Free santa coloring pages
Santa is the rare celebrity who looks right in any color scheme — the suit doesn't have to be red if your artist has other plans. Here he is waving hello, demolishing the cookies, squeezing into a chimney, and (a crowd favorite) on his summer vacation in sunglasses. Good pages for the December countdown and for the July kid who misses him.
Things to talk about while you color
- Santa's modern look — red suit, white fur trim — was standardized by American illustrators in the 1860s–1930s; before that he wore green, blue, or brown depending on the country.
- NORAD, the North American air-defense command, has 'tracked' Santa's sleigh every Christmas Eve since 1955 — it started with a misprinted phone number kids called by accident.
- Milk and cookies for Santa became an American tradition during the Great Depression, as a way for kids to practice sharing.
- In Australia, Santa arrives in midsummer — beach Santa is not a joke there, it's the actual weather.
