Cute Santa, Reindeer, Nativity, Disney Christmas Coloring Pages

Anytime I need a quick indoor activity on cold days in December, I scour the web for kids Christmas coloring pages.

It’s a wholesome and nearly free Christmas-themed activity for young children during the holiday season. 

Sometimes I use holiday coloring pages as the basis for a Christmas lesson. Other times I just use them to distract my kids during the cranky hours of the day! LOL

Cute Christmas Coloring Pages for Kids

Below you will find links to a variety of Christmas coloring pages for kids. I’ve used some in the past and plan to use others this year.

I’ve included Christian-themed printables like Nativity scenes as well as Christmas tree, Santa Claus, Reindeer, and even Disney templates.

Kids Christmas Coloring Sheets – Christian, Nativity, Christmas Tree, Santa Claus, Reindeer

When I think of Christmas, I think of Jesus, Christmas trees, and Santa. My kids are old enough to understand that Christmas is a celebration of Jesus’ birth, but they also still believe in Santa Claus and love decorating Christmas trees, of course!

So depending on our mood for the day, I found some relevant Christmas coloring printables – just click on the coloring page you want! 

Christian Coloring Pages for Christmas – I love the variety of Christian coloring options on the Activity Village site. You can literally run through the entire story of Jesus’ birth with your kids with these coloring activities. It has everything from Mary & Joseph holding newborn baby Jesus to the visit from the shepherds.

Printable Nativity Scene – If you like more of a traditional nativity scene, here’s a cute kid-style one from the Centre for Excellence in Christian Education.

Christmas Tree Coloring Sheets – I like the 6 Christmas tree printables on the Coloring Castle website for their simplicity. I know my kids will like decorating the trees in different color schemes.

Santa Claus Printable – OnColoring has a HUGE selection of Santa Claus coloring pages to choose from! The kids will really love these.

Reindeer Coloring Pages – How could I forget reindeer?! Here are some super cute reindeer printables from AnimalPlace.net.

One of my favorite finds is a little-known graphics site, Lee Hansen. I like the printable Christmas templates on this site because they are usually clean & simple, without lots of tiny details, which is great for little hands to color.

• Candy canes in the shape of a heart
