What Is Inside This Collection
Winter and Year-End Holidays
Christmas is the largest sub-collection in this hub by a wide margin. Hanukkah covers the menorah, dreidel, and other symbols of the eight-night Jewish Festival of Lights. Kwanzaa covers the African American and Pan-African cultural holiday’s seven principles and symbols. St Nicholas Day covers the December 6 feast day. Happy New Year and Groundhog Day close out the winter cluster into early February.
Spring Celebrations
Easter and St. Patrick’s Day anchor this group, alongside April Fool’s Day, Purim, and International Nowruz Day (the Persian and Central Asian spring new year). Holi covers the Hindu festival of colors. Earth Day, Mardi Gras, Carnival, and World Water Day round out the season.
Summer Observances
4th Of July and Canada Day cover the two major North American national holidays of the season. Juneteenth covers the federal holiday marking the end of slavery in the United States. Flag Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day cover their respective American observances, while Cinco De Mayo, Lei Day, and Kentucky Derby add cultural and regional celebrations, and World Oceans Day closes the group.
Autumn Holidays
Halloween is the second-largest sub-collection in this hub. Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving Cartoon, Turkey, and I Am Thankful For cover the harvest holiday from several angles, with Black Friday marking the shopping day that follows. Day Of The Dead covers the Mexican Día de los Muertos tradition. Guy Fawkes Night, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, and Patriot Day complete the season.
Religious and Cultural Observances
Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr cover the Islamic holy month and the festival that follows it. Diwali covers the Hindu, Sikh, and Jain festival of lights. Rosh Hashanah, Simchat Torah, and Shavuot cover three more holidays on the Jewish calendar. Festival and Mayflower round out this group with a general celebration theme and a Thanksgiving-adjacent historical subject.
Life Celebrations and Everyday Cards
Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, I Love Mom, Sisters Day, Brother’s Day, and Grandparents Day cover family-appreciation occasions. Family Day, Get Well Soon, Happy Birthday, and Happy Birthday Card extend the collection into everyday life celebrations, while Women’s Day and Children’s Day mark two internationally recognized observances. Valentine’s Day and Valentine’s Day Cards cover the February holiday and its card-making tradition specifically.
Awareness Days and Civic Observances
This hub is one of the few coloring collections to include structured pages for United Nations and civic observance days: International Youth Day, World Environment Day, World Health Day, World Autism Awareness Day, International Day of Peace, International Day of Education, and International Day of Human Space Flight cover global observances, while Red Ribbon Week, Field Day, Election Day, American Eagle Day, Independence Mexico Day, Prayer Day, World Book Day, and Intellectual cover school and civic themes.
What Holidays Coloring Pages Do
The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7.
A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions.
A collection this broad gives families and classrooms a page for nearly any occasion on the calendar, letting a coloring activity connect directly to whatever holiday, cultural observance, or family celebration is actually happening that week rather than defaulting to generic seasonal themes.
How to Color Holiday Pages Well
- Christmas: use Pine Green and Scarlet as the base palette, with Goldenrod for ornaments and star toppers.
- Halloween: lean into Burnt Orange, Black, and Purple for jack-o’-lanterns and classic Halloween characters.
- Hanukkah: use Blue and Silver or white for the menorah and dreidel, the traditional colors of the holiday.
- Diwali and Holi: use bright, saturated colors, Magenta, Yellow Orange, and Turquoise Blue, since both festivals are themselves about vivid color and light.
- Valentine’s Day: stick to Red, Carnation Pink, and white for hearts and cards, the standard holiday color set.
- Thanksgiving: use warm autumn tones, Burnt Sienna, Goldenrod, and Brown, for turkeys, leaves, and harvest scenes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Holidays collection?
The collection spans 74 sub-categories and 6,864 pages, covering major Western holidays like Christmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving, international and religious observances like Hanukkah, Ramadan, Eid Al-Fitr, Diwali, and Kwanzaa, civic days like Juneteenth and Veterans Day, everyday life celebrations, and a dozen United Nations observance days.
Does this collection include Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year?
Not yet. Despite covering other Lunar-calendar and international holidays like Nowruz and Diwali, this site does not currently have a Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year sub-collection.
Which sub-collection gets the most traffic?
Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Diwali are among the strongest-performing sub-collections in this hub.
Why does this collection include so many international and religious holidays?
The hub is built to cover the full range of celebrations families actually observe, not just the most commercially dominant Western holidays, which is why it includes Hanukkah, Ramadan, Eid Al-Fitr, Diwali, Holi, Kwanzaa, and Nowruz alongside Christmas and Halloween.
What is International Nowruz Day?
Nowruz is the Persian and Central Asian new year, celebrated at the spring equinox. The sub-collection is titled International Nowruz Day on this site, its official United Nations-recognized name.
What are the World Health Day, World Oceans Day, and similar pages about?
These pages cover United Nations and civic observance days rather than traditional holidays, giving classrooms and homeschool programs a coloring page tied to global awareness topics like health, the environment, and peace.
Are these pages suitable for young children?
Yes, for most of the collection. Simple designs across the major holidays like Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine’s Day work well for children ages 3 to 6, while more detailed cultural and civic pages suit older children and classrooms better.
Can these pages be used for a classroom calendar or holidays unit?
Yes. Because the sub-collections are organized by occasion across the full calendar year, a page can be assigned alongside whatever holiday, cultural observance, or awareness day a classroom or homeschool program is covering that week.
