These cute Christmas stickers gather round-faced snowmen, gingerbread friends, polar bears and a whole sleigh full of other small characters onto eighteen separate sheets, each one its own little sub-theme. They suit junk journal spreads, planner weeks, card fronts and gift tags equally well, and every sheet has its own objects so nothing in the set repeats.

Print each sheet on printable sticker paper for a true peel-and-stick sticker, or on plain paper if you plan to cut and glue instead. Print at actual size rather than letting the printer scale to fit the page, and leave a thin white border around each piece when you cut so the ink edge stays protected.

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.

Snowy Characters

A snowman in a red scarf, a snowman in a top hat, a tiny snowman with earmuffs, a snowman holding a broom and a melting snow baby fill this sheet with five small winter faces, each one round and rosy-cheeked in its own hat or scarf.

Tuck one or two onto a planner week where the weather turns cold, or run the whole row along the bottom of a card front. Sticker paper lets you peel and press without any glue mess, which matters if you are working through a stack of cards in one sitting.

A seal in a scarf, a little walrus with a bow, a husky puppy in boots, a moose in a hat and a narwhal with a star bring a wider circle of cold-weather animals onto one sheet, each one drawn as a single round, friendly object.

These pair nicely with the snowman stickers on a winter journal spread, since both sheets share the same icy palette. Leave the thin white edge around the narwhal’s horn and the moose antlers when you cut, since those thin points tear easily if you trim too close.

Snowy Friends StickersDownload and Print

A tree with a face, a tree in a pot, a tree with a star crown, a little snowy fir and a tree in a red wagon give you five cheerful little conifers, perfect scattered across a holiday planner spread or lined up along a card border.

If you want a quick five-minute card, cut just the tree in a red wagon and glue it dead centre on a plain folded card with a hand-written greeting underneath. No other decoration needed.

Kitchen Sweets

A gingerbread man waving, a gingerbread girl with a bow, a gingerbread house with gumdrops, a bitten cookie and an icing bag cover this sheet, each shape rounded and warm brown with simple icing details.

Plain paper works fine here if sticker stock has run out: cut each piece out and fix it down with a small dab of glue stick, pressing from the centre outward so the edges lie flat against the page.

Gingerbread Folk StickersDownload and Print

A smiling cupcake, a happy candy cane, a cocoa mug with a face, a cookie with a face and a smiling marshmallow turn five everyday treats into tiny characters, each with the same round rosy-cheeked look as the rest of the set.

These suit a food-themed journal page or a baking-week planner spread equally well. Pair the sheet with the gingerbread folk stickers for a full kitchen corner of sweets on one page, or save the cocoa mug alone for a cosy winter tag.

Cute Treats StickersDownload and Print

A mouse in a teacup, a mouse in a sock, a mouse with a cheese wedge gift, a mouse holding a candle and a mouse on a thimble give the sheet a cosy, storybook feel, each tiny mouse round-bodied with a pink nose and small rosy cheeks.

A craft knife helps most with this sheet, since the mouse tails and the thimble’s thin rim both have small curved gaps that scissors struggle to clear cleanly. Work slowly on a cutting mat and turn the paper rather than the blade.

Woodland and Winter Animals

A polar bear in a hat, a polar bear cub on a sled, a bear holding a mug, a bear with a gift and a sleeping bear cub make up this sheet of round, soft-furred bears, each one warmly dressed for the cold.

Read more about drawing bears like these in this collection of bear painting ideas if you want to sketch your own version alongside the printed sheet. Otherwise, cut and keep the sleeping cub for a bedtime card or a soft winter journal corner.

Cozy Polar Bears StickersDownload and Print

A reindeer with a red nose, a reindeer in a scarf, a fawn with jingle bells, a reindeer hugging a star and a sleeping reindeer fill this sheet with five small deer, soft brown and round-faced with tiny antlers.

Scatter these across a planner week in December or use the reindeer hugging a star as the centrepiece of a handmade card. The reindeer with jingle bells works well tucked into the corner of a gift tag too, if you want a matching set across your wrapping.

Baby Reindeer StickersDownload and Print

A teddy bear in pajamas, a teddy with a candy cane, a bear on a rocking horse, a bear in a stocking and a bear reading bring a nostalgic, nursery-soft feel to the sheet, each teddy rounded and plush-looking with the familiar rosy cheeks.

Browse these teddy bear watercolour ideas for more of the same gentle, old-fashioned character if this sheet becomes a favourite. The bear reading pairs nicely with a bookmark-style gift tag for a book lover on your list.

Christmas Teddies StickersDownload and Print

An owl in earmuffs, an owl on a pine branch, a baby owl in a scarf, an owl with a lantern and a sleepy owl round out the woodland animals with five fluffy, big-eyed little birds, each dressed for the winter cold.

Check these watercolour bird templates if you enjoy drawing your own birds alongside printed stickers. The sleepy owl and the owl with a lantern both make gentle additions to a nighttime journal page.

Sweet Owls StickersDownload and Print

A chubby cardinal, a round robin, a chickadee in a hat, a bluebird on a mitten and a birdhouse with snow complete the animal sheets with five plump little birds, each puffed up round against the cold.

These suit a nature-themed planner header or a snowy card border equally well. Cut the birdhouse with snow out whole and use it as a small standalone label on a gift tag if you want one quiet, single-motif piece rather than a cluster.

Holiday Helpers

An elf with a hammer, an elf carrying a gift, an elf on a candy cane, an elf hat and a pair of curly elf shoes make a lively workshop-themed sheet, mixing full little elf characters with two small standalone accessory pieces.

The elf hat and the curly shoes work well as tiny corner decorations on a card rather than a full character, so save those two if you want something smaller and quieter than the rest of the set.

Santa’s Helpers StickersDownload and Print

A gift box with a face, a box with a big bow, a gift bag with a teddy peeking out, a round present and a stack of smiling boxes give you five cheerful wrapped parcels, each one round-cornered and glowing with its own little expression.

Pair this sheet with the Santa’s helpers stickers for a full workshop page in a journal, since both sheets share the same red and green palette. The stack of smiling boxes alone makes a sweet little sticker for sealing an envelope.

Happy Presents StickersDownload and Print

A chubby angel with a halo, an angel blowing a horn, an angel on a cloud, an angel holding a star and a sleeping angel bring a soft, quiet note to the set, each small angel round-faced with the same rosy cheeks as the rest of the characters.

These suit a card for a christening or a gentle holiday greeting better than the louder treat and elf sheets. The sleeping angel works especially well on a bedtime journal page alongside the teddy reading sticker from another sheet.

Pets and Playmates

A puppy in a stocking, a pug in antlers, a corgi with a bow, a dachshund in a scarf and a puppy with a bone wrapped in ribbon fill the sheet with five small round dogs, each dressed up for the holiday.

Print this one on sticker paper if you plan to use it across several cards for dog-loving friends and family, since peeling individual stickers off is far quicker than cutting and gluing each one by hand when you need several copies.

Christmas Puppies StickersDownload and Print

A kitten in a gift box, a kitten tangled in lights, a kitten under a tree, a kitten with a bauble and a kitten in a knit hat round out the pets with five mischievous round-faced kittens, each caught in a small bit of holiday trouble.

The kitten tangled in lights has several thin curved gaps around its paws and the string of lights, so a craft knife gives a cleaner result there than scissors. Pair this sheet with the puppies for a full pet page.

Kittens At Christmas StickersDownload and Print

A teddy in a gift, a toy soldier, a baby doll, a rocking horse with a bow and a toy drum capture the look of toys under the tree, each one round and bright with the same cheerful detail as the rest of the set.

These work well on a Christmas morning journal page dated for the day itself, or scattered through a planner week leading up to it. The rocking horse with a bow pairs nicely with the bear on a rocking horse from the teddies sheet.

Christmas Morning Cuties StickersDownload and Print

A fluffy pillow, a nightcap, a cookie plate for Santa, a glass of milk and a bedside lamp close out the set with five quiet bedtime objects, each one soft and round in the same gentle style as the characters before it.

Use this sheet to round off a Christmas Eve journal spread, setting the cookie plate and glass of milk beside a written note to Santa. It also works as the last page of a gift for a Christmas junk journal built across the whole season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What paper works best for these cute Christmas stickers?

Printable sticker paper gives a true peel-and-stick result, while plain paper and a glue stick work just as well if you cut and paste by hand. Matte sticker paper takes pen and marker touch-ups better than glossy stock.

What printer settings should I use?

Print at actual size rather than letting the printer scale the page, and choose the best or highest quality photo setting your printer offers. This keeps the thin grey outlines crisp instead of fuzzy.

How do I cut out the smaller or curved pieces cleanly?

A small craft knife on a cutting mat handles tight inner curves, like the gaps in tangled lights or a mouse’s tail, better than scissors. Turn the paper as you cut rather than twisting the blade.

Can I use these stickers on handmade cards and gift wrap?

Yes, every sheet is designed for cards, gift tags, journals and planner pages alike. Peel and press a sticker version straight onto wrapping paper, or glue a paper-cut version onto a folded card front.

Do the sheets work together as a matching set?

Yes, every sheet shares the same cranberry, pine and honey palette and the same round, rosy-cheeked style, so any combination sits together naturally. Group two or three sheets by sub-theme for a fuller page.
