German Christmas coloring pages

In our fun Christmas in Germany story, we meet Max. A little boy who loves Christmas.

As Christmas approaches, Max’s family lights candles on their advent wreath and prepares traditional German foods like stollen.

Two Christmas-themed coloring pages about German holiday traditions. The top page shows a hand-colored German flag with the text, “Merry Christmas” and a short story about a boy named Max who loved Christmas. The bottom page features a brightly colored Advent wreath with four candles and a description of how Max’s family lit one candle each Sunday leading up to Christmas. Decorative red and green bead garlands are placed beside the pages.

He looks forward to Saint Nicholas Day when he puts his shoes outside his bedroom door to receive treats.

Two Christmas-themed coloring pages depict traditions from Saint Nicholas Day in Germany. The top page shows a pair of blue-colored shoes with a story about Max putting them outside his door on December 5th, hoping Saint Nicholas would fill them with treats. The bottom page features an outlined image of Saint Nicholas with a staff, and text explaining how Max’s mother ensured his shoes were clean since Saint Nicholas only rewarded well-behaved children with tidy shoes. Blue and green beaded garlands are also arranged beside the pages.

St Nicholas Day is celebrated on December 6th, children leave clean shoes the night before and St Nicholas leaves small gifts in them.

The Legend of Saint Nicholas is a wonderful picture book that will make a lovely read-aloud.

The bottom page displays shoes overflowing with candy and gifts, illustrating Max’s excitement upon discovering his Saint Nicholas Day treats. Green beads, blue beads, and candy canes are arranged around the pages.

They also talk about Christkind, a beautiful angel who brings gifts to good children on Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Eve, Max opens his presents and has the best Christmas ever with his family, singing carols and feeling content.
