Few things feel quite as magical at Christmastime as decorating the Christmas tree. Twinkling lights, colorful ornaments, shiny garlands, and a beautiful star on top can instantly make the house feel ready for the holidays.
This Christmas Tree Coloring Page lets kids create a Christmas tree entirely their own way. The cheerful hand-drawn design features a classic evergreen filled with round ornaments, strings of festive lights, and a large star crowning the top.
Grab the crayons, colored pencils, or markers and start decorating!
🎄 A Classic Christmas Tree to Color
The tree is filled with plenty of simple details for young artists to enjoy.
Children can color:
- The evergreen branches
- Round Christmas ornaments
- Strings of lights and garland
- The large star tree topper
- All the little decorative details throughout the tree
The relatively large spaces make this a fun choice for younger children, while older kids can add extra patterns, shading, and their own background decorations.

🖍️ Christmas Tree Coloring Ideas
There is certainly no rule saying a Christmas tree has to be green with red ornaments!
Try a traditional Christmas palette with:
- Evergreen green branches
- Red and gold ornaments
- Warm yellow Christmas lights
- A sparkling golden star
Or create something completely different.
How about a snowy tree with pale blue and silver decorations? A candy-themed tree covered in pink, red, and white? A rainbow tree with every ornament a different color?
Kids can even give every light bulb and Christmas ball its own unique shade.
🌈 Create Your Own Christmas Tree Theme
Before coloring, choose a theme for your tree.
A few fun ideas include:
Classic Christmas: Red, green, gold, and white.
Winter Wonderland: White, silver, icy blue, and lavender.
Candy Christmas: Pink, peppermint red, white, and mint green.
Rainbow Christmas: Use every color in the crayon box.
North Pole Tree: Bright red, green, white, and plenty of magical gold.
Pastel Christmas: Soft pink, mint, lavender, peach, and pale blue.
Kids can also take inspiration from real Christmas decorating ideas in our Christmas Trees collection.
✨ Add Your Own Christmas Details
The fun doesn’t have to stop with coloring the picture.
Encourage children to turn the page into an entire Christmas scene by drawing extra details around their tree.
They could add:
- Wrapped presents beneath the branches
- Candy canes
- Snowflakes
- A fireplace
- Christmas stockings
- Santa’s gift sack
- A teddy bear
- A toy train
- Gingerbread people
- A snowy window
- A curious Christmas kitten
- Santa or one of his reindeer
Every child can end up with a completely different Christmas picture.
🎁 Draw Presents Under the Tree
One especially fun addition is a pile of Christmas presents beneath the tree.
Draw squares and rectangles in different sizes, then decorate each gift with bows, ribbons, stripes, polka dots, candy-cane patterns, stars, or snowflakes.
Children could even write the names of family members on the gift tags.
Suddenly, a simple coloring page becomes a personalized Christmas scene.
✂️ Turn the Finished Picture Into a Christmas Craft
Once the Christmas tree is beautifully colored, don’t simply put it away.
The finished page can become part of your holiday decorations.
Try:
- Hanging it on the refrigerator
- Adding it to a Christmas artwork wall
- Displaying it in a child’s bedroom
- Giving it to grandparents
- Adding it to a holiday scrapbook
- Using it as part of a homemade Christmas card
- Displaying it at a classroom Christmas party
- Saving it as a keepsake with the child’s name and year written on the back
You could also print several different Christmas pictures and staple them together to create a homemade holiday coloring book.

You can even display everyone’s finished pictures together as a homemade Christmas gallery.

Now it’s time to decorate!
Will your Christmas tree be traditional red, green, and gold? Covered in rainbow ornaments? Filled with icy blue decorations? Or transformed into a magical candy-colored tree unlike anything the North Pole has ever seen?
There is no wrong answer.
