Add a wreath(s) to the door(s). Some white Christmas lights around the doors and the roofline always look pretty.
Oh wow, take a look at what Pinterst has to offer:

My number 1 for outdoor decorations is lights. Outlining the edging or use them to make a star or tree out of lights on the side.
White lights along the roof edge and a GIANT wreath above the door. Simple, classy.
I imagine it depends on your goals. You can keep it simple or go over the top. Lights, garlands, wreaths, DIY or purchased decor; you’re only limited by your imagination.
Hi Diane. If your barn has 2 doors, I recommend placing extra large wreaths on them. You can make them using hula hoops or pool noodles duct taped to form a circle (or something just as large). Using floral wire place evergreen pieces all around the hoop. Secure them in place with the floral wire. Keep all the evergreen pieces pointed in the same direction. You can decorate the wreaths by adding lights, ornaments, pine cones, ribbon, etc., And, Diane, here's some good news, except for the evergreen pieces, all the items I mentioned can be purchased at the Dollar Tree. Good luck. I'm wishing you very Happy Holidays.

Seems fitting to make a barn quilt in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Hi Diane, do you perhaps have a picture of your barn you can share? That way we can look for something that will work for you and your space.
large wreaths, garland, and lots of white lights
Here's a post that might help - https://horsemansnews.com/decorating-your-barn-for-christmas/
Here's some ideas. Placing white lights on farm equipment (if you have it sitting outside) is always attractive and interesting too. Colored or clear lights around doors/windows/ or other openings is usually attractive as well.

Is it a real barn? If so I would hang a huge wreath with lights on it, I think they are so beautiful!
Are you talking the outside or inside? This should be all of the inspiration you need: https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS723US725&sxsrf=ALeKk03yA7VdNdZ6aIxEeLY6qry8MOFX3w:1607177382899&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=decorate+a+barn+for+christmas&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjok_6ngrftAhUx01kKHUhmCl4QjJkEegQIAhAB&biw=1280&bih=666
1. Keep holiday decorations out of reach.
Garlands, ornaments, and lights will be utterly delicious and irresistible to some horses. Arrange any holiday decorations away from the reach of every horse, even the least curious ones. If you have a particularly clever horse that might use his powers of sorcery and contortion for evil and not good, skip decorating around that guy’s house. The trouble with garland and long stringed things is that they can easily create impactions if eaten.
Also think about the barn cats and dogs. Are they going to be tempted to grab some garland and zip down the barn aisle?
2. Don’t burn down the barn.Sure, twinkly lights are the best! However, overworked circuitry and extension cords increase fire risks. If you absolutely, positively MUST have lights, make sure they are the LED version that won’t generate heat.
3. Don’t use poisonous decorations.Holly, mistletoe, and poinsettia are all toxic. Mistletoe and holly are definitely toxic to horses, dogs, and cats. Poinsettia is mildly toxic. You may want to stick to artificial varieties of these things. Same goes for pine – while the real version is lovely, there is a lot of sap involved.
Happy decorating!
Our neighbors have a barn behind us that they keep their horses in. They usually put up wreaths on the front door and then they have those projector lights on two sides and it is so pretty. They do polka dots that move around in Christmas colors.

Hi,
