Can you believe it? This Christmas coloring sheet marks SEVEN YEARS of Christmas reading charts.

Whether you use one of these beautiful calendars every year or it’s your first time, I hope you’ll love it!

This year’s Christmas coloring sheet it was designed by Pippi Post and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it turned out!

I love love love this Christmas coloring calendar sheet and I hope you will too!

(PS The previous six Christmas reading calendars are all still available for free – they’re all linked here!)

Christmas coloring sheet

Let me tell you a little about this Christmas coloring calendar.

• It’s absolutely free! You can download as many copies as you want for personal use (enter your email address at the bottom of this post and it will arrive directly in your inbox). You can pass them out to friends, give them as gifts, offer them to your library, or print one for all your grandchildren! As long as you don’t sell them, you can use them however you like! We designed it to be used and we WANT it to be printed and distributed as widely as possible!
• You can print it in the size you prefer! I have a personal preference for the 36×48 technical print which costs less than $8 to print (technician technical print instructions here). But it’s also really great in 24×36 or 18×24 format. You can even print it on a regular sheet of paper with your home printer!
• You can color it all at once or a little each day – there’s no wrong way! Hand over some crayons, pencils or markers and a copy of the Christmas coloring sheet and go to town – there’s so much lovely detail and it’s so much fun to colour. You can color it all at once at the beginning of the month or do a little each day as you read! You can also give each child their own copy or use one to share with the whole family.
• There is a reading activity every day from December 1st to December 24th. Of course the highlight of this Christmas coloring calendar is daily reading with your children. At the bottom of the calendar there is a suggested activity for each day. You can do them in any order you like and if you need suggestions for books to read, I have general lists and thematic lists here, so if you need suggestions for books about reindeer or books about nativity scenes or books about snowmen, I’ve got you covered!

Some fun ways to use the Christmas coloring sheet calendar

There is no right or wrong way to use the Christmas coloring sheet, but here are some ideas to get you started.

• Give it as a gift. If you add a new Christmas book to your collection every year, roll up a copy of the printable advent calendar and tie it on top! (this is also a perfect gift for your neighbor – it’s hypoallergenic!).
• Make a giant copy of the advent coloring calendar and let your children color it on a snowy day before December!
• Organize a coloring party! It’s not just for kids – adults can enjoy it too. Plus, it’s surprisingly relaxing. Turn on some Christmas music and enjoy your time together. You can create a large one to work on together or print smaller copies for each person. Bonus points if you pick up some new crayons or pencils.
• Use it as wrapping paper for a Christmas book. Or, once your family is done, use it to wrap the last few Christmas Eve presents – it’s not a waste and your child will love seeing their colors adorn a present under the tree on Christmas morning!
• Use it as a holiday decoration. This Christmas Advent coloring calendar for kids is so fun and festive that it makes for a beautiful holiday decor. Hang it somewhere where your whole family can see it and you’ll be reminded to make reading a wonderful part of your holiday season!
