Our candy cane coloring pages are a fantastic way to bring some Christmas holiday cheer right away. The bright colors, and striped patterns are so recognizable that kids jump right in without second thoughts and fill the paper with red, green, or whatever color they desire while you sip your favorite warm drink and enjoy some quiet time together.
It’s such a relief to have an easy activity ready to print with no planning, and we like watching each page turn into its own sweet little piece of art, because even the same candy cane can look completely different depending on who colors it and what mood they’re in that day.
Free Printable Candy Cane Coloring Pages
You can download all of our free printable candy cane coloring pages as PDF files, which makes it simple to reprint your favorite pages whenever you want, and it’s great to keep a few ready because they help keep kids busy while waiting for dinner or guests during the busy holiday weeks.
Each sheet fits perfectly on A4 paper, so just choose “actual size” before printing, and if you want stronger colors or plan to make crafts later, thicker paper gives markers and glue a nice surface without curling or smudging.

6 Fun Crafts to Use candy cane Coloring Pages
Instead of letting finished pages pile up on a counter, try turning them into quick crafts that decorate your home or turn into small gifts kids will be proud to hand out.
1. Candy Cane Garland
Color a handful of pages, then cut out the candy canes in smooth shapes, punch a tiny hole at the top of each one, and thread ribbon or twine through so you can hang the garland across a window, bookshelf, or fireplace where everyone can admire the artwork.
We love to see kids testing out different designs and techniques for something they are doing, because with each cane there is a little explosion of personality in the room, plus it reminds them that they created something special.
2. Gift Wrap Strips
After coloring, cut the page into long strips and wrap it around an ordinary white or kraft-paper gift like ribbon, and it instantly makes even the smallest gift look festive, while still not having to buy extra wrapping supplies.
Sometimes we mix stripes from different pages for a fun pattern that feels homemade and thoughtful, and people always notice the detail.
3. Holiday Cards
Fold a piece of cardstock into a card, glue a cut-out candy cane to the front, and write a short greeting like “Sweet Wishes!” in bold marker, making a unique card that feels far more personal than anything from a store shelf.
Kids love signing their names and adding a tiny doodle, and these cards become keepsakes instead of something tossed away after the holidays.
4. Table Name Holders
You can also fold small cards from sturdy paper, glue small canes to each of them and write your guests’ names under each one to give your table a cute little spot for the meal while making it organized and festive all at the same time! Most people take theirs home so they can remember that cozy holiday dinner together.
5. Tree Ornaments
To create a memorable decoration, laminate a cut-out candy cane or glue it onto cardboard to give it stability. After cutting out the cane, punch a hole in the top and attach a ribbon before hanging it on the tree where kids will be able to see which one is theirs for every day of December.
To memorialize the year, you can always write the year on the back so that when you unpack it the following December you can smile at the memories.
6. Bookmark Treats
Select a candy cane that has nice clean lines around it, cut a nice long rectangle around the whole cane, laminate the bookmark for longevity, and tie a ribbon to the top so that reading will become a mini celebration every time they open a book!
Bookmarks also make easy gifts that feel personal, which is perfect for classmates, teachers, or family members who enjoy a good holiday story.
Hope these crafts help you turn simple candy cane coloring pages into sweet decorations and happy moments you can look back on year after year.
