28 Free December 2026 Printable Calendar Pages | PDF Download

This December 2026 calendar printable comes in 28 layouts, so you can print the one that fits how you plan.

December fills up faster than any other month — concerts, class parties, shopping and shipping deadlines, travel, guests, and a week where nobody is sure what day it is.

I made the daily boxes roomy on purpose, so you can write a real plan in one without cramming it into a corner. Every dated version has the first day of winter, Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Year’s Eve already marked.

This is part of the winter calendar set if you want the whole season on one page instead. Counting down to the big day? The Christmas countdown calendar pairs well with it.

What’s in the Download

1. Dated — plain December 2026 grid, open boxes
2. Blank / undated — no year, circle to write the date, reusable
3. Dated with holidays — the first day of winter, Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Year’s Eve marked
4. Holidays + to-do list — checklist panel down the side
5. Holidays + notes — lined notes panel down the side
6. Cute dot banner — decorative header for a visible spot
7. Holidays + writing lines — ruled lines inside every box

The four PDFs are portrait Sunday-start, portrait Monday-start, landscape Sunday-start, and landscape Monday-start. Twenty-eight pages, all free.

Best Ways to Stay Organized in December:

• Print the calendar and write in school concerts, parties, and travel days first
• Block off shopping, wrapping, and shipping deadlines
• Keep food and supplies straight with a Christmas party sign-up sheet or Christmas potluck sign-up sheet
• Plan gifts, cards and travel with the holiday planner
• Get letters to Santa out early with the letter to Santa templates
• Keep the kids busy with Christmas charades or Christmas Pictionary
• Keep everything visible alongside a Christmas countdown calendar

If you want the months to flow together, print the printable November calendar and the printable January calendar to build a simple holiday planning stack. I also like keeping the December page in the same binder section as my other calendar pages so everything stays consistent.

Blank December Calendar (Undated)

The undated layout has no year and a circle in each cell for writing the date. Print it, put it in a page protector or frame, and write on the front with a dry-erase marker.

Reusable every December, or any month — it works as a plain blank calendar template for gift tracking, a baking schedule, or a chore chart.

December Calendar Monday Start

If you want a December calendar Monday start layout, downloads 2 and 4 are it — they run Monday through Sunday. Same boxes, same holidays, reordered columns.

Match whatever your existing wall calendar or planner uses.

Landscape vs Portrait: Which December Calendar to Print

Portrait fits the fridge, a binder, or a clipboard.

Landscape gives every day almost 30 percent more width, and December is the month that benefits most — concerts, parties and deadlines stack on the same days, and a wide box holds a full line of writing.

Both are US Letter and print on standard paper.

December 2026 Calendar With Notes or a To-Do List

Two layouts add a full-height panel beside the grid.

Notes gives ruled lines for what is not tied to a date — gift ideas, who is hosting, the recipe you promised to bring.

To-do gives checkboxes, which is what December actually needs. Wrapping, shopping, shipping and baking are all tasks with a deadline.

The Rest of Winter

The other winter months use the same seven layouts:

• Printable November calendar — the month before, with Thanksgiving marked
• Printable January calendar — New Year’s Day and MLK Day marked
• Winter calendar — the whole season on one page
• Christmas countdown calendar — count down the days
