Christmas Poems for Kids – 15 Poems to Wish Children a Merry Christmas

It might be enjoyable to come up with fresh ideas for your family’s festive customs as the holidays get closer each year. When you and your family spend an evening together decorating the Christmas tree, reciting Christmas poems for kids, and turning these activities into a family event.

Better still, bake a batch of your favorite sugar cookies or some lovely gingerbread men and ladies, then spend the better part of a Saturday with sticky fingers decorating them with gobs of frosting and candies.

If your family is more Von Trapp, warm up the aging voice chords with a nice cup of cocoa before going caroling and singing everyone’s favorite Christmas carols at your neighbors or a nearby senior center.

Perhaps you and the kids already have a nightly reading time before bed. Use this break from reading the next Harry Potter book to start a daily habit of reading a Christmas poem as a family.

With these simple, lighthearted, and whimsical poems, it’s easy to keep early readers practicing each night. We’ve got enough here to get you started. They will undoubtedly have dreams about Santa Claus, reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and a dozen more fantastical holiday images before going to bed, which will no doubt enchant them and make them feel festive.

1. Title: “Remember the Reindeer”

Hang stockings high and bright,
Tree adorned with pure delight.
Presents nestled, snug and neat,
Joyful laughter, love replete.

Milk and cookies, a sweet array,
Kids in beds, dreams at play.
On Christmas Eve, the magic’s near,
Excitement whispers in the cheer.

Close your eyes, let dreams ignite,
Santa’s sleigh takes flight.
But before you drift away,
Reindeer snacks, a festive stay!

Morning brings the joyous light,
Gifts unwrapped, pure delight.
Christmas Eve, a memory spun,
In the heart, the holiday’s begun.

3. Title: “Little Tree”

Little tree, so silent and small,
More like a flower, lovely and all.
In the green forest, where did you dwell?
Were you sad to leave, little tree, can you tell?

Fear not, I’ll comfort and hold you near,
Your sweet scent, a treasure, crystal clear.
I’ll kiss your cool bark, a gentle embrace,
Just as your mother would, a comforting grace.

Spangles dreaming in a dark box they lay,
Yearning to shine in the light of day.
Balls, chains, red and gold, fluffy threads,
Extend your arms, and I’ll give you what spreads.

Every finger adorned, rings gleaming bright,
No place shall be dark in your festive light.
Dressed in splendor, for all to see,
Proudly standing in the window, so free.

Licking out the pan, a sugary land.

Anticipation rising higher.
In the open grate, a warm embrace,
Christmas dreams take their place.

Now, there’s nothing more to do,
Except for one thing, tried and true.
To wait with joy and hearts elate,
For Christmas magic at the gate.

The clock ticks with a gentle sound,
Snowflakes falling to the ground.
In this moment, so pure and great,
We eagerly anticipate.

As we spread cheer all around.

Santa’s helper, that would be,
A dream come true for little me.

Spreading joy for all to see.

Guiding reindeer with all my might.
Down the chimneys, snug and tight,
Delivering gifts in soft moonlight.

A chubby snowman, jolly and round,
Carrot nose, his smile profound.

Spied the snowman, an unexpected guest.
Grabbed that nose with a hungry hunch,
Nibble, nibble, crunch!

Frosty stood, surprised and amused,
As the bunny nibbled, not a bit confused.
Carrot disappearing with each munch,
A snowy snack for the bunny’s lunch.

Of a snowman, a bunny, and a nose so sunny.
Frosty chuckled, his laughter a sound,
As the bunny nibbled, twirled around.

Their silhouettes like shadows, a festive tune.
