December Coloring Pages
Twenty free December coloring pages — the whole month, not just the twenty-fifth. There is a blank December calendar, a countdown house of twenty-five doors to number yourself, a letter to Father Christmas with the lines left empty, a menorah for Hanukkah, a kinara for Kwanzaa, the longest night of the year, a Christmas market stall and the midnight clock on New Year’s Eve.
Five of the pages are ones you finish yourself: the calendar, the countdown doors, the letter, the market sign and the gift tags all arrive blank.

Most free December coloring pages are Christmas pages with a different name on them — another tree, another Santa, another reindeer. We already have those, so this set went looking for what else is in the month. It found Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, the winter solstice on the twenty-first, the market stalls that appear in the first week, the countdown that runs the whole way through, and New Year’s Eve at the end of it. If a page here shows a Christmas tree it is because it is standing in a market or on a table, not because the set ran out of ideas.
All three winter holidays
A December activity packet in a classroom usually covers Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa together, and almost none of the free printables online do. There is a nine-branch menorah here with a dreidel and a plate of doughnuts beside it, and a seven-candle kinara standing on a woven mat with corn, a unity cup and a bowl of fruit. Both were drawn to be correct: nine candles on the menorah with the tall shammash in the middle, seven on the kinara, and six-pointed stars of David rather than the five-pointed kind that usually turn up.
Pages you finish yourself
The December calendar is a real five-by-seven grid — thirty-five empty boxes, which is what a thirty-one-day month needs — with nothing printed in them, so it works for any year. The countdown house has twenty-five blank doors to number and decorate, four of them already swung open on a candy cane, a star, a sweet and a little fir tree. The letter to Father Christmas has a dozen ruled lines and an empty heading panel. The market stall has a blank signboard, and the gift tags on the wrapping page are blank too.
Nothing is filled in black
Candles are the hard test in a December set, because a page full of flames is a page full of places to put solid ink. Every flame here — on the menorah, the kinara, the table garland and all ten patterned candles — is a hollow outlined teardrop with a white middle. The night pages are the other test: the solstice bonfire and the New Year fireworks both sit on plain white paper, because a printed black sky costs a cartridge and colours nothing.
For the youngest colourists
The five easy pages have very thick outlines and big open shapes — the poinsettia is one flower filling the sheet, and the string of lights is fifteen bulbs each the size of a plum. The nine middle pages have a scene to work through. The six detailed pages — the mandala, the ten patterned candles, the laid table, the New Year skyline, the holly-ivy-and-mistletoe spray and the Merry and Bright lettering — are for an adult and an evening.
The rest of the season
This set deliberately leaves Christmas Day itself to the pages that already cover it. For the tree, Santa, the nativity and the stockings see the Christmas coloring pages; for skating, sledding and snowy animals see the winter coloring pages; there are twenty snowman coloring pages and twelve candy cane coloring pages as well. The month before is here too: November coloring pages.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as your Christmas coloring pages?
No, and deliberately so. The Christmas set has the tree, Santa, the nativity, the stockings and the reindeer. This set covers the rest of December — Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the winter solstice, the countdown, a Christmas market and New Year’s Eve. There is no repeated page between them.
Which pages suit a toddler?
The big poinsettia, the string of Christmas lights and the Hello December lettering. All three have very thick outlines and only a handful of large shapes.
Can I use the calendar page for any year?
Yes. The grid is five rows of seven boxes — thirty-five in all, which is what a thirty-one-day month needs — and every box is printed empty. The child writes the dates in, so the same sheet works every December.
Why do the countdown doors have no numbers on them?
So the child can number them. There are twenty-five doors, one for each day from the first to the twenty-fifth, and four of them are already open. Numbering and decorating the rest is the activity.
Are the Hanukkah and Kwanzaa pages accurate?
They were drawn to be. The menorah has nine candles with the taller shammash in the centre, and the stars beside it are six-pointed. The kinara has seven candles for the seven principles, with the corn, the unity cup and the mat. Every candle is left as a plain outline rather than coloured in, so the child chooses the colours.
Which pages suit an adult?
The December mandala, the ten patterned candles, the laid table seen from above, the New Year’s Eve skyline, the holly, ivy and mistletoe spray and the Merry and Bright hand-lettering.
Can I print these for a classroom?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need for a class, a party or a church group. Please do not resell the files or host them elsewhere.
