Printable Christmas countdown with scratch off stickers
My kids love finding a piece of candy each day as they countdown to Christmas, but our favorite part is having a special activity for each day on the calendar. I have shared a magnetic calendar as well as an Ikea countdown both filled with daily activities to get your family into the holiday spirit.
These activities are usually free and easy to do any night of the week. Baking cookies, reading a Christmas book, or making a noodle garland. This year I included a blank countdown printable as well so you can add your own activities.
Subscribe to Creative Ramblings and earn free VIP access to my printable library which includes these Christmas countdown printable files.
Here’s how it works
Print off the calendar and add your own activities or use the version with activities already added. Grab a pack of these scratch off stickers and stick one over each circle. These stickers are so much fun to use, I know you’ll find uses for them throughout the year.
Each day kids get to pick a circle and scratch it off to reveal that day’s activity!
Are you ready for the easiest Christmas countdown? Print yours now and order some scratch off stickers.
If you like this project be sure to pin it!

I love advent calendars with activities, but I especially love the idea of scratching them off to reveal what's beneath. I didn't even know you could get something like that. Very clever!

This is such a clever idea, Sarah! I had no idea that you could buy scratch of stickers, my niece will love this!
