A holiday word search for the whole season, with Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Year side by side: gifts and candles, carols and cookies, a menorah and a kinara. One puzzle for a December classroom, an office party or a family table where everyone celebrates a little differently.

Easy hides 10 of the 20 words across and down; Medium hides 15 of the 20 words also diagonally; Hard hides all 20 words in all eight directions, backwards too.

The puzzle above mixes the whole season on one page. Below it are 7 more holiday word searches, one for each celebration and custom: Christmas, Hanukkah and the New Year, old carols, holiday baking, Christmas in other countries and the month of December. Print one, or all 8 at once.

Every puzzle in the pack is the Medium level: a 13 × 13 grid with up to 15 words across, down and diagonally. Each puzzle’s own page also has Easy and Hard levels. For bigger letters, print the large print holiday word search, and for a group game try holiday bingo.
