This curated collection of Christmas Notion templates will help you wrangle the busy Christmas season and feel festive while doing it.
While the holidays are joyful, they often bring a lot of “to dos”. Here are 7 templates that will help you manage those, from a full to-do list to a party planner, advent calendar journal, gift tracker, and more.
Christmas To-Do List
First up is the Christmas To-Do List template, a template pre-populated with tasks to create your ultimate Christmas to-do list.
What it does: This template comes loaded with the tasks needed to plan holiday travel, organize a Secret Santa gift exchange, shop for and buy gifts, decorate, send Christmas cards, plan Christmas meals and celebrations, and bonus family fun. The tasks include suggested deadlines to spread out the work, but you can customize them to whatever dates work for you. You can view those dates in a calendar and have Notion remind you of deadlines.
Why you’ll love it: This template will help you shed some of the mental load that comes with the abundance of tasks in the holiday season. It helps both by putting down your tasks in writing and by sharing the to-dos with a partner. That’s right, you can assign tasks between you and your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other and divvy them up.
Christmas Party Planner
The Christmas Party Planner template will help you manage guest lists, budgets, menus, and tasks associated with organizing a holiday celebration.
What it does: The template includes pretty much everything you need to do in order to plan a medium- to large-scale Christmas party. You can track expenses and your budget; guests lists and RSVPs; activities and games you’ll play; organize raffle prizes; get a shopping list; organize vendor information; and track menus and recipes.
Why you’ll love it: This template has thought through every detail – down to the age group for event activities; donors for raffle prizes; and stores you need to visit to shop for each item. It will help you organize things you may not have even thought of on your own. It has a nice calendar view and checklist view of your to-dos.
Christmas Card Address Book
If you’re sending Christmas cards this year, the Christmas Card Address Book template will help you organize your contacts, including address updates, to easily send those cards.
What it does: This template is a digital address book that not only stores your friends’ and family’s addresses, but helps you update them. Inevitably, some folks on your list will have moved since last year, or you’ll have new friends to add whose addresses you don’t have yet. The template includes a tracker for the status of every contact/address. It also makes it easy to export the list when you’re ready to print labels or send to your card printer.
Why you’ll love it: This template is clean and simple. Additionally, there is an easy copy/paste message, uniquely generated for each out-of-date contact, to send to your friends to get their new addresses.
Christmas Advent Calendar Journal
This Christmas Advent Calendar is a journaling template designed to help you reflect and take stock of your year as you prepare for 2025.
What it does: This template helps you get your mind ready for 2025. Each Advent calendar day displays a thoughtful question to help you reflect and journal, right in the template.
Why you’ll love it: This daily exercise will help you take a step back from the busy Christmas season and find space for self-reflection and joy. You’ll enjoy the template’s cute and cozy Christmas aesthetic and embedded writing-friendly playlists.
Christmas Shopping List and Budget
The Christmas Shopping List and Budget template is all about tracking your shopping for gifts.
What it does: I couldn’t find a gift tracker template that fit the way I shop for the holidays, so I created this one. Working together with my husband, first we make a list of everyone we’re gifting to. Then we brainstorm gift ideas and pencil in a budget for each gift. For many recipients – like our kids – there will be more than one gift, so I’ve built that in. Then I like to track what we actually spent to stay on budget, and check the boxes as we purchase gifts and wrap them.
Why you’ll love it: This template makes it easy to share the load with a partner and assign and divvy up shopping tasks. It also includes an AI assistant to help you brainstorm when you get stuck on gift ideas for people on your list.
Holiday Anxiety Manager
The Holiday Anxiety Manager is something a little different. If the holidays bring anxiety and mental health issues for you, take a look at this template.
What it does: This template helps you name your stressors, make a plan to take care of yourself, and minimize the struggle. It’s broken into two sections, “list stressors” and “think about strategies”, each of which contains several steps and checklists for you to go through.
Why you’ll love it: The template really guides you through a step-by-step process, starting with a grounding activity, continuing to naming your triggers and stressors, and then thinking about strategies to deal with your stressors. It’s very systematic in order to help you through and jump those hurdles. Also, it’s free!
The Shareable Wish List allows you to make a wish list and share it with friends and family.
What it does: Use this template to create a beautiful list of things you wish for, including price, link, image, and notes (plus anything you want to add). When you share with others, they can click to reserve an item that they plan to purchase. There’s also an option to unclaim if they change their mind.
Why you’ll love it: The template is clean and easy to use. By sharing, you can make sure that multiple people don’t purchase the same item for you – unless you mark an item as “okay with multiples.” It works great with the Save to Notion browser extension for when you’re digitally window shopping, too.
