Printable Christmas word search for kids

Our holiday word search has become a go-to holiday activity.

Every year, we print out copies, put on some holiday music, and turn it into a friendly race.

It’s simple: each person gets a sheet, and the first to finish finds a small treat waiting, a chocolate coin or a candy cane usually does the trick.

Word search printables are perfect for adding a little break in the holiday bustle. Kids enjoy the challenge, and it’s a fun way to build vocabulary without even noticing.

Whether you’re using it in the classroom, at a holiday gathering, or just around the house on a chilly afternoon, it’s a small activity that adds a cozy, festive touch.
