What are Christmas colors?
The classic Christmas colors are red, green, white and gold. Red and green match holly berries and evergreen trees, white matches snow, and gold matches stars and ornaments. Using these four on a Christmas coloring page makes it look festive, and silver, blue or purple work well too.
Free printable Christmas coloring pages
All 80 Christmas designs on this page are free to print for home and classroom use. Press Download, pick US Letter or A4 and print as many copies as you need. The bookmarks come four to a sheet with cut marks, and the full pages hold one design each.
Cute Christmas coloring pages
Animals in winter clothes make many of these designs cute. A polar bear wears a scarf, a penguin stands with a snowman, a mouse sits on the presents and a puppy warms up by the fire. Each one has bold outlines and a friendly face.
Easy Christmas coloring pages
Single objects are the easiest Christmas designs to color. Try the hot cocoa mug, the three jingle bells, the candy cane with a bow or the smiling gingerbread man. Each one has big shapes and bold outlines, so younger kids can finish a page on their own.
Christmas decorations coloring pages
Decorations get their own designs here. Color ornaments on long ribbons, a string of lights, a holly wreath with bells, a big holiday wreath or a cluster of ornaments. They also make good practice for holiday colors like red, green and gold.

Every design downloads as a PDF that prints the same on any home printer. When you press Download, you pick US Letter or A4, and for the bookmarks you can add a reading log on the back. Print at 100% so the bookmarks stay 2 by 7 inches.
Coloring pages of Christmas stockings
A big stuffed stocking fills one tall bookmark, and a full page shows four stuffed stockings. Stockings are a fun shape to decorate with stripes, snowflakes or a name across the top. Hang a colored one on the tree or tuck it into a holiday book.
Questions
How to get free coloring pages?

Can I print my own bookmarks?

Where can I print a bookmark for free?
Every Christmas coloring bookmark on this page is a free PDF you can print at home. Press Download, pick US Letter or A4, and choose whether you want a reading log on the back. Print as many sheets as your class or family needs.
What is cardstock paper?
Cardstock is a thick, stiff paper that sits between normal printer paper and thin card. For these Christmas bookmarks, a 65 lb cover stock of about 176 gsm is a good choice because most home printers can feed it. A stiff bookmark bends less and lasts longer in a book.
