Jolly Old St. Nick - Paint by Numbers

There is no more iconic Christmas image than a jolly, laughing Santa Claus. Rosy red cheeks, bright blue eyes, a thick white beard, and that unmistakable red hat against a deep festive red background scattered with gold stars and snowflakes. This Christmas paint by numbers kit captures Santa at his most joyful, and the bold, well-defined sections make it one of the most satisfying festive canvases to paint from start to finish. Whether you're painting it for your own wall or giving it as a Christmas gift, this is a kit that feels right for the season from the very first brushstroke. What Makes This Kit Stand Out The Most Iconic Christmas Design A laughing Santa Claus is the single most recognised Christmas image in the world, making this canvas feel instantly festive and celebratory Bold, Well-Defined Sections The vibrant red background, white beard, and clear facial features break into satisfying, well-defined colour sections that are enjoyable to paint at every skill level A Perfect Christmas Gift This kit makes a thoughtful, creative gift for anyone who loves the season, and the finished canvas looks genuinely festive hanging in any home Everything Included Canvas, acrylic paints, three brushes, and a colour reference guide, ready to open and paint A Note From Our Founder William Murdock, Founder, Paint On Numbers Canada "Start with the red background sections first and let them dry fully before working on the white beard and hat trim. The contrast between the deep red and the bright white is what gives this painting its festive energy, and you want those sections clean and crisp. Paint the face last. The rosy cheeks and blue eyes are the smallest sections, but they are what brings Santa to life, so save them for when you are most focused." What's Included in Every Kit Pre-printed numbered canvas on premium linen blend fabric Full set of pre-mixed acrylic paints, colour-matched to the design Three brushes: fine detail, medium, and broad coverage Printed colour reference guide Easy-to-follow instructions for beginners and experienced painters alike Frequently Asked Questions Is this a good Christmas paint by numbers kit for beginners? Yes. The large red background sections and broad beard areas give beginners plenty of approachable territory to build confidence before moving to the finer facial details. The bold colour contrast between red, white, and skin tones keeps the sections clearly defined throughout. Our expert tips guide is a great read before you start. How long does this kit take to complete? A 40x50 cm canvas typically takes 10 to 15 hours across several sessions. The large background and beard sections move quickly, while the face detail takes more careful attention. Start it in October or early November to have it framed and hanging comfortably before Christmas. Our complete time guide gives estimates at every canvas size. Would this make a good Christmas gift? Yes, it is one of the strongest Christmas gift options in our collection. It works as a kit to give someone to paint over the holiday season, or you can paint it yourself first and gift the finished canvas as a piece of festive wall art. Either way, it lands well. Can I frame this when it's finished? Yes. The stretched-on-frame option arrives ready to hang immediately. The rolled canvas fits standard frame sizes available at most Canadian home stores, including Michaels. A finished Santa portrait looks genuinely festive in an entryway, living room, or anywhere you decorate for Christmas. Looking for more Christmas designs?
