Christmas Word Search, Free PDF
December party rotations and choir-room waiting need a Christmas vocabulary sheet—tree, gift, snowman—not a generic winter list. This 12×12 puzzle uses twenty holiday words with easy placement for whole-class completion in one period. Controls below let you add diagonals for older grades or regenerate with New puzzle for absent make-up work. Pair with our winter word search when you need both secular and holiday options in the same month. Print at 100% with scaling turned off; answer key on page two.
