Mistletoe and Poinsettia Coloring Pages

Last Updated: November 5, 2026

Welcome to my Mistletoe and Poinsettia coloring pages section.

Poinsettias and mistletoe couldn't be more different: one is a shrub from sunny Mexico and the other is a plant that grows high in bare winter trees.

Poinsettias

Those red "petals" on a poinsettia aren't petals at all. They're colored leaves, and the real flowers are the tiny yellow buds in the middle. In Mexico, where poinsettias grow wild, the plant is called the Christmas Eve flower.

Mistletoe

Mistletoe doesn't grow in the ground. It lives high up on tree branches and sends its roots right into the tree. Hanging a sprig over a doorway at Christmas is an old English tradition, and anyone caught standing under it got a kiss.

About the Artist/Author:

Hello! I'm Leanne, the creative mind behind coloring.ws. I love nothing more than enjoying a warm cup of tea and a quiet day with a good friend. Here’s a bit more about me:

Things I Love:

Drawing: My happy place is with a pencil in hand, bringing ideas to life on paper.
Early Childhood Education: I absolutely adore those early, eager-to-learn years with kids. Their curiosity and enthusiasm are infectious!
Mythology: From Greek gods to Aztec legends, I’m fascinated by the stories that have shaped cultures.
History: Exploring the past helps me understand the present and dream about the future.

Things I Have a Love/Hate Relationship With:

Technology: I love how it connects us and makes things easier, but why does it have to change so quickly?
Trivia Nights: I'm your go-to person for fun facts, yet somehow, I always end up in second or third place. Frustrating!
Gardening: I like to think I have a green thumb, but it has a few brown speckles. My plants and I are working on it.
Animals: I adore my pets and they bring me so much joy, but oh, the chores! Why can’t they clean up after themselves?

I earned my degree back in the early '90s, and as a lifelong learner, I continue to delve into the things I love. This includes technology (though I struggle to keep up!), art, early childhood education, history, and mythology as it relates to sociology.

I know that while the coloring pages are largely for kids, many of you visiting the site are educators and caregivers. I’ve tried to share some interesting trivia tidbits and fun facts to make your visit enjoyable too. Happy coloring!
