The short answer

Four free large-print Christmas word searches, each on its own page, with an answer key at the end. Click "Print all puzzles" to print them all, or "Print this puzzle" under the one you want.

Four puzzles for the Christmas season: decking the halls, a plate of cookies and treats, Santa’s workshop, and a slow Christmas morning in pajamas. Each one has 14 words to find in big, bold letters, and each fits on one sheet of regular letter-size paper.
