Easy Christmas Drawings
61 free drawings in PDF, to color online or to copy by hand.
Christmas is the one subject everybody already knows by heart, which makes it a good place to start drawing: nobody needs to explain what a snowman looks like. The collection runs from a candy cane a three year old can finish to a standing reindeer with branching antlers for older children, and every page prints free.
Christmas drawings to print and color
These Christmas drawings cover the characters that come back every December, drawn simply enough to finish in one sitting. Each one prints free as a coloring page, works on screen if you would rather not print, and carries steps for copying it by hand.
For the youngest
The smiling candy cane is one shape and a repeated stripe, the snowman with a gift is two circles and a hat, and the Christmas gnome hides almost the whole face under the hat.
Santa and his reindeer
Santa with his sack stands head to boots and Santa with a present holds one tucked in one arm. The reindeer run from a round sitting one and a fawn lying down through one in a Santa hat to a standing stag with baubles in its antlers.
Three very different trees
The tree with a star is three scalloped tiers, the tree with baubles fills a wall, the smiling tree has arms and a face, and the detailed tree is drawn needle by needle.
The animals
The Christmas fox and the Christmas penguin bring texture, and the season reaches the rest of the site too: a cat and a dog in Santa hats, a unicorn beside a tree, Pikachu and Stitch.
Past the usual cast
The Christmas owl sits on a bare branch under a star, the Christmas llama wears a patterned blanket, and the Christmas dragon spreads two ribbed wings. The Christmas robin carries a berry sprig and the Christmas unicorn wears its santa hat behind a striped horn.
Not an animal in sight
The bell with holly hangs under a wide bow and the smiling bell is the same shape with a face. The snowflake is one arm repeated six times, the elf has curled shoes, the candle is two lines and a flame, and the angel spreads both wings and holds a star.
Print any of them free, no sign up needed. For another theme, the unicorn drawings are worth a look.
Common questions
Which Christmas drawing suits a three year old?
The smiling candy cane: one long shape, a stripe repeated at the same angle, and a face on its bow. Nothing on it overlaps, so no line can be crossed by mistake.
Is there an easy Christmas tree to draw, and a harder one?
Yes, several. The tree with a star is three scalloped tiers, the smiling tree adds a face and arms, the tree with baubles fills a wall, and the detailed tree is drawn needle by needle for older children.
Can these Christmas coloring pages be used as decorations?
Yes, and several are drawn for it. The bell, the snowflake and the tree with baubles cut out cleanly. Print them on thicker paper and they hang on a tree or a window.
Are there Christmas drawings beyond the usual characters?
Yes. Favourites from the rest of the site turn up in Santa hats: a cat, a dog, Pikachu, Stitch and a unicorn beside a tree.
