Free Printable Christmas Tracts
Our first-ever Christmas-Themed Gospel Tract Contest has now officially ended. As in the Halloween Tract Contest we sponsored earlier this year, we were thrilled with all the creative ideas readers sent in. Here’s a sampling of the entries we received:
You’ll find polished versions of the award winning designs below. Although they are pictured in color, they will print black and white. We always use colored copy paper or card stock to print ours. If you like the bright, colorful versions, you’ll want to do the same.
Ideas for Using these free printable Christmas Tracts
There are lots of ways to use these tracts during the Christmas season. For instance, you could…
- Give one (along with a generous tip) to your waiter or waitress when eating out
- Pass tracts and candy canes out to your neighbors when Christmas caroling door to door
- Include a couple when stuffing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child
- Tuck one inside “blessing boxes” full of snacks and toiletries for the homeless
- Send one in a letter to a child sponsored through Compassion International
- Slide a tract in with the Christmas cards or letters you send to friends and family
- Invite your children’s classmates to a birthday party for Jesus and include tracts in their goodie bags
- Leave one in your mailbox attached to a box of cookies for your mail carrier
I’m sure you can think of even more uses. (Feel free to share your ideas in the comments below.)
And now, without further adieu, we’d like to announce our contest winners. Again, it was impossible to narrow it down to just three. We ended up with a couple of ties. Here’s the run down:
1st Place (tie): The Best Gift of All
A full 50% of the entries we received revolved around the “Jesus is the best gift of all” theme. That’s understandable, because it is 100% true!
What set this design by Nathan S. apart from all the others, though, was the excellent artwork. He drew it all himself, and submitted such high-resolution copies that I was able to use all of it on the final version of this tract. Isn’t it beautiful?
1st Place (tie): Can Rudolph Light the Way?
We thought this clever design by Kate D. was adorable and so smart. We loved all the Scripture she used to tie the theme together, too!
Kate splits the $300 first-place prize with Nathan.
2nd Place (tie): Do Reindeer Really Fly?
This eye-catching tract by Sarah B. takes a similar tack. It uses a secular notion of Christmas to draw readers in and point them to the real reason we celebrate.
Sarah splits the $200 second prize with the next contest winner.
2nd Place (tie): All about A Gift
The little girl who submitted this well-articulated idea is only 9 years old. Her name is Jane D. Didn’t she do a fabulous job designing her gospel tract?
3rd Place: Counting Snowflakes
Micah S. won the 3rd place prize of $100 for his Snowflake-themed gospel tract. Since this one is not so overtly about Christmas, you can use it all winter long — even after the holidays are over.
Bonus Tract: The Reason for the Season
This last free printable Christmas tract isn’t a contest winner; it’s just a bonus for our readers. After reading through all the great contest submissions we received, I couldn’t resist designing a tract of my own. Here’s what I came up with. The maxims aren’t orignial, but they are certainly true:
That’s all for now! We hope you’ll enjoy sharing these Christmas gospel tracts. And we pray that you and those you love will have a merry and meaningful holiday season!
Great ideas for ways to spread the gospel this Christmas! I work in a school and try to use a new idea each year for a little gift with a message to glorify Jesus. Here are a few I have done in the past: https://nolongerlukewarm.com/2021/12/05/5-ideas-for-little-christmas-gifts-that-glorify-jesus/. This year, I’m doing Reisen chocolate caramels with a message about the “Reisen” for the Season. I like how your tracts incorporate the gospel, so I’m taking some inspiration from you this year. God bless you and Merry Christmas 2022!
That’s great, Angela. And I loved your 70 Ideas for Sharing the Gospel with Food. So clever!
Thank you so much for making these available for free. Every year (since God convicted me) at Halloween we pass out big candy with gospel tracts on them. So glad to find these that don’t contain an unbiblical sinner’s prayer.
I’m glad you found them, too, Kim!
What a blessing to find your site in time for our Birthday Party for Jesus at Awana.
I’m so glad you did! Thanks for the good work you do with Awana. Hope you all have a wonderful birthday party!
I love your website. My family and friends love playing your printouts. We have so much fun during the holidays. Happy holiday and may God continue to bless you and your family.
I’m so glad to hear that, Helen. Thanks for taking time to write and tell me so. Hope you all have a blessed Christmas!
Thank you for these free printable Christmas Gospel cards.
I plan to share these and give to neighbors.
A Blessed Christ Season of love, healing and redemption to all!
Shalom to you and the whole family.
That sounds great, Ales. And a happy New Year to you!
Wondering if you offer printed copies of the tracts for sale? My personal testimony is that I picked up a tract in the school parking lot when I was in 6th grade, read it while walking home, and prayed to receive Christ as Savior that afternoon 😀
Enjoy your column in the newspaper – always interesting and encouraging ; )
In His service,
Robin
I LOVE that testimony, Robin. Thanks so much for sharing! It’s a great illustration of the promise God makes concerning His Word: “It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11) That’s one reason we try to include lots of scripture in our tracts — because we know that “the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)
As for selling pre-printed copies of our tracts, we aren’t really set up to do that right at present, although it is something we may consider in the future, as we’ve had several requests from readers to do so. In the meantime, you can save time/hassle by doing what we sometimes do and sending the PDF files for the tract you want to print to Office Depot or Kinko’s. For an additional fee, they’ll even cut and fold them for you, although our family usually does that part ourselves. 🙂
Say hello to your family for us, Robin. Take care (and stay warm)!
Jennifer
Would you allow us to print copies of your designs for a couple of mission projects our family is working on?
Absolutely, Robin. That’s why we make them available. Print as many as you need. I don’t have them all collected in one place yet, but I think you should be able to see all the ones we currently have available by following these links:
We plan to add more in the future. And your letter lets me know I need to update my page at Prescott Publishing to include all our newer designs. Thanks for that reminder!
Got this without the color (B&W)? Printing on our own colored paper, as color ink is so expensive.
Thanks.
Sonya
Yes, Sonya. They are all in B&W. You pick the color by using colored paper. I try to make most of my printables that way, because I agree printing in color is too expensive.
