Free Christmas Coloring Pages for Kids (Printable)

Every picture in the set is drawn in the same kid-friendly style: bold black outlines, big simple shapes, and cheerful Christmas characters. Here are all eight Christmas coloring pages:

• 1

  Santa with His Toy Sack

  Santa waving hello with a sack of toys over his shoulder — the star page of the set, with a big coat, belt, and beard that are fun to fill with classic red and white.

• 2

  Christmas Tree and Presents

  A decorated tree topped with a star, with wrapped presents underneath. Big open shapes make this one of the easiest pages for the youngest colorists.

• 3

  Reindeer with a Bell Collar

  A friendly reindeer wearing a collar with a bell. A lovely page for talking about Santa's helpers — and for practicing browns and a shiny gold bell.

• 4

  Snowman with a Top Hat

  A smiling snowman with a carrot nose, a cozy scarf, and a tall top hat. Simple lines, endless scarf-color possibilities.

• 5

  Gingerbread House

  A gingerbread house with icing details and candy trims — the most detailed page in the set, great for older kids who love filling in small spaces.

• 6

  Stockings on the Mantel

  Three stockings hanging on a mantel decorated with garland. A natural page for writing a name on each stocking before coloring.

• 7

  Ornaments on a Pine Branch

  Patterned ornament baubles hanging on a pine branch — stripes, dots, and swirls that look beautiful in metallic crayons or gel pens.

• 8

  Candy Canes and Gifts

  Candy canes tied with a bow next to gift boxes. Quick to color, and a perfect homemade card front when it is finished.

All eight pages are completely free — no account, no sign-up, no watermark. Just open, print, and color.

Here is the whole set at a glance. Open any picture on the kids page to print it full-size, or to play it as a drawing animation.

The coloring pages live in the kids section of TimelapsePhoto.art, where Christmas is the second category, right after Thanksgiving. Printing takes less than a minute:

1. 1. Open the kids page and tap the Christmas category to see all eight outline pictures.
2. 2. Open the picture you want, then use your browser's print option (or save the image first and print it). The high-contrast black-and-white outlines print cleanly on standard letter or A4 paper — one page uses very little ink.
3. 3. Color away. Crayons, markers, and colored pencils all work well on the bold outlines. Print a few spares — the Santa page always gets claimed twice.

December hands parents and teachers a gift: children who are counting the days and buzzing with excitement, and long stretches — school breaks, travel days, the wait for guests — that need a calm, happy activity. A small stack of printed pages and a cup of crayons turns that waiting into the coziest part of the season, and it costs nothing but paper and a little ink.

Finished pages pull double duty, too. A colored Santa becomes a card for grandparents, the stockings page becomes a place card with a name written across the top, and the ornaments page looks lovely taped to a window or fridge. And like all coloring, staying inside bold outlines builds the fine motor control and focus that young children need for handwriting — practice that feels like pure holiday fun.

Here is the part kids love most: every picture in the Christmas set can draw itself. Open a picture on the kids page and play it as an animated drawing video that shows the picture appearing stroke by stroke — a little moment of magic before the coloring even starts, and a fun way for kids to see where each line goes.

A finished coloring page can become a video, too. Photograph or scan the colored page, upload it on the kids page, and the site animates it into a sketch video — free, with no sign-up. It is a lovely way to share a child's Christmas art with family far away. The same animation works for any drawing: photos and sketches can be turned into drawing reveal videos, or into a brand-new printable page with our photo to coloring page converter.

Holiday card factory: print the candy canes page on card stock, color it, and fold — a homemade Christmas card grandparents genuinely keep.

Names on the stockings: the mantel page has three stockings — write a family member's name on each one before coloring, then hang the finished page where the real stockings go.

A note for teachers: the whole Christmas set can play as one continuous drawing show on your classroom screen — pages that draw themselves, one after another, with your school logo in the corner and a loop option for parties, quiet time, and the last day before break. It is free on our For Teachers & Schools page, and you can even save the show as one video for a substitute-teacher day.

A quiet moment for you: the gingerbread house and patterned ornaments keep older kids (and more than a few adults) absorbed with their small icing and bauble details.

Christmas is one shelf of a growing library. The kids page has 60 pictures in all, including Thanksgiving, Halloween, Sea Animals, Animals, Dinosaurs, and Space Explorers sections — all free outline pictures with the same print-and-animate options. Still in the fall spirit? Our guide to free Thanksgiving coloring pages has eight harvest pictures in the same style, and the companion guide to our free Halloween coloring pages has eight friendly-spooky ones.

Tip: bold, high-contrast outlines animate best. The Christmas set was drawn for exactly this — simple shapes that look magical in a drawing timelapse.
