Candy Cane Forest Coloring Page

What's in the Picture

The scene starts with a towering candy‑cane forest on the left – each striped trunk spirals up like a goofy skyscraper. In the middle sits a sprawling gingerbread house, rooftops frosted and perched on a hill of powdered sugar. A river of hot cocoa curls out of the kitchen window, its surface dotted with fluffy marshmallow islands. On the banks, giant glass ornaments act as boulders, catching imagined light, while a massive string of holiday lights arches overhead, tying the forest and house together.

Coloring Ideas

Try classic red and white stripes for the candy‑cane trunks, then splash in some bright greens for the leaves that might peek out. The gingerbread house loves warm browns, creamy whites, and a dash of pastel icing colors. For the cocoa river, a deep chocolate hue with a bit of white swirl can suggest steam, and the marshmallow islands look great in soft pastel pinks or blues. The glass ornaments are perfect for sparkles – use a light gray outline and let kids fill them with any shiny shade they like. And don’t forget the holiday lights; bright yellows, blues, and reds make a cheerful bridge across the sky.
