How to Print & Use Your Christmas Advent Calendar
Our free printable Christmas advent calendar is formatted to print cleanly on standard US Letter size (8.5 x 11 inches) paper, making it easy to download and print directly from any standard home or office printer. If you are printing outside North America on A4 paper, simply check your printer dialog box and select “Fit to Printable Area” or “Scale to Fit” to ensure the outer decorative borders and dates do not get clipped along the margins.
Recommended Paper Weights for Coloring
Because this advent calendar doubles as a daily coloring project, regular thin copy paper (20 lb standard bond) is not recommended. Crayons work fine on standard sheets, but colored pencils can indent the thin paper, and water-based markers or gel pens will frequently bleed through to your tabletop.
For best results, print onto a sturdy 65 lb to 80 lb cardstock or heavy matte presentation paper. Cardstock provides a smooth, durable surface that absorbs color without warping, allows kids to blend colored pencils effortlessly, and withstands four full weeks of daily handling as you count down each December morning.
How the Daily QR Codes Work
Scattered throughout the countdown calendar squares are unique, scannable QR codes designed to add an interactive multimedia layer to your family’s holiday countdown. You do not need to download any specialized scanner application to use them.
- Open the default camera app on any modern smartphone or tablet.
- Hold the camera steady over the individual QR code square until a preview notification link appears on the screen.
- Tap the link to open the daily surprise, which takes you directly to curated family-friendly Christmas carols, bonus mini coloring sheets, or holiday crosswords.
