This BIG 12 Days of Christmas Printable Set contains every single day of the popular Christmas song in a simple print. You can use them in so many fun ways like a gallery wall or a rotating display (where you switch the prints out on each of the 12 days). Or, just print out and display your favorite day (I'm partial to those six geese a layin'). Whatever you decide, I hope you love this 12 Days of Christmas Printable Set and it becomes a keepsake for your Christmases for many years.
This set of printables has actually been one that I worked on all month. Going into this series, I was kind of lost as to what to create for the big finale. This particular set was originally going to be a pack that was in my shop (due to its larger size). However, the more I tinkered with it, the more I realized I wanted it for the finale. While the design is simple, I did struggle a bit with each day's layout (the 10 Lords a Leapin' with their scissor kicks nearly did me in with spatial layout!). But, I am happy that they all came together and all have a consistent look to represent that beloved Christmas song.
12 Days of Christmas Printable Set
I once heard someone say that the 12 Days of Christmas song was the holiday version of 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Love it or loathe it, it is still that iconic Christmas carol that really signifies the holidays are in full swing. My favorite version of the song is from the group, Straight No Chaser. It's a rather comedic version that my youngest son and I just can't get enough of. You can hear it in the YouTube video below. All of their Christmas songs are seriously wonderful (their harmony just can't be beat).
This set of printables is actually more than just the 12 pages. I created them in both 8x10" and 5x7" versions. And both of the versions have both JPEG and PDF formats for easy printing (either at home or uploaded to your favorite photo printing shop).
To keep the look of each print consistent, I used the same evergreen and holly berry laurels to form a sort of wreath around the subjects of each printable. The printables are all anchored with my favorite natural-colored buffalo check background. The colors are all fairly soft and understated, making these easy to blend in with all kinds of decor. Again, a gallery wall of these would be so fun for the season. Or, switch them out in a rotating display for each of those 12 days of Christmas.
When are the 12 Days of Christmas?
I'm actually a bit of a 12 Days of Christmas fanatic, but that's probably because my birthday actually falls on the 12th day. The entire span of celebrating from Christmas through my big day was always rather joyful to me, especially in childhood. My mother always called me her Epiphany baby. The 12 Days of Christmas start on December 25th (Christmas Day) and run through January 6th (the day that the Magi visited the baby Jesus, also known as Epiphany in many churches).
Printing and Using Your 12 Days of Christmas Printable Set
- As usual, this free set of printables is for personal use only. Please do not reproduce it with the intention of reselling it in any manner.
- Again, these prints are available in both 8x10" and 5x7" sizes. Both size options are available in both JPEG and PDF formats.
- The 5x7" PDF format has two prints per page, to reduce paper waste. This would be great to print and keep a set for yourself and give a set to a friend.
- If you're printing at home, I highly recommend the PDF formats. Be sure to print them onto white letter-sized cardstock. Regular paper often is too thin and will be a bit too sheer for printables (which can alter their colors).
- You can grab a ream of letter-sized white cardstock here on Amazon. They always have the best price on this.
- When printing the 8x10" PDF, just print onto letter-sized white cardstock, trim, and frame. I've laid it onto the letter-sized page for you to make printing easier and help it to stay true to size.
- You can upload the JPEG formats to any photo printing shop or company to print like a photograph.
Download these Printables:
Not only can you download them all below, but the next image is a preview image to see what each of the days looks like. With the sheer volume of prints (because of the multiple sizes and formats), I am only offering these via Dropbox or Google Drive. There are 48 prints in all (because of the options), so that would have been a bit confusing to list out one by one. This way, you can pick and choose what you prefer when you are on the download pages. I do recommend Dropbox over Google Drive, only because it allowed me to organize them in a manner that made a bit more sense. If you have any issues with downloading, let me know in the comments, or drop me an email.

ReplyDeleteYou have outdone yourself with this entire series. Thank you so much for helping us all get in the mood for Christmas. I'm a Texas girl myself and all the Christmas "pretties" help make it feel more like Christmas when it's still in the 70s/80s outside. I'm sure you know what I mean. :) Merry Christmas to you and your family.

ReplyDeleteThis is great! Thank you so much, and happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! However, I am not familiar with dropbox or Google Drive. Is there any way to do a regular download? I tried the dropbox but couldn't figure out how to print them. I also tried Google Drive, but don't know if that did anything. I'm sure by now you can see what a techie I'm not. Guess I'm used to just clicking and downloading and printing. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

I'm also planning to use one set next year in a rotating display as you suggested. Thank you again and Happy Birthday! -Stephanie
