Christmas Advent Coloring Page

Christmas Advent Coloring Page Free Printable for Kids and Families

If you’re looking for a fun, simple, and festive way to count down the days until Christmas, this free Christmas Advent coloring page is the perfect holiday activity! I illustrated this page with 25 cute Christmas objects, one to color each day leading up to December 25th. Kids can enjoy coloring a candy cane, Christmas tree, gingerbread cookie, wreath, Santa hat, ornament, present, jingle bells, and so many more adorable holiday icons!

Fun Ways to Use This Christmas Advent Coloring Page

• Daily Christmas Countdown Activity: Color one object per day starting on December 1st. Turn it into a fun holiday tradition, hot cocoa optional but recommended!
• Christmas Coloring Challenge: Challenge kids (or yourself!) to try a new color palette each day. Try ideas like vintage Christmas colors, pastel Christmas, rainbow Christmas, or classic red and green.
• Classroom December Activity: Teachers can use this advent coloring page for morning work, early finisher activities, quiet time routines, or a bulletin board display!
• Build a Holiday Keepsake: Once the entire page is colored, trim and frame it as a sweet seasonal decoration or keepsake.
• Elf on the Shelf Pairing: Have the elf bring the coloring page on December 1st, with a note encouraging the countdown activity.
• Advent Calendar Alternative: Perfect for families who want a treat-free Advent calendar but still enjoy the daily excitement. Those chocolate advent calendars never seem to last the whole 25 days!
