Santa Claus pages show the big man himself in all his favorite moments. Color him waving hello, laughing "Ho Ho Ho!", holding a giant candy cane, ringing a Christmas bell, or giving a thumbs up beside his bulging sack of toys. Some scenes follow him through Christmas Eve, climbing into a brick chimney, popping out of a snowy one under the moon, and waving from a rooftop toward a bright star, while others are cozy moments at home, like decorating the tree, standing by the fireplace, baking gingerbread cookies, or sipping hot cocoa. Every outline is bold and simple, made to fill in with a tap on a phone, tablet, or computer, with nothing to download or sign up for.

Coloring tips

Christmas pictures look great with a small, consistent palette: try sticking to red, green, gold, and white, then add one surprise color for ornaments or gift wrap. For snowy scenes, leave some areas white and add light blue shading so the snow still looks bright.
