Christmas Drawings
Here is a growing list of festive Christmas drawings: easy, cute instructions for all ages to be merry and creative.
Santa and His Hat
What would Christmas be without Jolly Old Saint Nick, more commonly known as Santa Claus? This tutorial explains an easy way to draw a Santa Hat, as well as the present-bringing man, himself -- red suit and all.
Christmas Tree Drawing
Where does Santa put the presents? Why, under the Christmas tree, of course! Learn a simple way to sketch a sparkling tree decorated with holiday lights here.
Present Drawing
Speaking of presents... how do you draw them? Here is a lesson that demonstrates two different methods: one with a square gift box and poofy ribbon up top, and one that features a round present drawing with a large bow up top.
Candy Cane Drawing
Can you taste the sweet peppermint flavor of this cute candy cane? See easy instructions for how to draw it (and make it look three-dimensional) here.
Snowman Drawing
If you're dreaming of a white Christmas, you're probably looking forward to making a snowman with all that snow! Here is a fun, creative, (and somewhat unique) way of drawing one in an adorable cartoon style. (It's an Adorable Snowman, not the Abominable Snowman!)
Christmas Stocking Drawing
I love how this Christmas stocking drawing turned out, replete with a fluffy top and knit decorations! You get to decide what goes in YOUR stocking art, but this one has magical sparkles zipping out...
Reindeer Drawing: Rudolph!
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is instrumental in helping Santa bring his gifts around the world! Learn how to draw him here.
Wreath Drawing
It's so festive to see a Christmas wreath on the door of a house during the winter holidays! Here's a simple way to draw one in a cartoon style.
Ornament Drawing
Here are some tips for how to make Christmas ornament drawing easier in order to decorate your tree art.
Holly Drawing
The great thing about holly is that it's already in Christmas colors, with the red berries shining brightly next to the glossy green leaves.
Candy Drawing
The holidays are all about delicious and ample comfort food -- and a lot of sweets. Here's a method of drawing candy. Yum!

Which Christmas Drawings Are Your Favorites?
Looking at this big round-up, which holiday art and Christmas drawings are your favorite? I’m partial to the present drawing, myself.
How to Spell Christmas
In addition to being an artist, I’m also an English teacher, so I can’t resist adding in a lesson on how to spell Christmas. In fact, this holiday belongs on our list of hard words to spell, because people often leave out the “t” in the middle, or add an extra “s” at the end, writing misspellings such as “Chrismas” or “Chrismass,” or “Christmass.”
The history of the holiday helps us remember the spelling: it is “Christmas,” with a “t” in the middle, and just one “s” at the end. Now, what about its capitalization?
Is Christmas Capitalized?
The answer to “Is Christmas capitalized?” is less complicated than the details in our article, “Is Happy New Year Capitalized?” Because Christmas is a holiday and all holidays are proper nouns, it should ALWAYS be capitalized.
That said, be careful not to capitalize the words around it, unless they are part of the proper noun, such as “Christmas Day.” For example, as we learned in our Christmas tree drawing article, the “tree” remains lower case unless it’s part of a heading or title, because it’s a common noun.
Christmas Drawings, in Sum
I hope this round-up of Christmas drawings (plus the spelling and capitalization lesson) has been useful and jolly for you! What art would you like me to illustrate and teach next? Do share!
