This free printable Christmas crossword is made for young solvers and anyone who wants a quick, cheerful holiday puzzle. The 9x9 grid holds nine short themed answers about Santa's reindeer, jingling bells, and the Grinch, and every clue uses words kids already know, so early readers can join in while the grown-ups sip their cocoa. It is an easy difficulty puzzle, which means short answers, generous crossings, and no tricky wordplay.
Print it on regular letter or A4 paper and you are ready for the last day of school before winter break, a family game night, a church youth group, or a holiday activity pack. The answer key prints on a separate page using the Print Answers button, so you can solve along with the kids and still peek if one clue stumps everyone at the table. When this grid is done, move on to our second easy Christmas crossword or step up to the medium Christmas crossword puzzles in the collection.
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.
