The 25 Best Christmas Jokes for Kids
Our 7-year-old son is a big fan of jokes and riddles. As Iโve mentioned before, he really gets a kick out of memorizing them and sharing them with others - especially when weโre gathered together with extended family. So weโre constantly keeping our ears open for new favorites.
And because weโll be getting together with family a lot this month, that makes the Christmas holidays the perfect time for a new collection of kids jokes here on Dad Suggests. Heโs definitely going to need more joke ammunition for all of the upcoming Christmas parties.
But, if youโve ever looked up kids jokes before, youโre probably well-aware that finding good jokes can be quite a challenge. Joke books for kids are very hit-and-miss, and theyโre often full of groan-inducing puns that are so forced itโs hard to imagine they were ever put down in print. On the flip side, sometimes joke books are so bad that it actually becomes entertaining again to bask in their awfulness - so at least thereโs that.
And if youโre looking for jokes that fit a theme - like Christmas - it makes the task monumentally harder. Now youโre going to run into jokes that not only barely qualify as humor, but also quite often have the Christmas theme tacked on as an afterthought. Just as an example, here is our all time favorite terrible joke:
Whatโs green and sour and delivers presents all over the world? Santa Pickle.
Even when my son and I turned to our favorite joke bot - the Amazon Alexa - for a Christmas joke, we were tremendously disappointed with the number of adult jokes, outright duds, and puns he didnโt understand. And, quite frankly, understanding them often doesnโt help their case for existing very much.
So my mission with this article is to provide you with a curated list of family-friendly Christmas jokes that naturally fulfill two qualifications:
1) They are winter and Christmas-themed without feeling forced.
2) They are legitimately humorous to my 7-year-old son and I.
We hope you find some new Christmas jokes for you and the little ones to add to their holiday party arsenal! There are exactly 25 jokes in this collection so feel free to use them as your very own Christmas joke Advent calendar. And Merry Christmas to your family from ours!
