50 Free Christmas Activity Sheets for Kids (Printable PDFs)
These free Christmas activity sheets are made for those December days when you want something festive, easy, and screen-free without having to plan a whole activity from scratch.
I ended up making 50 different printable Christmas activities for this collection, and there is a little bit of everything in here. There are Christmas word searches and puzzles, silly Santa challenges, drawing pages, Mrs. Claus activities, reindeer games, wish lists, and some really sweet Christmas memory pages that you can tuck away and look back on another year.
You definitely don’t need to print all 50 at once! Pick a few for a quiet afternoon, add your favorites to a Christmas activity folder, or print a stack for school, a Christmas party, a road trip, or those very long December afternoons when everyone is waiting for Christmas to hurry up and arrive.
Every page is free to print, and there is no sign-up needed.

Have a Very Merry Christmas!
I had far too much fun making this collection. What started as a few simple Christmas worksheets somehow turned into reindeer salons, tiny elf doors, Mrs. Claus’s cookie kitchen, Santa’s questionable holiday packing choices, and a whole stack of Christmas memories to keep.
I hope there is at least one page in here that becomes part of your December. Print one for this afternoon, save a few for Christmas Eve, or make yourself a giant Christmas activity pack and work through them all.
Most importantly, I hope they give you a few easy, happy moments together in the middle of all the Christmas craziness.
Merry Christmas and happy printing!
Free Christmas Activity Sheets FAQ
Everything you need to know before printing your Christmas activities.
How do I print the Christmas activity sheets?
Choose the Christmas activity you want and click Download Free PDF beneath its preview. Open the PDF and use your device’s print option. I recommend choosing Fit to page in your printer settings so the complete activity fits comfortably on the paper.
Are these Christmas activity sheets really free?
Yes! All 50 Christmas activity sheets on this page are free to download and print, and you do not need to sign up for an email list to access them.
What ages are these printable Christmas activities for?
The collection includes a mixture of activities, so there isn’t one set age. Younger children may especially enjoy the matching, drawing, decorating and I Spy pages, while confident readers and writers can tackle the word games, interviews, memory sheets and longer creative prompts. Grown-ups can always help with reading or writing where needed.
Can I use these Christmas worksheets in a classroom?
Yes. They’re great for Christmas classroom activities, early-finisher pages, quiet-time activities, class parties or the last few school days before Christmas break. Please keep the CraftyCiciJoy website credit on the printable.
Are the Christmas activity sheets in color?
No. The printables are designed in black and white so children can color and decorate them themselves, and you don’t need to use lots of colored printer ink.
Which Christmas printables are best if I only want a few?
For a nice little mixture, I would print the Christmas I Spy, Design a Christmas Bauble, Christmas Word Search, Mrs. Claus’s Christmas Kitchen, Reindeer Name Generator and My Christmas This Year. That gives you puzzles, drawing, imaginative play and a Christmas keepsake without printing the whole collection.
