A slightly cozier follow-up to our first medium grid, this Christmas crossword packs ten themed answers into a 11x10 layout that balances challenge and comfort. Some clues reach into classic songs and stories, like the Dickens grouch who learns to love the season, while others stick to decorations and treats you can point to from the couch. It is designed for older kids and adults who want twenty relaxed minutes rather than a bruising newspaper puzzle.
Print it for a Christmas Eve activity box, a holiday scatter of pages at a family gathering, or a December classroom wind-down. Answers go on their own page, printed only when you choose, so the puzzle stays fair for anyone solving in pairs. Each puzzle in this series uses a different slice of the word bank, so if you have already finished the others, this one still has fresh clues to unwrap. Finish it and you will have earned the last cookie on the plate.
The answers live on their own page: press Print Answer Key above, or use View answer key to check the solved grid on screen without printing. Stuck on a single word? The answer key lists every across and down answer next to its clue.
