Free December Word Searches: Christmas, Hanukkah and Winter (Printable PDF + Answer Keys)

Download and print free December word searches — fifteen puzzles covering Christmas Eve, the food, the songs and the decorating, Hanukkah, and the films the month is built around. Every puzzle is a free PDF with the answer key included, sized for standard printer paper and ready for the last week of term, a long journey or a quiet afternoon indoors.

Each grid is built from its own corner of the month rather than one long list of Christmas words. The decorating puzzle hides the GARLAND and the TINSEL. The Hanukkah puzzle hides the MENORAH and the DREIDEL. The around-the-world grid goes looking for how the day is kept elsewhere, and there are grids for the Grinch, the Polar Express and Home Alone.

When December is over, carry on with our January word searches and the New Year’s Day word searches.

About this collection

About the December word searches

Christmas, Hanukkah and the Films

Christmas takes the largest share — the eve itself, the foods, the carols, the decorating and the party — with a grid for how the day is celebrated around the world. Hanukkah has its own puzzle. Then there are the films and stories that only come out once a year: the Grinch, the Polar Express, Home Alone, Frosty and the Nightmare Before Christmas.

What’s in Every Puzzle

Each download is a two-page PDF: the puzzle grid on page one, the completed answer key on page two. Twelve to fifteen words per grid, hidden in every direction. Nothing to sign up for and nothing to install — click a card, print the page.

How to Use These December Word Searches

These get printed in bulk for the last fortnight of term, when everyone has stopped concentrating anyway. The film grids work well for a rainy afternoon at home. If you want more of one theme there is a full Christmas collection, a Hanukkah collection, a winter collection, and a word search for every month of the year.
