A black door covered with blue and white lettering that reads "CHILLIN WITH MY SNOWMIES." Several small cartoon penguins are scattered around the text. Below the text are twelve white paper snowman cutouts, each with a small photograph of a person's face inside the head area.
A door covered in bright green paper with white scalloped borders. The text is written in white and red glitter, reading, "Wishing You a whole LATTE cheer." A large, red and white polka-dot Starbucks-style coffee cup with a green straw and whipped cream topping is affixed to the center. Small white snowflake/cloud cutouts surround the cup.
A door decorated to look like a fireplace or chimney. A large black shape resembling a stovepipe or chimney rises up the center with white, cotton-like material at the top to simulate smoke. A red skirt-like base covers the bottom of the door. Various pages with handwritten "Thankful" notes and drawings are taped around the central chimney structure, and red tinsel frames the door.
A door decorated with alternating horizontal stripes of green and white paper. A large, cartoon reindeer with a red scarf and big eyes is centered on the door. The top of the door is framed with red and green tinsel, and the words "MERRY CHRISTMAS" are written above the reindeer's head, along with small candy cane cutouts.
A door covered in white paper with the words "LET IT SNOW" at the top. A large, hand-drawn figure of Santa Claus wearing a red and white hat is centered, with various small drawings of snowmen, penguins, and other holiday figures scattered around him.
A door decorated with a large green paper Christmas tree shape over a red and white brick-patterned backdrop (to resemble a fireplace). The ornaments on the tree are made from colorful, tie-dye style coffee filters, with some names written on them. A yellow star tops the tree.
A door covered in blue paper with the message: "Thank you! All Volunteers We Would Be a MESS Without you!!" The word "MESS" is written in red. There's a small drawing of a blue recycling/trash bin with a tiny Santa hat. The rest of the door is covered with small photographs of people volunteering and small drawings of children dressed in elf outfits.
A door covered in brown paper with drawings and text celebrating the holidays and multiplication. The title reads "MULTIPLY YOUR WAY INTO THE HOLIDAY." Drawings include Santa holding a list of multiplication problems, a reindeer, a glass of milk, a plate of chocolate chip cookies, and wrapped gifts. Strings of paper Christmas lights frame the edge of the door.
A door covered in a dark blue/black paper with a white snowflake pattern. In the center, a Christmas tree is constructed entirely from cut-out white paper handprints, topped with a yellow star. Beneath the tree are multiple small, colorful gift and cup cutouts, and a snowman figure made from three white fuzzy pom-poms is on the right side.
Fri-YAY Crafting! ✂️🎄

A yellow cartoon star with a smiling face and blue arms is sitting at a red table, eating nachos from a bowl. Next to the nachos is an open box of Little Caesars pepperoni pizza.
