Christmas color by number for adults
Detailed Christmas color by number pages for adults and teens: a poinsettia mandala and a set of filigree Christmas ornaments, each with 7 colors and many more numbered areas than the kids pages. The colors follow a mosaic-style scheme, and the finest filigree lines are left unnumbered so you can add your own shading. Use colored pencils or fine-tip markers and allow an hour or two per page.
How to do a Christmas color by number page
- Print the page at 100% scale on A4 or US Letter paper, or open it online.
- Read the color key at the bottom: each number has a color name and an empty box. Color the box first so you remember the match.
- Start with the biggest areas (usually the background, the tree or the bells), then do the small ones.
- Check each number as you go. Crayons are best for little hands; markers and colored pencils suit older kids.
- Online: tap a color in the numbered palette, then tap the area with the same number. Use Hint if you get stuck.
Why color by number works for Christmas
Color by number turns coloring into a small puzzle. Kids practice number recognition, matching and careful hand control, and they finish with a bright tree, star or ornament they can hang up or give as a card. It keeps little ones busy during the long wait for Christmas morning. For a no-rules version, try the plain Christmas coloring pages or the Christmas printable activities.
Printing tips
- Choose A4 outside North America and US Letter in the US and Canada.

Christmas color by number FAQ
What is Christmas color by number?
Every area of a Christmas picture, such as a Christmas tree, a gingerbread man or jingle bells, has a number, and a color key tells you which color goes with each number. Color area 1 with color 1, area 2 with color 2, and so on until the picture is finished.
Are these Christmas color by number pages free?
Yes. All 9 pages are free for home and classroom use as PDFs in A4 and US Letter, and you can color them online with no signup. See the license page for details.
What ages are they for?
They suit ages 3 to 8 and beginners of any age. Pages have between 7 and 20 numbered areas and 4 to 7 colors, so the Santa hat and the toddler tree work for preschoolers and the snow globe and jingle bells suit early elementary kids.
Are they good for a Christmas classroom activity?
Yes. They print well in black and white, need only a few crayons, and practice number recognition and following directions during the week before Christmas.
Can I color them on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Open any page, pick a color from the numbered palette, then tap the matching numbered area to fill it. Progress is saved on your device, and you can download the finished picture as a PNG.
Is there a Christmas color by number for adults?
Yes. The adults section has 2 detailed pages, a poinsettia mandala and filigree Christmas ornaments, with 111 and 58 numbered areas and 7 colors each. The colors are a mosaic-style scheme rather than realistic colors, and the finest filigree lines are left unnumbered so you can shade them freely.
Is there a Christmas stocking color by number?
Yes. The Christmas stocking has a fluffy cuff, a star and red and green stripes with big numbered areas and 4 colors, so it suits preschool and kindergarten.
What if a small area has no number?
Tiny spots such as eye highlights, small leaves and thin stripes are left unnumbered so every digit stays easy to read. Color them any way you like.
