Christmas cookies are fun to decorate even when there is no baking involved. These free Christmas cookies coloring pages let you add your own icing colors to gingerbread people, sugar-cookie snowflakes, Christmas trees, and all kinds of holiday treats.
The collection includes 20 printable pages, with a different design on each one. There are smiling cookie characters, plates of treats, a cookie jar, and a few Christmas baking scenes. Print a favorite for a quiet afternoon, keep a few ready for the holidays, or use the collection for a family coloring activity while the real cookies are in the oven.
Each coloring page has its own printable PDF, so you can choose exactly which ones you want.

What You’ll Find in This Christmas Cookie Collection
Gingerbread is a big part of the set, but the pages go beyond the familiar gingerbread man. You’ll also find cookies shaped like reindeer, Santa, snowmen, stockings, and little houses. Some have faces and icing buttons, while others use stars, bows, candy canes, or snowflake patterns.
The baking and gift-themed pages give you a change of scene. A cookie platter, a jar full of treats, and an open gift box all offer different things to color, and the decorating pages include familiar baking tools alongside the cookies. If you would rather color lots of shapes on one sheet, the mandala and cookie collection bring several Christmas designs together.
Christmas Cookie Coloring Ideas
For traditional gingerbread, try cinnamon brown or light tan with white icing. A few red buttons, a green bow tie, or pink cheeks can make the cookie characters look different without adding many colors. Sugar cookies work nicely with pale yellow or cream centers and bright icing around the edges.
Christmas trees can have green frosting with red, gold, or blue ornaments. Use red for Santa hats, light blue for snowflakes, and different shades of brown for cookie trays and baked treats. If you prefer softer colors, mint green, peach, lavender, and light pink make a sweet-looking set of decorated cookies.
You can also treat the pages like your own cookie-decorating plans. Try coloring the same gingerbread cookie twice, once with traditional Christmas colors and again with a completely different icing combination. It is a fun way to choose designs for real cookies you might bake later.
How to Print the Christmas Cookie Coloring Pages
All 20 designs are available as individual PDF downloads formatted for US Letter paper (8.5 x 11 inches). Open the page you want, choose Print, and check the preview before sending it to your printer. The thin border should stay visible on all four sides.
Regular printer paper works well for crayons and colored pencils. If you plan to use markers, slightly heavier paper is a better choice because ink can soak through thin sheets. Place a spare sheet underneath the coloring page to protect the table and any pages below it.
If the border looks too close to the edge in the print preview, select Fit to Printable Area or Fit to Page in your printer settings. On A4 paper, use the fit setting rather than forcing the page to print at its original size. You can save the PDFs and print your favorite designs again whenever you want to try new colors.
What to Use for Coloring
Crayons are handy for filling the larger cookie shapes, especially when several children are coloring together. Colored pencils give you a little more control around icing patterns, faces, and small decorations. Markers work well for strong reds and greens, but test them on a spare sheet first because some inks spread on regular printer paper.
If you have a white pencil or gel pen, it can be useful for adding icing details after the rest of the cookie is colored, particularly on brown gingerbread.
Fun Ways to Use These Printable Christmas Cookies
At home, set out crayons while cookies bake, then let everyone decide what icing colors they would use on a real gingerbread man or sugar cookie. A finished page can go on the fridge, become part of a holiday scrapbook, or be slipped into a handmade Christmas card.
For a Christmas party, put a few different pages and a cup of pencils at a coloring table so guests can choose their own designs. In a classroom, the pages can work as a seasonal art activity or a starting point for talking about shapes, patterns, and holiday baking traditions. You can also print extra copies of favorite pages so everyone gets to color the design they want.
Which Christmas Cookie Page Should You Start With?
If gingerbread is your favorite, begin with the smiling gingerbread man, the boy and girl, or the whole gingerbread family. The Santa, reindeer, and snowman cookies are good choices for familiar Christmas characters. For anyone who loves decorating real sugar cookies, try the Christmas trees, snowflakes, cookie platter, or cookie gift box.
The baking scenes and Santa’s cookie table suit a longer coloring session, especially if you enjoy choosing colors for the little objects around the cookies. You can always come back for another design later, and each page is available separately.
