Printable Christmas Village
The countdown to Christmas is one of the most magical parts of the holiday season, and what better way to celebrate than by building your very own Printable Christmas Village Advent Calendar? We have been doing Advent calendar type activities since our kids were toddlers and it’s always an exciting time each year! This adorable and festive craft combines creativity, coloring, and holiday excitement, making it a perfect activity for kids, families, or classrooms.
What’s Included?
This free printable includes 24 days of Christmas pieces to create your very own Christmas Village. Each piece doubles as an Advent activity—one (or sometimes a few characters) for every day leading up to Christmas! Simply print, color, and fold each design to bring your holiday village to life.
The village includes:
- Santa’s or Elf Workshop: Peek inside to see the elves busily making toys for good little boys and girls!
- Christmas Bakery: The smell of fresh gingerbread cookies and peppermint cupcakes fills the air here!
- Toy Store: Shelves are overflowing with colorful toys just waiting to be wrapped up and placed under the tree.
- Three Beautiful Homes: These cozy houses are decked out with wreaths on the doors, twinkling lights, and snowy rooftops. Can you imagine the families inside sipping hot cocoa?
- Reindeer Barn: This is where Santa’s trusted team rests up and gets fed their favorite snack—carrots!
- Clock Tower: With its big clock counting down the hours to Christmas Eve, this is the town’s centerpiece.
- Florist Shop: Filled with poinsettias, holly, and mistletoe, this shop is the place to find Christmas greenery.
- Church: A warm glow from the windows invites everyone inside for Christmas carols and joy.
- Coffee Shop: Serving up hot cocoa with marshmallows and peppermint lattes, it’s the perfect cozy spot to warm up!
- Post Office: This is where all the letters to Santa get stamped and sent on their magical journey to the North Pole.
Plus, there are playful characters like Santa, reindeer, penguins, and festive animals to add even more charm to your scene!
