On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me…12 Christmas coloring pages to print. Who wants to deal with 184 birds?
Okay, we know we aren’t your true love, but the festive season is upon us once again, and we’ve caught the holiday spirit. Whether you decorate as soon as the calendar strikes November or you prefer to keep your hall decking to a minimum, it’s impossible to ignore the annual onslaught of garlands, gift wrap, and glittery ornaments.
Christmas coloring pages are a marvelous, low pressure way for kids and adults—including holiday holdouts—to embrace the festive season. It’s a fun family activity you can do with your kids, and it can also help you release some of that holiday stress without taking you out of the festive spirit (no kids required).
So without further ado, we’re welcoming the holidays with 12 days of our favorite Christmas coloring pages to print. We’ve compiled a dozen Christmas coloring pages for kids and adults, from simple pages for younger kids to intricate and detailed Christmas coloring pages for adults.
