Looking for a simple, screen-free way to keep kids busy this holiday season? These 12 free Christmas mazes for kids are just the thing! Each maze has a fun Christmas shape — like Santa hats, candy canes, snowmen, stockings, and more — to make learning and play extra festive. Plus, every maze comes with its own solution page, so kids can check their work or get a little help if they get stuck!
Why Kids Love Christmas Mazes
Mazes are one of those activities that feel like play but sneak in plenty of learning. They help kids:
-
Build problem-solving and critical thinking skills
-
Practice hand-eye coordination and fine motor control
-
Learn patience and focus while having fun
-
Enjoy a holiday-themed challenge they can complete on their own

-
12 matching answer pages
That’s 24 pages total of holiday fun you can print instantly!
Each maze is designed for 8.5 x 11” paper, so it’s easy to print at home, in the classroom, or at a copy shop. You can download below.
Fun Ways to Use These Christmas Mazes
You can use these Christmas mazes in so many creative and festive ways all season long!
Classroom Centers or Morning Work
Teachers love these printable mazes because they’re easy prep and perfect for quiet, independent work. Set them out at a holiday-themed center, use them for early finishers, or make them part of a Christmas activity packet. They keep students focused while still feeling like festive fun!
Christmas Party Games
Print several mazes and let kids race to see who can finish first. You can even give out small candy canes or stickers as prizes! These work great for school Christmas parties, Sunday School groups, or family gatherings where you want something fun but low-mess.
Stocking Stuffers or Advent Countdown Fillers
Fold a maze and tuck it into an Advent calendar pocket or slip a few into your kids’ stockings for a fun surprise. You could even print all 12 maze designs, roll them up with a ribbon, and gift them as a little “Christmas Activity Pack” to friends or cousins.
Quiet Time Activities During Christmas Break
Need a few peaceful moments while you bake cookies or wrap gifts? Hand your kids a Christmas maze (or a few!) to keep them busy while you get things done. They’ll love the challenge, and you’ll love the calm!
Road Trip or Travel Fun
Heading to Grandma’s house for Christmas? Print a few mazes and pack them with crayons or colored pencils in a zip bag. They make a great screen-free option for car rides or flights, and they’re simple enough for kids to do on their own.
Creative Coloring Twist
After solving the maze, let kids decorate their page! They can color in the Christmas shape, add sparkly stickers, or draw a festive background. It turns a quick maze into a cute keepsake or a piece of homemade holiday art.
