Christmas word search puzzles

Santa, sleigh bells, gingerbread and mistletoe: these Christmas word searches pack the holidays into classic letter grids. Print a batch for the class party or the long drive to grandma's, slip one under the tree with a pencil, or play right here while the cookies bake.

Each grid is followed by its solution, and the three levels cover the whole family — level 1 reads across and down only, level 3 hides words backwards for the veterans of the Christmas puzzle.
