December is prime coloring season. The evenings are long, the house smells like pine, and a small stack of printed pages turns a busy month into a few quiet rituals. To celebrate, I've pulled together nine free Christmas pages from three of my Christmas coloring books — the real line art from the books, free to download and print as many times as you like for personal and classroom use. No sign-up, no email, no watermarks.

Christmas Mandalas — detailed pages for grown-ups
Christmas Mandalas is my book of 50 holiday mandalas for adults and teens: ornaments and pine branches, Christmas bells, and snowmen in top hats, all drawn as detailed circular designs that reward a slow evening with colored pencils or fine-tip markers. These three are yours:
Gothic Christmas — the same holiday, with shadows
Gothic Christmas is 50 dark, elegant scenes for adults who like their December a little moodier: a snow-covered cathedral, wreaths on old wooden doors, and a gift box built like a tiny cathedral, all in fine Victorian detail. Beautiful in jewel tones, metallics, or plain graphite.
Kawaii Christmas — cute pages for kids
Kawaii Christmas is 50 sweet, bold pages drawn for younger colorers: a waving Santa, a snowman with a mug of hot cocoa, and a smiling cocoa cup with a candy cane. Big shapes and thick lines mean crayons and chunky markers work beautifully, and nobody has to stay inside tiny details.
How to print them well
A few small settings make a big difference — there's a fuller walkthrough in my guide to printing coloring pages, but the short version:
- Paper: regular printer paper works for crayons and colored pencils. For markers, use cardstock or put a scrap sheet behind the page to stop bleed-through.
- Settings: print at 100% scale (not "fit to page") in the highest quality mode your printer offers, so the black lines come out crisp.
- One-sided: the PDF is laid out one design per page, just like the books — frame the finished ones without anything showing through.
Fun ways to use them
Fold a finished page in half and write inside it — a hand-colored Christmas card beats anything from a store rack. Put a stack of the kawaii pages and a box of crayons on the kids' table during Christmas dinner and they double as a take-home favor. Teachers: the pages work as December morning work and early-finisher calm during the last week before break — classroom use is welcome. And if you start early, print the mandalas as a mini countdown: one page a day through the nine days before Christmas, then tape the finished set along a hallway or mantel.
