Ho, ho, ho! Are your kids getting excited about Christmas yet? This is such an exciting time of year for children and it is so much fun to see the joy in their faces. Waiting for Christmas to arrive can be very difficult for children and a fun puzzle or word search can come in handy. To help your children pass the time, I have a fun Christmas word search free printable for you today.

Christmas Word Search
This Christmas word search contains 18 words all relating to the holiday. The words can be found horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, plus they can be forwards or backwards.
Ways to Use This Word Search
- Have your child circle or underline the words as they find them. Use a pencil, colored pencil, crayon, or marker.
- If it’s easier for your child, he or she can use a highlighter or pale marker to highlight the words instead.
- Another option would be to have your child dot each letter in the word with a bingo dauber. They are always lots of fun for kids!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
- Printer Paper and a Printer
- Pencils, Crayons, Markers, etc.
WHAT ELSE YOU MIGHT NEED
If you would like to print out the word search and reuse it multiple times, you could use a laminator and laminating pouches. Then your child could use a dry erase marker or wet erase marker to complete the activity. Here are some more options to make this free word search more fun:

My 2nd daughter loves these. Thanks for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party! I’ve pinned your post to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Board and my Christmas board.
Yay – I always look forward to your word search puzzles, great way to test the mind and learn new spellings.
These word searches are just great. I am sharing with some friends and those on social media as well.
I print these out and put contact paper over them, put them on the table and the kids are entertained for days!
Not sure my daughter is ready for a word search at four, but she is trying to read like the dickens! Maybe it would be a fun activity to have on hand though to teach her to look for letters and words in a jumble. This is certainly worth sharing for next year! Thank you.
What a fun and educational way to pass the time leading up to Christmas! Pinning and sharing 🙂
