've got one.

Seasonal decor doesn't get much simpler than a fabulously festive doormat, especially one that boasts best-selling credentials. This simple Habitat design sold out in record time, so this year the retailer was prepared for high demand...

The viral Habitat Gingerbread House Christmas Doormat is back

A wonderfully festive-themed mat at the front door sets the scene by saying, 'Come on in, Christmas is just the other side of this door.' So simple, yet so effective.

The video below, shared by content creators Steph & Jake @Counterproductivehome on Instagram, shows how intricate the flock detailing is on this simple design.

A simple change of doormat is an affordable way to style a hallway for Christmas, without having to go all out with garlands and the latest Christmas decorating ideas.
