Three free wish list designs, one US Letter page each. Every one has a line for the name and age, numbered lines for the wishes with a star beside each one to color in for the present they want most, and a box at the bottom to draw it. Print it blank and let them write it, or type the wishes in first and print a neat copy for the fridge.
Open a design to fill it in: the preview changes as you type and is exactly what prints. On a phone, choose “Save as PDF” in the print screen. Nothing you type is uploaded; it stays in your browser.
How the Wish List Works
- Name and age at the top, so a stack of lists from cousins doesn’t get mixed up.
- Numbered lines: six to twelve, depending on whether the drawing box is on. Type wishes in and the lines shrink to fit more.
- The star beside each line is for coloring in the one they want most. It saves you asking.
- The drawing box is for the present they want most, or for children too young to write. Turn it off for a full page of lines.
For Children Who Can’t Write Yet
Use the color-it-in design. They can draw each wish on its line, or cut pictures out of a toy catalog and glue them on. Write a word under each picture afterwards so the grown-ups know what the drawing is.
Sending the List to Family
A paper list on the fridge works for the people who visit. For grandparents, aunts and uncles who live somewhere else, put the same wishes on an online Christmas list: each person taps I’ll get this on a gift, so nothing is bought twice, and your child won’t see who claimed what. On the fill-in page there’s a button that turns the wishes you typed into that list.
Or start the online list now. Free, and nobody needs an account.
Writing to Santa Instead?
The letter to Santa template has the same fill-in-and-print editor, with the parts children like: their name and age, nice or very nice, something kind they did, three wishes, a wish for someone else, and what they’ll leave out on Christmas Eve. It also explains how to mail it in the US and Canada.
Doing the buying? The Christmas gift list template is a printable budget tracker: everyone you’re buying for, the gift, budget, spent, bought and wrapped.

Questions
Is the printable Christmas wish list free?
Yes. All three designs are free to print or save as PDF, with nothing to sign up for. Each prints on one US Letter page.
Can I type on the wish list before printing?
Yes. Open a design, type the name, age and wishes, and the preview updates as you type. Blank lines print as numbered lines to write on, so you can type some and leave the rest.
Is there a version for kids to color?
Yes. The color-it-in design has an outline Christmas tree, presents and ornaments to color, an outline title, and big handwriting-style lines.
Can family see the list online?
Yes, if you make it an online Christmas list. Family members claim gifts from their phones without an account, and the child the list is for does not see who is buying what.
