Mexican Christmas Coloring Pages
These free Mexican Christmas coloring pages introduce kids to holiday traditions in Mexico through six printable activities featuring Las Posadas, Feliz Navidad, Los Tres Reyes Magos, traditional foods, piñatas, and New Year’s celebrations.
The Three Kings (Los Tres Reyes Magos)
One of the most important Mexican Christmas traditions is Los Tres Reyes Magos (the Three Kings). On January 6, children celebrate Three Kings’ Day, when gifts are exchanged to remember the Wise Men who visited baby Jesus.
This coloring page introduces kids to this special tradition, which marks the end of the Christmas season in Mexico.
Mexican Christmas Foods
Food is an important part of Christmas in Mexico, and many families enjoy these traditional holiday dishes:
- Buñuelos: Crispy fried pastries sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.
- Tamales: Steamed corn dough filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables and wrapped in corn husks.
- Ponche: A warm fruit punch made with seasonal fruits, cinnamon, and sugar cane.
- Rosca de Reyes: A sweet bread served on Three Kings’ Day with colorful candied fruit and a hidden figurine inside.
Christmas Pinata Traditions
Christmas piñatas are a favorite part of holiday celebrations in Mexico. During Las Posadas, children take turns trying to break a colorful star-shaped piñata filled with candy, fruit, and small toys.
The traditional seven-pointed piñata represents the seven deadly sins, making it both a festive game and a symbol of overcoming temptation.
New Year’s Grapes Tradition
Many families in Mexico celebrate New Year’s Eve by eating twelve grapes at midnight. Each grape represents one month of the coming year, and a wish is made before eating each one.
This fun tradition is believed to bring good luck and prosperity for the year ahead.
DÃa de Reyes (Three Kings’ Day)
Children in Mexico celebrate DÃa de Reyes (Three Kings’ Day) by leaving their shoes out on the night of January 5. By morning, the Three Kings (Los Tres Reyes Magos) have left candy or small gifts inside, creating one last magical celebration before the Christmas season comes to an end.

I can not get any of these downloads to work. Im in a public school district and can not download extra programs, just the files. Is there a way to find these files?
Hi Rachael,
School district filters are usually the issue here — they tend to block the email with the PDF before it even reaches your inbox. Nothing extra needs to be installed, it’s just a standard PDF file.
If you want to try again, I recommend using a personal email (Gmail always works) because district servers are extremely strict. Once you enter a personal address, the file should come through right away. Let me know if that helps!
