Free Christmas in Germany Coloring Pages For Kids

These Christmas in Germany coloring pages have been one of our favorite ways to bring cultural learning into December.

We like to pause our regular lessons this time of year and focus on how Christmas is celebrated around the world.

Germany is always a highlight, my son was fascinated by Saint Nicholas Day and the idea of leaving shoes out for treats.

The printable pages include simple facts and illustrations that make the traditions feel real and easy to talk about. They’re a low-prep way to combine coloring, storytelling, and holiday learning in one activity.

Coloring pages featuring German Christmas traditions like Saint Nicholas, Advent wreaths, and Christkind for kids.

German Christmas Coloring Pages

In this Christmas in Germany story, we meet Max, a little boy who loves the holidays.

As Christmas approaches, his family lights the candles on their Advent wreath and bakes traditional treats like stollen.

Two Christmas-themed coloring pages about German holiday traditions. The top page shows a hand-colored German flag with the text, “Merry Christmas” and a short story about a boy named Max who loved Christmas. The bottom page features a brightly colored Advent wreath with four candles and a description of how Max’s family lit one candle each Sunday leading up to Christmas. Decorative red and green bead garlands are placed beside the pages.

Max looks forward to December 6th, when he leaves his clean shoes outside his door for Saint Nicholas Day, hoping for small gifts and sweets.

The top page shows a pair of blue-colored shoes with a story about Max putting them outside his door on December 5th, hoping Saint Nicholas would fill them with treats. The bottom page features an outlined image of Saint Nicholas with a staff, and text explaining how Max’s mother ensured his shoes were clean since Saint Nicholas only rewarded well-behaved children with tidy shoes. Blue and green beaded garlands are also arranged beside the pages.

The story also introduces Christkind, the golden-haired angel who brings presents on Christmas Eve.

Green beads, blue beads, and candy canes are arranged around the pages.

That night, Max opens his gifts, sings carols with his family, and ends the evening feeling full of joy. It’s a gentle way to celebrate tradition, family, and the spirit of the season.
