Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start printing Christmas Bible coloring pages?+

We recommend starting Advent pages on the first Sunday of Advent (4 Sundays before Christmas) and printing nativity scene pages through Christmas Eve. Our Advent collection has 4 weekly themes — hope, peace, joy, and love.

What's the difference between Christmas coloring pages and Christmas Bible coloring pages?+

Christmas Bible coloring pages focus on the Nativity story from Luke 2 and Matthew 2: Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, the shepherds, wise men, and the star of Bethlehem. These are distinct from secular Christmas coloring pages (Santa, snowmen, etc.) — perfect for Christian families and Sunday school.

Can I use these for our Christmas Eve children's program?+

Yes — our license expressly permits use in church Christmas Eve services, Advent programs, and VBS. Print as many copies as you need for your congregation.
