Download 9 free printable Christmas word searches for kids and adults,
including easy and hard puzzles. PDF downloads include answer keys.
The Christmas season is upon us. It’s a time for Santa, stockings by the fireplace, Christmas lights, sweet treats, and everything peppermint.
To celebrate the season, I created some word searches.
There are some easy Christmas word searches for the kids. They include a Christmas tree-shaped puzzle, a candy cane-shaped puzzle, and a Santa-themed one, among others.
There are also some harder Christmas word searches for adults or for older kids. These are all in the traditional square grid- but with more letters, harder words, and with words running in more directions. Themes include the 12 Days of Christmas, Christmas carols, and more.
If you’re looking for another fun activity for the kids, check out the Free Printable Christmas Treasure Hunt. And to see what other free printables are available for the holiday, visit the Free Christmas Printables page.

Instructions for Downloading & Printing
• Print options: regular paper works perfectly fine.
• All of the files are in pdf below. Just hit the “download” button (or pink word “download,” depending upon browser). The file for each word search is either next to or below the image for that word search. (The file name will specifically include the word search name: example “Candy Cane Word Search” will have “candy cane” in file name.)
• The default size of these is a full-page for each word search. However, if you want smaller, simply reduce the print size.
• If you’re wondering if these Christmas word searches come with answer keys, the answer is yes! Each PDF includes a matching answer key on page 2, making them perfect for teachers, parents, and homeschool use. (Just don’t let the kids see the answers! haha).
