Christmas ABC Song for Kids | ABC Christmas Vocabulary Song & Worksheets (ESL/EFL)

  Looking for a cozy Christmas ABC song with printable worksheets for your English class? This “Christmas ABC” song takes children from A to Z with simple Christmas vocabulary like angel, bell, candy cane, and more, all shown in a cute knitted, soft-toy art style that young learners love. It’s perfect for preschool, kindergarten, and lower elementary EFL lessons, winter camps, and holiday parties where you want students to sing the alphabet and build seasonal vocabulary at the same time.

About the Song

The Christmas ABC song follows the alphabet from A to Z, with each letter connected to a clear Christmas word (for example, “A is for angel, B is for bell, C is for candy cane”). The melody is simple and repetitive so even very young learners and beginners can join in quickly. The visuals use a unique knitted, amigurumi-style illustration, which makes each vocabulary word feel like a tiny Christmas toy village—great for keeping kids focused and calm during busy December lessons. Because the song repeats the letter plus the word, it naturally supports letter recognition, phonics (initial sounds), and Christmas vocabulary at the same time.

  • Alphabet focus: A–Z with one clear Christmas word for each letter.
  • Very visual: each word is supported by a warm, detailed knitted scene.
  • Easy to sing: short, repetitive lines that work well for choral reading and echo practice.
  • Flexible use: warm-up song, brain break, transition activity, or vocabulary review.


What’s Included

  • Christmas ABC song video – alphabetical Christmas vocabulary with engaging knit-style animation.
  • Picture Match A–M worksheet – learners match pictures and words such as angel, bell, candy cane, December, elf, fireplace, gingerbread, hot chocolate, ice, jingle bell, kitchen, lights, mittens.
  • Picture Match N–Z worksheet – picture and word matching for night, ornament, present, quilt, Santa, reindeer, Christmas tree, unwrap, visit, winter, X-mas, yummy, zip.
  • Listen & Circle worksheet – students listen to the song and choose the correct word for each picture (great for focused listening and sound–word connection).
  • Missing Letters worksheet – learners complete Christmas words by filling in the missing letters.
  • Mini Story Cloze worksheet – a short Christmas story where students fill in key words, reinforcing both meaning and spelling.
  • Christmas ABC Word Search (hard level) – a 20×20 grid word search using many of the song words, ideal for early finishers or higher-level elementary students.

How to Use in Class

  • Warm-up: Ask simple questions like “What do you see at Christmas?” and write a few key words on the board. Review the alphabet quickly together.
  • First listen: Play the Christmas ABC song without worksheets. Let students just watch the knitted scenes and enjoy the music.
  • Second listen: Pause after some letters and have students guess the word (“A is for…?”). Use gestures for words like zip, unwrap, or hot chocolate.
  • Picture Match: Hand out the A–M and N–Z picture match pages. Students listen again and match the pictures to the correct words, working individually or in pairs.
  • Listening focus: Use the Listen & Circle worksheet. Play one section of the song at a time and give students time to circle the correct word for each picture.
  • Spelling & reading: Move on to the Missing Letters and Mini Story Cloze activities for slightly higher-level students, or as a follow-up in the next lesson.
  • Fast-finisher / review: Give the Christmas ABC Word Search as a fun challenge, homework, or a quiet center activity during December.

FAQ for Teachers

Which age and level is this best for?

This Christmas ABC song and worksheet pack is designed for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary students who are still building confidence with the alphabet and basic vocabulary. It works well in both ESL and EFL classrooms, including language academies, public schools, and homeschool settings where learners benefit from clear visuals and lots of repetition.

How can I fit this into my lesson time?

For a short 20–30 minute lesson, you can use the song as a warm-up, then choose one or two worksheets such as Picture Match or Listen & Circle. If you have a longer 40–50 minute block, add the Missing Letters, Mini Story Cloze, or Word Search as a second-day review or as a center activity during your Christmas unit.

Which classroom environment is this best for? (ESL / EFL)

This Christmas ABC song and worksheet pack can be used in both ESL and EFL classrooms. In English-speaking schools, it works well as a review activity for the alphabet and Christmas vocabulary. In non-English-speaking countries like Korea or Japan (EFL settings), it can be used as a main Christmas lesson resource for kindergarten and early elementary students who are just starting to learn the alphabet in English.

Can I use this even if I already teach a regular ABC unit?

Yes. This resource works perfectly as a seasonal review of the alphabet. Instead of random A–Z words, every letter is connected to a Christmas or winter idea, and the cozy knitted art style helps students remember vocabulary as a set of clear, story-like images. It feels fresh and new for children who already know the alphabet, while still giving them strong practice with letter sounds, spelling, and themed vocabulary.

This Christmas ABC song and printable worksheet pack gives you everything you need for a fun, structured holiday lesson for young English learners. Just play the song, print the pages you need, and enjoy a cozy December English class together.
