57+ Cute Christmas Bullet Journal Ideas
Looking for cute Bullet Journal ideas to get you in the holiday mood? Youโre in the right place!
Christmas is just over two months away (or at least it is when I write this post), which is the perfect time to start planning and Christmas-up our journals.
Iโve been Bullet Journaling since 2018, and the holidays are still my favorite season to fill pages with. Below, I gathered my favorite Christmas Bullet Journal spreads, from gift trackers to cozy doodles, that are both fun and genuinely useful.
Youโll also find inspiration for adding a happy holiday mood to your pages, whether youโre a minimalist or love decorating every little corner.
The holiday season is always hard, since I live abroad, and it’s not easy to go home for that time. Plus, in many countries I’ve lived in, people don’t even celebrate Christmas.
But I find a lot of happiness in bringing Christmas to my Bullet Journal instead, and using my day-to-day planning as a motivation to get into a cheerful holiday spirit.
This post has everything you need to create the most Christmasy Bullet Journal setup ever! It starts with page ideas and ends with doodle tutorials and Christmas-themed stationery.
I’m also including a Plan With Me video of Christmas Bullet Journal spreads, so scroll down and check it out.
I also created a Christmas sticker sheet you can download from the Resources Vault.

11 Cute Christmas Bullet Journal Page Ideas
I’ve thought for a long time about ways you can bring Christmas to your pages and create special holiday-themed spreads that keep you happy and relieve some stress during holiday prep.
Come the weekend, Iโll definitely be lost in my bujo, creating some of these spreads to get myself in the mood!
Here are some pages I created myself, along with layouts from other amazing creators, to inspire different styles and aesthetics.
Quote Page
Quote pages are a great way to add the mood to your Bullet Journal and bring together the monthly theme; moreover, they are a great way to fill empty pages you might have between your other spreads.
OK, technically this isn’t much of a quote, but I think it is good enough to create a holiday mood.
It was also the first time I used Crayola Super Tips, and I must say I’m really loving the Christmas mood these colors gave me. It’s not the pens in the picture because I left my Crayola pens behind when I moved again, and I still miss them every day.
I love this quote idea and the color match, an absolutely perfect combination.
This will also make a great homemade Christmas card.
A beautiful example of how you can create something warm and nice even without any colors and with simple lettering.
I like that the creator used little patterns and colors for the gifts at the bottom. I think it adds a good contrast and a lot of interest to the layout. Wonderful trick if you’re doing a spread or doodles with just one pen.
Countdown
When I was a kid, my parents would buy me a chocolate Christmas calendar every December. Each day on the calendar had a little piece of chocolate hidden inside, and it was an absolute pleasure to count down to the best holiday ever, with the added bonus of a delicious choco!
This spread gives you the same effect: it will remind you every day that youโre one step closer to the X-day, and every day youโll be building up your excitement by filling up this tracker.
This is basically like a coloring page. I drew some Christmas doodles, and each day I’ll have one image to color.
One thing I want to note is that I added a grey shadow to the word Christmas, and now, looking at this layout, I think I should’ve done the same for every doodle. This simple effect makes the text or doodles pop off the page.
It also has a productive side to it. This spread will remind you daily how much more time you have for all the preparations so you can schedule all your to doโs accordingly. โOh but Masha, for that we already have a monthly logโ youโd say!
Well, yes, we do, but be honest – do you look at your monthly log daily? I certainly donโt, and I guess thatโs why my every month just flies by! However, youโll definitely be checking this tracker every day.
Here is another cute little idea: turn your countdown into an advent calendar. Add something special behind each day: a message for yourself, a fun activity to do, or a little gift to get.
Gift List
One of the most important things about Christmas is presents. Okay, as an adult, I know thatโs not really what matters most, but ask little Masha, and she will tell you it totally is!
Maybe itโs not the most important thing, but you definitely donโt want to forget to buy something cute and special for your family and loved ones.
Thatโs why you definitely need a gift list!
You can store gift ideas here, or list the people you want to buy presents for and tick them off as you go.
I personally live far away from my family and most of my friends. Honestly, the holiday season is pretty hard when you start missing them even moreโฆ But back to the point: I donโt need a gift list, I just need to buy one gift (gifting policy among expats isn’t really common, especially since most people leave for the holidays).
But I do need to make sure I send my love to all the important people. So for me, itโll be a โsend my best wishesโ list.
Recipe Page
I would say that food is one of the core things at Christmas. Bonding with loved ones while enjoying a succulent dinner just sounds like the real magic of Christmas.
Of course, we all have a set of dishes we make every year (gravy and chocolate cake for me, preferably separate).
However, sometimes you just want to try out something new, so why not write it down in a special holiday-themed spread?!
When it comes to my Christmas dinner – definitely no experiments this year! Last year, for dessert, I cooked marshmallow yam casserole, and later I discovered Iโm not a huge fan of yams, so that was quite a failure.
But back to this recipe page – I might try this one. I’m not a great baker, but gingerbread cookies are such a seasonal staple; I really miss them.
Christmas Cards List
Christmas mail is definitely something you need to keep up with. Sending the cards to your friends and loved ones on time is an important way to say you care to people who, unfortunately, arenโt physically next to you.
So this list will be useful and a nice reminder of how many people you love.
Movies To Watch
When I was growing up, Christmas was a great time for TV. Channels showed all the best movies.
That was my chance to watch some classics of all genres again – from Die Hard to The Lord Of The Rings. Plus, of course, an endless amount of Christmas movies like Love Actually.
I know for sure that for every one of us (ok maybe not everyone, but you know what I mean), Christmas is special movie time.
Make a list of all those holiday movies that make you happy and bring joy, and treat yourself to a popcorn and movie night!
I love this list, and I’ve never actually seen a few of the interesting movies. The header is great, and the idea of adding a separator line between the text and the list is fun.
The doodles are super cute, but you might as well use some stickers.
A fun way to track your Christmas movies is to add little movie posters instead of just making a list.
I don’t know what this creator used, but I love my HP Sprocket printer; it needs no ink, prints easily, and the paper already has a sticker on the back, so you can add it to your journal right away.
Bucket List
December brings lots of fun activities, many of which are made even better by the holiday joy.
I know I miss out on many things because I keep working and working and forget to think outside the box when it comes to my free time.
Having a Christmas bucket list is a great idea.
Itโll help you to completely immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit and not miss out on any fun!
If you’re into watercolor, this page will definitely be a great inspiration. It seems like even the text is written in watercolor, and I absolutely love it!
Watercolor creates such gentle colors; I think they are perfect for this layout, and they really create a cozy, homey feel.
This was my very first Christmas bucket list. Yes, I don’t have a lot of activities here, but that might be a good thing, too.
The season is very busy, so it might feel less overwhelming to have just a few things and fit them in than to make a very large list and then feel overwhelmed trying to start with all the fun stuff you have planned.
Here is an idea for a bucket list with a completely different aesthetic, and I think it works perfectly.
I always find that kraft paper creates a special, elevated aesthetic, and it especially fits the cold months, which December definitely is.
Christmas Favorites List
A great way to stay happy and find some peace during these hectic pre-holiday days is to make a list of things you actually love about December. A list of all the songs, foods, and activities you enjoy the most this month.
Remember all those cozy evenings with a hot cup of mulled wine next to the blinking lights of your Christmas tree? Donโt all these things deserve a special happy spread?
All you need is a list; keep it as simple as you want.
No matter how you create this spread, it will bring you joy and lots of positive memories.
The ice effect of this list is pretty cool. It uses my favorite trick: white text on top of a black rectangle.
For this, I definitely can’t recommend enough this white gel pen.
Songs are definitely a big part of Christmas, so I’m adding this page in this section.
This is a double-sided page: a list of favorite Christmas music and prompts for a December doodling challenge. Double the fun!
Stocking-filling pages
When I was a kid, the best part of my December day was running to the living room in the morning to check the stocking for a little chocolate bar or another cute gift.
Create the same sense of wonder for your loved ones with this spread of little gift ideas. If I had to choose for myself, I would totally go with tons of stationery.
Christmas Planning
I created some planning pages for Thanksgiving dinner, but I think they’d be pretty useful for Christmas, too.
Especially if you’re a parent, this can be a great list to help you.
Christmas Memories Page
These pages are great for preserving warm, happy Christmas memories, and they will be nice to look back on later.
With how my Christmas usually happens, I don’t actually have any memory pages. Usually, I spend Christmas at home cooking and watching Grenlibs two, so there’s not much to build a full memory page around.
However, I have this wonderful layout below to share with you by a very talented creator.
Plan With Me: Christmas Bullet Journal Spreads
Watch me set up 7 out of these 11-page ideas in my Bullet Journal.
Since one of these pages is the countdown with tons of Christmas doodles, this can also count as a Doodle With Me video.
How To Decorate Your Bullet Journal
Just creating Christmas-related pages is not enough! I require more, more, MORE Christmas!
For nutty people like me, I have some ideas here on how to decorate your usual Bullet Journal spreads with the symbols of the upcoming holiday.
Lettering
December is a perfect time to letter something holiday-themed.
Decorate your planning pages with lyrics of your favorite Christmas songs or quotes from Christmas movies. Theyโll bring warmth to your heart every time you see them.
Lettering is always a great way to elevate any layout, or even just fill empty space on your existing pages. There are so many amazing Christmas quotes to choose from, or you can simply add lettering in a holiday color scheme.
Headers
Of course, the best way to add Christmas to your pages is to make holiday-themed headers.
Try out some of these ideas.
I came up with a few cute and simple ideas you can use in your weekly spreads.
I feel like you always need more inspiration for weeklies since you have to create so many.
I really love this dark Christmas vibe here. Also, a great example of how much you can do with just one type of pattern.
It is a fun creativity challenge – try out one pattern of design elements from the holiday and use it to come up with as many fun concepts as you can. For Christmas, try candy cane like this creator, or maybe gingerbread candy, for example.
This creator is really rocking holiday header ideas.
I love the idea of making all the Christmas decorations into fun headers. Super cute Christmas Groot as well.
You can also check out this video tutorial for more ideas.
Doodles
I simply canโt wait to start on Christmas doodles! Doodles are great therapy and a great way to add character to your pages.
So make sure you add something holiday-themed to your planning pages and make them that much happier.
I love this and the style without any black lines. Lenny also has such a lovely doodling style; all of these are so cute.
This is why I keep adding doodles from different creators; even if the doodle is the same, it will always look different because every artist has a unique style.
I love these step-by-step doodles because they demonstrate so well how everything derives from basic shapes.
That is why I always say anyone can doodle; you just need to start seeing things as basic shapes, and you’ll be able to draw anything you want.
Technically, this is a countdown spread, not a page with doodles, but since my countdown is a set of Christmas doodles, I thought it would fit in the doodles category as well.
These aren’t tutorials, but they can be a set of inspirations and ideas for your holiday drawings.
Another set of doodles that demonstrate a simple trick – if you make your doodles chunkier and a bit more rounded, they will end up looking hella cute!
I also find it adorable how small are the cute little arms of the gingerbread man.
Lovely and very easy-to-draw doodles. I’m also really in love with the colors used here; they are so perfectly Christmas.
Now that you see these doodles, let me share my favorite trick to make them even cuter: make them smaller. This automatically adds to the adorable factor of everything you draw.
I don’t usually use pencils for doodling, but this spread definitely makes me want to try.
You can get such a cool gradient effect with pencils!
So darn cute! These doodles will make great decorations for any December pages.
I like how, from just this one page, you can get so many different theme ideas.
This one seems like a more elaborate one, but if you simply follow the steps, you’ll find that it’s much easier than you thought.
Stickers And Washi Tapes
It’s a wonderful time to use those stashes of holiday-themed stickers and washi tapes. You have just one month a year to do so, so donโt miss out.
Here are some amazing goodies I found on Amazon, and remember you can get them that much faster if you get a 30 days FREE trial of Amazon Prime.
As always, I went to my other favorite stationery shopping spot to brighten you with some of the best holiday-themed goodies: Etsy.
There are so many shops, styles, and designs out there! I compiled a list of my favorite Christmas-themed stickers; check them out in my Etsy storefront sticker list.
Shopping on Etsy is my favorite; they always have unique designs and options for every aesthetic, and it’s fun to support small businesses.
Christmas Bullet Journal Theme Inspiration
Finally – nothing inspires more than the work of other amazing artists, so here are a few holiday-themed Bullet Journal spreads to keep your imagination running.
I’m including inspiration for all the major monthly setup pages, so get ready. A few are from my own journal, but there are also plenty of amazing pages from other talented creators who have their own style and take on the holiday season.
Cover Page
We’re starting, of course, with cover page inspirations, since that’s usually how a monthly setup starts.
That’s a great place to start getting inspired for your next December setup.
I absolutely love this cover page and how easily you can create it with a stencil.
Oops A Daisy UK is one of my favorite stencil shops, and my first stencils were actually from them, so I definitely recommend their products.
Absolutely incredible cover with a beautiful color scheme. Who knew that green and pink work so very well?
I love that the illustration matches the colors of the Christmas decorations used for the flat lay photo.
This is the cover page of one of my December Bullet Journal setups. My theme for that setup was holiday movies, and as you remember, Gremlins came out on Christmas.
That was also the year I watched Gremlins for the first time, and it became my staple holiday movie.
I’m so in love with this cover page; it’s incredibly beautiful and has all the Christmas elements.
I’m also wondering what materials were used to create this spread. I bet it was watercolor.
Grinch is probably the most Christmas thing you can think of, so of course, it makes for a great December Bullet Journal theme.
Monthly Log
Moving on to a monthly log!
There are so many different ways to go with it, and I tried to assemble here monthly logs of all possible styles.
That is a monthly log from the same December when I did the movie theme.
I know The Grinch is also a book, but I was introduced to it through the movie, so I think it still works.
I don’t usually see this format, so I included it.
Also, I thought it was a pretty clever idea to use this candy for a monthly log; it really ended up looking pretty neat!
This spread works as a monthly calendar, but it can also be a cover page.
The colors are absolutely beautiful, especially that red, and I see the creator used Crayola markers.
Crayola Super Tips are affordable, come in so many different color shades, and you can even use them for brush lettering. It’s definitely a worthy addition to your stationery collection.
I think it’s pretty cool how the calendar is in red while the rest of the page is left white.
I’d probably just change one thing, though – I’d use white ink to write in the red monthly log. If you need a recommendation, I’d always go with a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen.
Probably my favorite monthly log design – a huge calendar. There’s something about a monthly calendar log that makes it so clear to me!
And I love the idea of this being a chimney.
Stamping the dates here was really an amazing style choice!
Extra points for the glitter effect on the page. I wonder if you used watercolor or a metallic gel pen. If you are looking for a metallic pen, I will forever recommend Sakura Gelly Roll metallic pens.
I’m really especially in love with the lettering style for the header here.
It’s pretty basic, I know, but with the shadows and the size of the letters, somehow, it looks very different to me, and pretty fun too.
So much Christmas on this page! I love everything about it.
As you can see, the creator also used Crayola Super Tips on this layout; these pens really have all the colors you’ll ever need!
Bullet Journal Trackers
Up next: trackers, which I think are some of the most life-changing pages in your Bullet Journal.
Habit trackers, mood trackers – anything you need, there will be inspiration here.
I think it’s a pretty clever idea to disguise your trackers as Christmas gifts. It really lets the creator fit so many habits onto one page in such a creative way.
I’d also love to see this tracker filled in; I wonder what colors you chose.
My little tracker that year was all about the Elf.
I must admit this wasn’t the best color choice on my side, since it was barely visible when filled out. But that was my sacrifice for the theme!
Isn’t this just a marvelous idea for a mood tracker? And I love how each stocking has its own pattern.
As you can see, the creator added a key at the bottom, assigning a specific color to specific emotions. This is one way to go with a mood tracker; I personally assign colors based on how good or bad the day was.
Beautiful mood tracker, and it fits the holiday theme perfectly. I also love the little mood explanation on the right.
I think it’s a powerful practice to reflect on your moods and what might’ve affected you; it can give you meaningful insight into how you are, how your mood fluctuates, and what you can do to improve it.
For all gingerbread addicts, this can be a fun design to try in your Bullet Journal.
The only thing missing is the key; I don’t really understand what the colors stand for or what moods they represent.
Christmas Weekly Spreads
Now let’s look at weekly spreads and all the possibilities for your December setup.
I am always looking for more inspiration for weekly spreads; after all, you need to create 4-5 each year, and it can be fun to try different layouts.
One page weekly and an illustration.
I love this combo; you get to plan, but you also have an entire page to have fun with creativity.
I love how clean and well-organized this weekly spread is. The format is simple: divide each page into four equal parts.
It’s also a great example of how small details can create a holiday mood.
Here is a little Christmas weekly spread I created. Since December is usually busy, I used one page to organize my to-do list and another to plan the week.
This was also pretty possible because my Nuuna journal has a smaller dot grid and a bit larger pages. That way I can fit much more in one layout.
Vertical weekly spreads are my favorites, and this one is no exception.
It’s pretty fun how you can use just two colors and still make the spread look so interesting.
One more Grinch-themed spread, and these colors are perfect Christmas shades.
I love how well the font matches the theme.
Loving all the holiday elements here, and do you see that little message hidden in the Christmas lights?
I’m also really in love with the beautiful lettering used for the daily headers.
And there you go, here are ALL the inspirations I found for you, but of course there is always more. However, you already spent so much time on this post, so let’s close this one, and I’ll leave links to some more resources below if you are ready for more ideas.
