Christmas countdown printable with 25 color-in ornaments and bucket list

This Christmas countdown printable is made for families and couples who would love December to feel slower and warmer. Across 12 undated pages you get 25 ornaments to color from the 1st to the 25th, 50 ideas for advent activities, a festive bucket list, lists for films, books and baking, and a keepsake page for memories. It comes as an instant PDF download in US Letter and A4, and nothing is mailed.

How the Christmas countdown printable turns December into a keepsake

Each day, fill in one ornament and jot the day's little highlight underneath. By the 25th, the countdown has become a diary of your whole month. If inspiration runs dry, choose from 50 advent ideas grouped into five themes, from cocoa evenings to a batch of cookies for the neighbors.

Gifts, cards, spending, films, books and baking plans all stay together too, so small details do not slip away in the rush. The traditions and memories pages make it something you will enjoy reading again every year.
