You’re hearing Christmas music on the radio, home windows are starting to twinkle in the dark, and Christmas is so close you can almost taste it—just that tiny hint of cinnamon and clove on the tip of your tongue. Christmas is one of the most magical times of the year, and printable Christmas activities provide an easy, low-cost way to keep everyone entertained and the holiday spirit going.
You can use these activities for family parties, classroom entertainment, or even to create your Christmas Eve traditions. There are infinite ways to use printables at Christmas time.
So What Is A Printable?
A printable is a digital download file that you can save to your computer and print out yourself. The file may include things like seasonal designs, craft templates, worksheets, reward charts, countdowns, or festive coloring sheets. Before you were able to download a digital file like this, you would have had to physically purchase these resources, either as physical media, like a DVD or CD, or hard copies of the items you wanted.
Printables make your life so much easier as you can download them to your computer instantly. Printables save you valuable time and allow you to print only the exact amount you need. The downloaded file is yours to keep, so there is no need to purchase printables again and again.
Why Use Printables for the Holidays?
Printable Christmas activities are an easy way to entertain your friends, family members, or students. At a time of year when you usually socialize more than usual, printables can relieve the worry about how to keep everyone engaged. They can allow you to enjoy time together with fulfilling, wholesome activities.
Industry experts design our printables, so you can trust that you will get a high-quality product each time. It won’t matter how uncreative you are, how busy your days are, or how computer-challenged you may be. Freebie Finding Mom can deliver what you need in seconds.
What Sort of Printable Christmas Activities Are Available?
Every family celebrates the holidays in a different way, so we have gathered together a wide range of activities so everyone has something they will love. In addition to Christmas coloring sheets (which come as a handy printable PDF), there are printable Christmas games that will keep youth from toddlers to teens entertained.
There is even a printable Christmas wishlist template for your little ones to use when writing a heartfelt letter to a particular gentleman at the North Pole.
Christmas Coloring Pages
There are so many printable Christmas coloring pages to choose from to fill everyone with holiday cheer. We have designs with Christmas trees, Santa, snowflakes, angels, and more. The coloring pages work great to entertain your kids at home, but you could also use them to create a crafting station at a Christmas party or as a group activity if you work or volunteer with young people.
Coloring is also an excellent way for adults to relax and unwind. With a printable, you do not have to be a budding artist to enjoy the calm of coloring. You can simply relax with your favorite friends and have a sip-and-color evening with Christmas printables. Enjoy a holiday beverage and Christmas music in the background.
Our coloring printables go from simple, thick-edged outlines to more complicated, detailed, festive scenes. There is something for everyone of every ability. You don’t just have to color with crayons or colored pencils either. You could paint your printable page or even get craftier by cutting and attaching crepe or wrapping paper to create a Christmas collage.
Christmas Trivia Quizzes
Do you know the names of Santa’s reindeer? Or how to say “Merry Christmas” in Spanish? What about where eggnog comes from? Don’t worry; our printable Christmas trivia quizzes have you covered—and they even come with the answers.
The trivia quizzes are available in a family-friendly kids’ version and a more complicated adult version. Quizzes are great team activities for all ages and are fun for building trust and practicing problem-solving skills.
Printable Christmas Games
One of the best things about Christmas is getting everyone together and playing games. You might have some family favorites you return to year after year, but to stave off boredom, you may want to change them up with something new each year.
Having to come up with new activities each year could add one more expense at an already expensive time of year, but printable Christmas games are a great way to introduce new variations to please everyone without breaking the bank. They do not take up space like a traditional board game, and you can easily alter them and reprint if your number of guests changes unexpectedly.
You could play a round or two of festive bingo, where instead of saying numbers, the bingo master calls out Christmas illustrations. There are also quieter printable Christmas games, like a Christmas word search or crossword puzzle. They’re a perfect match for the chill-out time after Christmas dinner.
These printable Christmas games may also be useful to you if you are an educator. Christmas Bingo or a Scavenger Hunt can involve your whole class as a light-hearted way to wrap things up before Christmas break. Or you could use festive shape printables to help with pattern making or scaling shapes up or down.
Are There Printable Christmas Decorations?
Getting a hold of seasonal decorations can be a time-consuming chore. You might have to visit multiple stores to find what you are looking for or buy online with no guarantee you will be happy with the quality of what arrives. You can use printable Christmas decorations in a range of ways around your home and give a personalized flair to your decorating without spending a fortune.
Christmas Ornaments
Printable Christmas ornaments are lovely for kids’ tree decorations, window adornments, or table place cards. We’ve got loads to choose from: angels, baubles, and festive shapes like Christmas trees or gingerbread people.
There are also printable bunting patterns available. You could print these on colored card stock to match your Christmas theme and then thread onto string or ribbon to create a Christmas decoration you can use in your home year after year.
Greetings Cards
A homemade greeting card makes a heartwarming personalized touch, but it can be labor-intensive and take much of your precious time. A printable makes it so much easier for you to create unique Christmas cards without spending time or money. You can download a PDF card pattern or decorate your Christmas coloring printable and stick it to store-bought card kits to create unique cards.
Gift Tags
Gift tags are a tiny but essential part of gift-giving, but they can magically disappear in your Christmas supply box from year to year. You can always buy new ones, but they tend to get snapped up quickly at the stores. You might even decide to give up on them and write on the gift with a marker, but that ruins the aesthetic of your otherwise beautifully wrapped present!
We have a range of printable gift tag designs, and you can find one that matches your wrapping. If you have a lot of gifts to give, you could even use one tag design per person to make everyone’s gifts easier to spot. All you need is a paper punch and some ribbon or string, and you can create as many gift tags as you need. You won’t have to worry about last year’s tags getting lost in the supply box again, and you can skip making last-minute store runs for gift tags.
Printable Christmas tags work for more than just wrapped presents. If you are a whiz at syrups or jams, a printable label is perfect for you. You can download Christmas-themed labels and either add the product details digitally before you print them out or add them later by hand. You can print your labels on adhesive paper and stick them right to the jar.
Printable bottle labels are also available for gifting beverages or oversized liquid products like bath foam. A festive label will elevate your gift and add that personalized touch to make it memorable for the recipient.
