Printable Christmas Countdown – Festive Tracker Templates
If you’re looking for a fun and festive way to countdown the days until Christmas, these printable Christmas countdown templates are perfect for getting excited for the big day!
These Christmas countdown trackers are a simple yet exciting way for the whole family to get into the season. The festive designs are sure to bring you a little Christmas cheer as you cross off each day.
You’ll get to choose from a few holiday themed Christmas trackers, each with 25 days to cross off, color in or add stickers to as each day passes.
Why Use A Christmas Countdown?
Your Christmas day countdown isn’t just for tracking the days. It turns waiting into a holiday activity on it’s own.
Using a countdown for Christmas day helps to build excitement and anticipation, creates family routines for those who cross off the days together, gives kids a visual answer to the “how long til Christmas?” question and adds little moments of joy all throughout the month.
These fun holiday countdown trackers work for individuals, families, classrooms and so much more.
What’s Included In Your Countdown?
Each countdown template includes 25 circles which you can cross off, color in or add stickers to as each day goes by. A quote is also included at the bottom of each template to add a little Christmas spirit to the countdown!
Several design options such as festive borders and minimal, printer-friendly versions are all ready to print.
The paper size of the Christmas day countdown templates is US Letter 8.5″ x 11″. They are PDF files that can be printed at home, often right from your browser.
How To Print And Setup Your Countdown
To print your template, just click on the one you like the most. It’ll automatically open in a new tab.
From there, you can print it out on your desired paper. Card stock or premium printer paper is a great option for professional feeling prints. Otherwise, regular printer paper works just fine!
Display your countdown on the fridge, classroom board, desk or anywhere you’ll be able to easily access it daily.
A fun idea you can do is put the tracker in a frame or get crafty and hole punch the top to hang it with twine. The countdowns are cute on their own, but this will make it extra decorative!
Turning Your Countdown Into A Christmas Tradition
While these countdowns are great for simply tracking the days, they can also become a full on yearly Christmas tradition if you’d like! Here are a few ways to turn counting down the days into a holiday tradition:
- Do it at the same time each day (breakfast, bedtime, after school)
- Let kids take turns crossing off the days
- Write the current year on the back of the template to keep as a keepsake
- Choose a pack of Christmas stickers, markers or glitter pens with the whole family to cross of the days
