This set of christmas coloring pages free printable gives every person at the table a sheet that fits their hand. Some pages are bold and open for little fingers with crayons. Others carry finer patterns for an adult who wants to settle in with colored pencils for an hour.
There are 33 scenes in all, from a gingerbread village to a fox curled under a lit tree. Print them on plain printer paper for a quick afternoon, or load cardstock for pages you plan to frame or gift once they are colored.
Using these images: free for personal projects such as printing, coloring, cards, journals and gifts. Handmade items that include them may be sold up to 30 pieces per design. More than that is commercial use and is not permitted, and neither is selling or sharing the images themselves or passing them off as your own. Please ask before any other use.
Gingerbread Village
A row of gingerbread houses with candy roofs and frosted windows fills this sheet. A child can color the bold roof shapes in red and white while an adult adds small dots and swirls to the icing trim. The open street in front leaves room for a child to add their own snow.
Print on plain paper for a first pass, then on cardstock if the page will go up on a wall after.
Fox Under A Decorated Tree
A fox sits curled under a small tree strung with baubles and a simple star on top. The fox’s body is one large shape a child can fill quickly, while the ornaments on the tree give an adult smaller spots to pick out in different colors. For more woodland scenes like this one, see these cute animal sketching ideas.
Standard printer paper holds fine detail from markers without bleeding through.
Kitchen Full Of Cookie Trays
A kitchen counter holds trays of cookies in different shapes, a rolling pin, and a bowl of dough. Children can color the simple cookie outlines in warm browns, while an adult works on the tile pattern on the counter and the curls of steam. It pairs well with any baking day at home.
Use a heavier cardstock if the page will sit near a kitchen window for display.
Santa Filling Stockings
Santa leans toward a row of stockings hung along a mantel, a sack of toys at his feet. The stockings give a child large simple shapes to fill, and the mantel trim of holly and candles gives an adult something finer to work on. No branded characters appear anywhere on the page.
Print two copies if both a child and adult want their own version to color side by side.
Snow Globe With Reindeer
A round snow globe sits on a wooden base with a reindeer and a small tree inside it. The glass dome is left plain for an adult to add fine swirling snow, while the base and reindeer body give a child broad areas to color first. It makes a tidy single image for framing.
Family Decorating The Tree
A parent and child stand on either side of a tree, hanging ornaments and stringing lights. The tree trunk and simple clothing shapes suit a young colorist, while the string of lights and small ornaments give an adult detail to pick out bulb by bulb. It works well as a page both ages color together.
Owl In A Santa Hat
An owl perches on a snowy branch wearing a small Santa hat, holly leaves tucked beside it. The owl’s round body is one large shape for quick coloring, while its feather pattern gives an adult rows of small marks to fill in. The branch leaves space for a few berries or icicles.
Christmas Market Stalls
A row of market stalls sells ornaments, roasted nuts, and mugs of cocoa under strings of lights. Each stall roof is a simple triangle a child can color fast, while the hanging goods inside give an adult plenty of small shapes to work through. A horse-drawn sleigh waits in the background for extra detail.
Train Set Under The Tree
A toy train circles the base of a tree, passing wrapped presents and a small station platform. The train cars give a child bold shapes to color in bright colors, while the track ties and tiny station windows give an adult finer work. It suits anyone who grew up with a train under the tree.
Penguins Building A Snowman
Three penguins stack snowballs into a snowman, one holding a carrot for the nose. Each penguin’s round body is simple enough for a young colorist, while the texture on the snowman and scattered snowflakes give an adult a chance to slow down. The page suits anyone who likes a light, playful scene.
Wreath With Pinecones And Berries
A full wreath of pine branches, pinecones, and berry clusters fills the page edge to edge. A child can color the ribbon bow at the bottom in one bold color, while an adult works through the layered pinecone scales and small berries one by one. It prints well as a single standalone piece for a door.
Letter To Santa
A child sits at a small desk writing a letter to Santa, a candle and a cup of cocoa nearby. The child’s sweater and chair are large simple shapes, while the desk clutter of pencils, stamps, and an open envelope gives an adult smaller details to fill. It pairs nicely with the Christmas doodles for beginners for a writing-themed afternoon.
Cozy Cabin In The Snow
A small cabin with smoke rising from the chimney sits among snow covered pines. The cabin walls and roof are broad shapes for a child, while the window shutters, log pile, and tree branches give an adult finer lines to work through. The open sky at the top leaves room for stars or extra snow.
Reindeer Pulling A Sleigh
A team of reindeer pulls a loaded sleigh across a cloudy sky. The reindeer bodies are simple enough for a quick color pass, while the harness straps, sleigh trim, and cloud shapes reward slower work with colored pencils. No sleigh driver is shown, so the page suits either a quiet scene or one a child fills in themselves.
Candy Cane Forest
Giant candy canes stand in for trees across a snowy clearing, with a few real pines mixed in. The curved candy canes give a child an easy repeating shape to color, while the bark texture on the pines gives an adult something finer. It is a playful page for anyone who likes patterned coloring.
Nutcracker Soldier
A tall nutcracker figure stands at attention with a tall hat and a row of buttons down his coat. The coat and hat are broad shapes to color first, while the buttons, braid trim, and painted face give an adult plenty of small detail. This classic figure fits well next to any gingerbread scene from this set.
Christmas Morning Living Room
A living room scene shows a tree surrounded by opened presents, stockings on the mantel, and a fire in the fireplace. The large furniture shapes suit a child’s quick pass, while the wrapping paper patterns and fireplace tiles give an adult room to slow down. It works as a page to color together on the actual morning.
Snowman Family
Three snowmen of different sizes stand in a row, each wearing a scarf and hat. The round bodies are simple for a young colorist, while the knit pattern on each scarf gives an adult small repeating shapes to fill. Trim the sheet to card size afterward and stand it up as a tiny mantel display.
Birds At A Winter Feeder
A cluster of small birds gathers at a hanging feeder, snow resting on the roof above them. The feeder itself is one broad shape, while the individual birds give an adult smaller areas to pick out in different colors. Those who enjoy birds in the garden may also like the Christmas sketching ideas for beginners.
Advent Calendar Wall
A wall of small numbered doors makes up an advent calendar, some doors open to show tiny pictures inside. Each door is a simple square for a child to color one at a time, while the small images behind the open doors give an adult fine detail work. It suits a slow, repeated coloring session across several sittings.
Hot Cocoa And Marshmallows
Two mugs of cocoa topped with marshmallows sit on a table next to a small plate of cookies. The mugs are large and simple for quick color, while the steam curls and marshmallow texture give an adult finer lines to add. Trim the page down to a small card size for a holiday note once it is colored.
Christmas Tree Farm
Rows of pine trees of different heights stand across a farm field, with a small cart for carrying home a chosen tree. The rows give a child a repeating shape to color quickly, while the branch texture on each tree rewards an adult who wants to spend longer on one sheet.
Mice Baking In A Teapot
A pair of mice work inside a large teapot turned into a tiny kitchen, with a mixing bowl and a rolling pin sized for them. The mice bodies are simple shapes for a child, while the teapot’s floral pattern gives an adult fine repeating detail. It is a whimsical page for anyone who likes small hidden scenes.
Stocking Stuffed With Toys
A single stocking hangs full of small toys, a candy cane poking out the top. The stocking shape itself is broad and simple, while the toys peeking out give an adult a row of small items to color separately. It stands alone well as a single gift tag sized image once trimmed down.
Angel Ornament Close Up
A single angel ornament fills most of the page, wings spread and a small halo above her head. The dress is one broad shape for a child’s quick color pass, while the feather detail on the wings gives an adult plenty of fine line work. This page suits colored pencils better than thick markers.
Sledding Down A Hill
Two children ride a sled down a snowy hill, pine trees lining either side. The sled and the children’s coats are simple shapes for fast coloring, while the tree branches and distant rooftops at the bottom give an adult more to work through. For other pencil based winter scenes, try the Christmas drawing ideas in pencil.
Christmas Village Church
A small church with a tall steeple stands at the center of a snowy village square, surrounded by a few shops. The church walls are broad shapes for a child, while the stained glass windows and roof shingles give an adult finer work. It pairs naturally with the gingerbread village page earlier in this set.
Deer Family In Snowy Woods
A doe and two fawns stand among snow covered trees, one fawn looking back over its shoulder. The deer bodies are simple enough for a child to color quickly, while the bark texture and falling snowflakes give an adult more to do. It makes a calm page for anyone who prefers quiet winter scenes over festive clutter.
Santa’s Workshop Bench
A workbench covered in half finished toys, paint pots, and tools fills this sheet, with a rocking horse leaning against the leg of the bench. The toys are simple shapes for a child, while the wood grain on the bench and the small tools give an adult plenty of fine detail to fill in slowly.
Mittens And Scarves By The Fire
A row of mittens and scarves hangs drying near a small fireplace, snow boots lined up below them. The mittens and boots are broad shapes for quick coloring, while the knit patterns on the scarves give an adult smaller repeating shapes. It is a quiet, cozy page suited to colored pencils rather than bold marker work.
Poinsettia And Candles
A cluster of poinsettia flowers sits beside a row of tall candles on a table runner. The flower petals are broad and simple enough for a child, while the candle flames and runner pattern give an adult finer work. It fits well as a centerpiece style page for anyone decorating a table this season.
Ice Skating Pond
Several figures skate across a frozen pond ringed with pine trees and a small warming hut. The skaters’ coats are simple shapes for a child, while the ice texture and hut details give an adult a longer project. Anyone who enjoys this kind of scene may also like the Christmas watercolor ideas for painting it in color later.
Rocking Horse By The Tree
A wooden rocking horse sits beside a decorated tree, a ribbon tied around its neck. The horse body is one broad shape for fast coloring, while the mane, saddle trim, and tree ornaments nearby give an adult finer detail. This final page works well printed on cardstock as a standalone keepsake once colored.
What to Do Next
Print the pages you want for this sitting, set out crayons for the younger colorists and pencils for everyone else, and let each person pick a scene that suits their patience for the afternoon.
Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for these christmas coloring pages free printable sheets?
Plain printer paper is fine for a quick family session with crayons or markers. If a page will be framed, gifted, or colored with wet markers, switch to a heavier cardstock so the ink does not bleed through to the next sheet or the table underneath.
What printer settings give the cleanest lines?
Print at the highest quality setting your printer offers and choose black and white or grayscale rather than color, which saves ink and keeps the lines crisp. Fit to page works well for most printers, since every sheet here is designed to fill a standard page edge to edge.
What size should the pages print at?
Standard letter or A4 size suits every page in this set, since each scene is drawn to fill that space without extra cropping. If you want a smaller card for a stocking or a gift tag, print as normal and trim the finished page down with scissors afterward.
What should kids use to color these pages versus adults?
Young children do best with chunky crayons or washable markers on the bolder pages, since those have large simple shapes. Teens and adults get more satisfaction from colored pencils or fine tip markers on the detailed pages, where small patterns like scarf knit or pinecone scales reward slower work.
Can these pages be glued or layered into something else?
Yes, several pages such as the stocking, the rocking horse, or the wreath work well cut out with scissors and glued onto a folded card for a handmade holiday greeting. Keep a glue stick on hand rather than liquid glue, since it will not wrinkle the thinner printer paper.
