Beach Christmas Coloring Pages

Coloring a Tropical Holiday

Combining the holidays with a coastal vacation opens up fun new color palettes. Instead of sticking strictly to pine green and deep red, you can mix in bright tropical hues like turquoise, coral, and sunny yellow. The tropical holiday scenes let you experiment with blending warm sand tones against cool ocean blues.

For the holiday elements, try using neon pinks or lime greens on the ornaments hanging from a decorated palm tree to maintain that warm weather energy. You can also use white gel pens to add the illusion of bright sunlight reflecting off the water or the shiny surface of a surfboard.

Surfing Santa and Festive Marine Life

The humorous image of a surfing Santa Claus appeals to both young kids and adult colorists. The simpler pages featuring Santa on a paddleboard have wide spaces that are easy for preschoolers to fill with crayons or thick markers. Older children and adults might prefer the detailed festive coastal animals, where they can carefully shade the feathers of a flamingo or the intricate shell patterns of a sea turtle carrying gifts.

These printables work well for a variety of sunny holiday activities:

• Host a Christmas in July coloring session during summer break.
• Create custom greeting cards for friends living in warmer climates.
• Decorate a classroom bulletin board with a tropical holiday theme.
