Christmas Coloring Pages

Santa, reindeer, snowmen, gingerbread houses and Christmas trees, ready to color. Tap a picture to color it online, or print it for a cozy afternoon with crayons.

These pages are drawn for coloring: bold outlines, big shapes for little hands, and a few detailed designs for older kids and grown-ups who like a slower, calmer color session.

Ideas for using Christmas coloring pages

Print a stack before the holidays and keep them by the kids' table at Christmas dinner; a coloring page and a few crayons buy the grown-ups a calm half hour. Colored pages also make simple handmade cards: fold a sheet in half, color the front and write a note inside for grandparents.

In the classroom, the simpler pages work well for preschool and kindergarten fine-motor practice, while the mandala and nutcracker designs suit older students who want more detail. Hang the finished pictures as a holiday display or string them up as a paper garland.

Coloring tips for festive pictures

Classic Christmas colors are red, green and gold, but snow scenes look magical in soft blues and purples with a white background left uncolored. For ornaments and wrapping paper, try repeating two or three colors in a pattern. Online, use the fill tool for big shapes and switch to the small brush for stripes, dots and twinkle lights.

Which pages are best for toddlers and preschoolers?
Pick pictures with a few large shapes, like the snowman, candy canes, gingerbread man or Christmas stocking. They are easy to fill with chunky crayons or with one tap online.
Do you have Christmas coloring pages for adults?
