December fills up fast. A few printables, made ready in November, take a surprising amount of pressure off: the gifts look finished, the kids have something to do, and the plan lives on paper instead of in your head. Here is what we'd print, in the order you'll need it.
1. A holiday planner (print in November)
Start with the plan. A December calendar, a gift list with a budget column, a card list and a Christmas dinner menu turn a long mental to-do list into a few pages on the fridge. Our Holiday Planner 2026 has 9 pages for exactly this.
2. Christmas cards (print early December)
Printable cards are quick and personal: print as many as you need, write inside by hand and post or hand them over. Try the 6 minimal 5x7 Christmas cards, with a lined writing side.
3. Gift tags (print before you wrap)
Tags make plain paper look intentional. Print a sheet on white or kraft card, cut along the marks and tie with string. The 12 Christmas gift tag designs cover trees, holly, ornaments and snowflakes. Want to try first? Grab the free gift tags sample.
4. Kids' Christmas activities (print for the school break)
Keep a small stack ready for rainy afternoons and the days before Christmas: a letter to Santa, a wish list, mazes, word searches and bingo. The Merry Kids Pack has 13 activities for ages 3 to 8, and the Christmas coloring pages are perfect for quiet time.
5. Winter wallpapers (for your screens)
Not printable, but part of the mood: a calm snowy moon on your phone and desktop. The 8 winter wallpapers come with the Christmas Bundle.
Save with the bundle
If you want the planner, cards, tags and wallpapers together, the Christmas Bundle costs less than buying each set. You'll find everything else in our Christmas printables collection.
