Christmas Tree Coloring Page Themes

The Christmas Tree coloring pages cover a wide range of holiday themes. Here are some popular design ideas to try:

• Santa and Gifts: Scenes featuring Santa Claus, elves, decorated Christmas trees, and stacks of wrapped presents under the tree.
  
  
• Snowy Winter Scenes: Trees surrounded by friendly snowmen, sparkling snowflakes, reindeer or penguins, and cozy winter landscapes.
  
  
• Gingerbread and Sweets: Trees decorated with gingerbread men, candy canes, cookies, candy, and other sweet holiday treats.
  
  
• Cute Animals (Kawaii): Adorable cartoon-style trees with playful kittens, puppies, teddy bears, or other cute animals joining the Christmas fun.
  
  
• Ornaments and Decorations: Trees filled with stars, baubles, lights, tinsel, and other festive decorations for a classic holiday look.
  
  
• Mandalas and Patterns: Detailed, mandala-style tree designs or patterned drawings for older kids and adults who enjoy intricate coloring art.
  
  
• Simple Tree Templates: Basic outline trees and cut-out templates for toddlers and young children. These let little ones color easily and even decorate their own tree shapes.
  
  
• Family and Festive Scenes: Cozy illustrations of families or friends decorating a Christmas tree together, often with a fireplace, stockings, or a snowy village in the background.
  
  
• Cartoon Characters and Stories: Fun scenes inspired by Christmas tales and cartoons, such as a grinning Grinch sneaking around a tree or children building a snowman by the lit-up tree.
  
  

With so many themes, there’s a design for every interest and age. For example, some kids love coloring Santa’s jolly face and bright red coat, while others prefer drawing the delicate patterns of a Christmas mandala. Your child might color a series of pages to create a little holiday story, mixing different elements from multiple pages.

How to Download and Print Christmas Tree Coloring Pages

Getting your Christmas Tree coloring pages is easy. Simply click on any coloring page thumbnail or link to open the full-size PDF. The PDF will load in a new browser tab or window. From there, you can save the file to your computer or print it directly from the browser. Because these are high-resolution PDFs, the images print sharply and clearly every time.

When printing, select “Fit to Page” or ensure the scaling is set to 100% so the coloring image fills the sheet of paper (8.5 x 11 inches for US Letter or 210 x 297 mm for A4). For best results, use bright white printer paper and set your printer to normal or high quality. The outlines are drawn with bold lines, so they will print well even if the printer is not on its highest setting. After printing, let the ink dry if necessary before coloring.

You can color the pages with crayons, colored pencils, markers, or even watercolor paints (for thicker paper). Some kids enjoy cutting out the finished pictures to make holiday cards, ornaments, or scrapbook decorations. Others add a touch of crafting by gluing sparkly glitter or pieces of cotton (for “snow”) onto the tree. Feel free to get creative! Since the pages are free, you can experiment without worry – for example, try printing a page on colored paper or using stickers to decorate.

If you prefer digital tools, you could also open the PDF in a drawing or coloring app on a tablet or computer. But even without any special software, the printed pages work great. Because the files are standard PDFs, they will open on any device – Windows, Mac, Chromebook or tablet – and keep their quality. You can also email a PDF to a friend or family member so they can print and color the same page.

Christmas Tree Coloring Activities and Crafts

Coloring these Christmas Tree pages is not only fun; it’s also a great holiday activity for family and classroom settings. Teachers and parents often use the coloring sheets as part of holiday lessons or crafts. For example, children can practice counting by counting ornaments, stars, or candy canes in the picture. They can learn color names by choosing which color to use for each decoration. Simply coloring the page helps younger children with hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.

To extend the activity, turn a coloring page into a mini craft project. After a child finishes coloring a tree, have them cut it out and glue it onto construction paper to create a festive greeting card. They could add cotton balls for snow or stickers for extra decoration. Older kids might write a short holiday story about the scene they colored or design their own ornaments on blank template pages.

Coloring can also be a cozy group activity. On a snowy afternoon, siblings or classmates can sit around a table with crayons spread out and color pages while listening to holiday music or a story. Some families make it a tradition to color together while sipping hot cocoa. In a classroom, each student could color a different ornament, and the teacher arranges them into a big classroom Christmas tree. These activities keep kids engaged and excited about the season.

Even on its own, coloring is a relaxing solo activity. Many kids enjoy sitting quietly by a window or at a kitchen table, coloring and letting their imaginations run wild. It’s a screen-free way to focus and be creative. By the time the page is colored, they’ve practiced fine motor skills and have a personalized piece of holiday art to show off.

Printable PDF Format and Tips

All of our Christmas Tree coloring pages are provided in printable PDF format. This means they preserve the image quality perfectly, whether you open them on a phone, computer, or tablet. When you print a PDF coloring page, you always get a clean, sharp outline. They are designed for home printers, so they are in a standard portrait layout and fit on a single page.

If you want to create a larger poster, you can adjust your print settings. For example, you could choose to print the PDF on multiple sheets of paper (such as a 2×2 grid) to make a poster-size tree. After printing the pages, just trim and tape them together to display. This is great for making a big classroom decoration or a party banner.

These PDFs are also great for digital use. You can save them on your computer or tablet and color them using digital art software or coloring apps. This can be fun for older kids who enjoy coloring on a screen. But even without any special tools, the PDF files themselves are very useful. You can email them or share them with friends so others can print and color the same designs.

One tip: Since the pages are line art only, you can experiment with different papers. Regular printer paper works well for crayons and pencils. If you want to use markers or paint, try printing on a heavier paper or cardstock to prevent wrinkling. On most home printers, however, regular white paper gives excellent results and the black outlines come out vividly.

Because these coloring pages use only black ink for the outlines, they are very printer-friendly and economical. You don’t have to worry about using up color ink to print them. This makes it easy to print multiple copies for a whole class or large party. It also means you can print them quickly without long wait times for full-color images.

A: It’s easy. Simply click on any page thumbnail or link to open the full-size PDF. Once it opens in your browser, choose the print option or save the PDF to your computer. The pages are formatted for US Letter and A4 paper, so they will print perfectly on any home or office printer.
