Santa Coloring Pages (39 Free PDF Printables)

By /

Is there anything more iconic than Santa Claus during the holiday season? Our amazing Santa coloring pages are packed with the big guy himself doing what he does best – spreading Christmas cheer, checking his list twice, and somehow fitting down chimneys despite that cookie habit we all enable.

These free printable Santa coloring pages feature everything from classic Santa in his sleigh to jolly St. Nick reading letters, feeding reindeer, and delivering presents to good girls and boys everywhere. Whether the kids in your life prefer traditional Santa with his fluffy white beard or a more cartoonish version that makes them giggle, our Santa printables have enough variety to keep the Christmas spirit alive all December long (and let’s be honest, probably into January too because nobody wants to take down decorations).

Three black-and-white Christmas coloring pages feature Santa Claus: riding a sleigh with presents, holding a candy cane and winking, and surfing by a sandcastle. Background shows a decorated Christmas tree, ornaments, and the SundayBanana.com logo at the bottom.

These printable Santa coloring sheets are perfect for keeping little ones busy during those chaotic weeks leading up to Christmas when excitement levels are at an all-time high and patience is wearing dangerously thin. The best part? While kids are coloring Santa’s suit red and his belt black, they’re actually practicing fine motor skills, color recognition, and focus – all while staying blissfully entertained.

Our Christmas coloring pages work great for classroom parties, rainy December afternoons, waiting rooms during holiday errands, or those moments when you need everyone to sit still for just five peaceful minutes. Print out a stack of these festive Santa coloring pages, grab some crayons, and watch the magic happen!
