Here are four simple yet stunning Christmas bulletin board ideas that will make your classroom feel cozy, bright, and full of holiday spirit. Each theme has its own unique style, so there’s something for everyone!

1. Modern Christmas Bulletin Board for a Cozy Display

For a classic, cozy Christmas look, the Modern Christmas theme is the way to go. This board captures the warmth of the season with traditional Christmas colors, a welcoming fireplace cutout, and stockings. Decorate with a timeless Christmas tree, presents, and plaid patterns that give it that homestyle holiday feel. You could even invite students to create their own ornaments to hang on the “tree” to add a unique and personal touch. This setup gives your classroom a comfortable, festive vibe that everyone will love.

Tip: Add some LED lights around the fireplace cutout or the tree to make this board really glow!

This Modern Christmas Bulletin Board Kit even includes cute present sacks that you can add students’ names to! They make adorable additions to your display! Grab the complete kit to create a cozy Christmas in your classroom today!

2. Bright Christmas Lights

If you want a board that’s colorful and eye-catching, the Christmas Lights theme is perfect! This design features a vibrant “banner” of Christmas string lights in a range of bright, festive colors. Large Christmas tree cutouts decorated with multicolored lights add a cheerful pop to the board. This setup is fun, easy to assemble, and brings a burst of color that instantly brightens up any classroom space. Plus, students will love the lively vibe this display brings to their learning environment.

The Christmas Lights Bulletin Board Kit includes 4 sayings to choose from, trees to make your display pop, plus text editable lights to add your students’ names to your display!

3. Christmas Cheer Signs

The Christmas Cheer theme is all about spreading joy in a simple, straightforward way! This setup includes signs with cheerful holiday sayings, making it a super quick board to set up. Add a festive banner made of Christmas ornaments for a touch of sparkle, and decorate with evergreen trees and wrapped gift cutouts. The mix of signs and decor elements gives this display a playful, festive look that everyone will enjoy. It’s also perfect for those who want a hassle-free way to bring the holiday spirit into the classroom!

Tip: Use the different signs as conversation starters or mini writing prompts to get students engaged with the holiday theme. For example, have students brainstorm ways they can spread holiday cheer and share their favorite responses with the class! Or ask students to write down 2 reasons why this season is often called “The most wonderful time of the year.”

This ornament banner is one of my favorites! It’s unique and eye-catching, and very seasonally on-point. This Christmas Cheer Bulletin Board Kit also includes a text editable file with decorative circles on it so you can add your students’ names to the display! And since there are signs included in this kit, there’s no need to cut out individual letters to create the sayings. It makes great December door decor too!

4. Holly Jolly Christmas Bulletin Board Theme

Finally, for a board that’s packed with personality, try the Holly Jolly Christmas theme! This display is full of cheerful charm with Santa cutouts, personality-filled presents, evergreen trees rocking sunglasses, colorful bells, and even disco balls for a playful, retro twist. The kit also includes Santa hats that you can personalize with students’ names, making it feel special and inclusive. This theme is perfect for bringing a bit of humor and joy into the classroom, and it’s sure to make students smile every time they see it.

Tip: Let students help decorate by adding their names to the Santa hats or creating their own holiday-themed cutouts to add to the display.
