30 Free Christmas Tree Coloring Pages for Kids

These free Christmas tree coloring pages are a fun way to bring a little decorating magic to the table. There are 30 designs to choose from, with star-topped trees, ribbon bows, cheerful ornaments, and a few unexpected Christmas visitors.

Some pictures feature familiar sayings such as “Merry Christmas,” “Deck the Halls,” and “Merry and Bright.” Others have no lettering, leaving children free to enjoy the picture or add a greeting of their own.

You’ll find a tree riding in a pickup truck, kittens playing with a ribbon, elves hanging decorations, and a little train traveling around the presents. There are also classic trees for children who simply want to choose their favorite ornament colors and start decorating.

Set out some crayons or colored pencils and let everyone pick a picture. A snowy white tree, a rainbow of baubles, or a bright blue bow can all belong in the same Christmas collection. The fun is seeing what each child decides to create.

Choose Your Free Christmas Tree Coloring Pages

Browse the collection below and select the linked picture name beneath any preview to open that design. Choose a favorite for a quiet afternoon, or print several different pictures for a family or classroom coloring table.

For the clearest print, use the PDF.

These pictures are free for personal and classroom use. Please share this collection page with other parents and teachers so they can browse and choose their own pictures.

Printing Your Christmas Tree Pictures

Select the picture name beneath the preview, save the file, and open it in your usual reader or browser. Choose portrait orientation and one page per sheet. Check the print preview before making several copies to be sure the whole picture fits.

If the edges would be clipped, use Fit to Printable Area. If you print on A4 paper, select A4 in your printer settings and check the fit before printing. Regular printer paper works well with crayons and colored pencils; heavier paper can be handy for a picture you plan to display, provided your printer supports it.

For markers, put a spare sheet beneath the picture to help protect your table. Keep a few extra pages nearby so children can try another color combination without having to finish their first picture in a hurry.

Creative Ways to Enjoy These Christmas Tree Coloring Pages

Design a Tree with Your Favorite Colors

Ask your child to choose two or three colors for the ornaments before they begin. They might pick traditional red and green, icy blue and purple, or a completely different combination that reminds them of their favorite toy or outfit.

The tree itself can be green, white, pink, or any color they imagine. Try coloring the same design twice with different palettes and placing the pictures side by side. It is a simple way to see how much a few color choices can change the feeling of a picture.

Create an Ornament Pattern

Choose one of the trees with several round baubles and make a repeating pattern. Children could alternate red and blue, repeat a group of three colors, or give all the star ornaments one color and all the hearts another.

Keep the pattern short enough that it stays enjoyable. Children who want an extra challenge can add their own stripes or dots inside a few ornaments. Others may prefer a different color for every decoration, which makes a lovely tree too.

Make a Christmas Tree Gallery

Let each family member choose a different picture, or print the same tree for everyone and compare the finished decorations. The two-tree “Happy Holidays” design is a fun option for children who want to give each tree its own style.

Display the pictures together on a wall, door, or classroom board. Ask each child to give their tree a name or tell you about one decoration they especially like. You might end up with a candy tree, a snowflake tree, and a rainbow tree all in the same little gallery.

Turn a Finished Picture into a Greeting

The pages with “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Holidays,” and “Season’s Greetings” are cheerful pictures to share with someone. Have your child choose the person first, then think about the colors or animals that person would enjoy.

Add a short message on the back or include a separate note. The picture-only pages work well for children who want to write their own words. A simple “I made this for you” beside their name can make the finished artwork feel personal.

Tell a Christmas Delivery Story

Where is the pickup truck taking its tree? Who is waiting for the snowman and his sled? Choose one of those pages and let your child invent the journey while they color.

They can decide who decorated the tree, what is inside the presents, and whether anyone takes a wrong turn along the way. For another delivery adventure, browse our Santa coloring pages. Children can choose a second picture and connect the two scenes into one story.

Plan a Sweet Decorating Afternoon

The candy tree and gingerbread ornament designs are fun companions for a holiday baking day. Children can decide whether a decoration would taste like peppermint, chocolate, or something entirely made up.

If they want to keep building their sweet Christmas world, add a picture from our gingerbread coloring pages. A cookie cottage and a candy-covered tree can become neighbors, with a paper path or garden drawn on another sheet.

Put Together a Holiday Activity Folder

Choose a few different pictures and tuck them into a folder with crayons for the Christmas break. A classic tree, an animal scene, and one page with a saying give children different choices without needing a big pile of supplies.

You can add snowy scenes from our winter coloring pages for activities that continue after Christmas. Let your child help choose the pictures so the folder feels like their own collection, ready whenever they want a quiet creative break.

Small Details Children Can Make Their Own

A blank bauble can become a striped ornament, a polka-dot decoration, or a tiny picture of something your child loves. Wide ribbons are another place to add patterns, while the presents can have different colors on the box, bow, and wrapping paper.

Children can also draw a few extra gifts, add names to the packages, or invent an ornament for the tree. There is no need to decorate every space. A few carefully chosen colors can be just as satisfying as a page filled from top to bottom.
