Inside: 5 Christmas acrostic poem ideas for any project this holiday season.
It’s officially the Christmas season! We’re in full swing in decorations, festivities, parties, shopping, and planning for the big day. Who isn’t already filled with joy and cheer for Christmas this year?
Using poems of different kinds for a variety of festive projects is a great way to personalize a gift a little more as well as make it more fun. Acrostic poems are super simple options, and great for kids to either read as poetry or write it themselves when making cards to attach to their projects.
If you’re a teacher and have kids in the classroom or if you have kids of your own to get started on some fun Christmas projects, these are going to be perfect.
An acrostic poem is using each of the letters in a chosen word to create linear poetry and make a poem out of the word itself! Still a little lost? Here are 5 examples for you!
Maybe you’re stuck on a letter, trying to come up with something that works with the rest of the poem you’ve already written. But that’s the fun of an acrostic poem. They don’t have to be coherent or flow like a poem at all. It can simply just be using each letter to refer to a word that reminds you of Christmas. However, if you do find the words to use to create a whole actual poem in an acrostic style, then you are a poetry champion!
Acrostic poetry is perfect for projects at school before the bell rings, or to write a poem to a kid in your life that loves to read poetry.
As you’re preparing gifts, think about all the ways that you can personalize it with a poem this year.
How To Use These Christmas Acrostic Poem Ideas
Obviously poetry isn’t necessarily something functional or something that has to be “used” once it’s written. Acrostic poems though are usually written for fun and are perfect ways to creatively write a card or something fun for a place setting at a Christmas party dinner. Maybe even a secret Santa reveal? How fun would that be! Using little witty poems makes gifting a little more personalized and a lot more festive. Especially when you give a gift that isn’t very Christmassy, it can add all the festive flair you need.
Let your poetry be poetry, but as you write, if you have fun ideas to use it, everyone loves a good poem.
Kids love to use these as introductions to writing poetry and in the Christmas season, everything is Christmas related so it’s an easy one to get them involved in and get their brains reeling on ideas for Christmas themed words to write a Christmas acrostic poem.
Have fun with these and let your acrostic poetry do the talking this year.

Carol singing in the frosty air,
Holly wreaths are everywhere.
Reindeer galloping across the sky,
Icy cold snowflakes twirling by.

A baby in a manger cot.
Star that guides kings all the way

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year for many reasons, but one of my favorites is the fact that anything and everything is Christmas themed. Everywhere you go.
So filling out words that start with a “C”, then an “H”, then an “R”… you get it. Is easy to do because there are just so many Christmas themed things out there during the season. Christmas lights, Hot Chocolate, Reindeer… the list goes on and on and on. These are easy projects to take on and everyone will have fun with them.
I hope you have the most beautiful holiday season inspired and brought to life by poetry. Once you start digging in the wormhole that is Christmas poetry, it’s hard to come out! Much like the Christmas movie marathon we binge annually.
Once Christmas is over, the fun doesn’t stop. Here are 13 chill winter acrostic poems to continue writing poetry into the winter season!
