“Twas the Night Before Christmas” Coloring Book | Free Printable

Reporting from Santa’s Library of Magical Tales

Deep in the quiet halls of Santa’s Library, Mrs. Claus discovered a well-loved copy of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas.” The pages were dusted with a little fireplace soot and a hint of sugar-plum sparkle — the very same book Santa reads aloud each Christmas Eve before his long journey begins.

And now, thanks to the North Pole Times Press, you can enjoy your very own copy — ready to color, cherish, and read aloud by twinkle light!

This Color-Along Edition is perfect for cozy nights before Christmas. Every page features a stanza from the poem paired with a charming black-and-white illustration — ready for little artists to bring to life with crayons, markers, or a sprinkle of Christmas glitter (Santa-approved, of course).

What’s Inside:

The full, original poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas”
Beautiful line-art scenes to color

Sizes Included:

Standard US Letter (8.5×11”)

From the Editor’s Desk

“We wanted this book to feel like a true keepsake — something families can color together each year. Every page captures a moment of wonder, from the first sound of sleigh bells to Santa’s jolly farewell.”
