Christmas Word Search

About this puzzle

Find the words of the holidays — reindeer, mistletoe, nutcracker, poinsettia — hidden in a festive letter grid. Each new puzzle mixes different Christmas and winter words.

It makes a calm break between holiday errands, and the printable version is a hit at family gatherings.

How to play

1. Choose a level: Easy, Medium or Hard.
2. Find a word from the list in the grid and drag across it — or tap its first letter, then its last letter.
3. Found words are highlighted and crossed off. Clear the whole list to finish.

Tips

• Look for the long words first; “gingerbread” and “poinsettia” anchor the grid.
• On Medium, words can also run diagonally upward.
