These funny Christmas jokes for kids are an easy and silly way to get them into the holiday spirit.
Instead of having my boys sing “Jingle bells Batman smells”, I much prefer to have them repeat the clean holiday humor you’ll find in this post while they wait for Santa to arrive. 😂
Plus:
There are so many fun ways to use these hilarious Christmas jokes for kids:
- Write down the jokes on some cute holiday sticky notes (I love these ones!) and put them in your child’s lunch box or Christmas stocking “from the elves”
- Use them at holiday classroom parties.
- Tell jokes around the Christmas tree or at Christmas dinner.
- Use them as part of your elf on the shelf antics
- Write them in homemade Christmas cards to grandparents from the kids.
Get ready for lots of laughs with these silly reindeer jokes, corny Christmas puns and even Christmas dad jokes.
And be sure to bookmark or pin this post so you can easily come back to it each time you need a little holiday humor for the kids. 👇
