Let’s dive into the top 10 paint by numbers kits that’ll have you humming “Let It Snow” in no time!
Embrace the Warmth: Winter Indoor Candles
There’s something downright magical about curling up indoors with the soft flicker of candlelight while the snowflakes tap on your window. Fun fact: science says candlelight actually calms your nervous system and sparks creativity (take that, stress!). So painting a glowing winter candle scene? Double win.
Imagine this: three vibrant yellow-orange candles flickering in glass holders decorated with delicate snowflakes. Surrounding them, blue hydrangeas and sprigs of evergreen create a cool counterpoint to all that warmth. Outside, a soft sky blankets a gentle snow scene in blues and whites, serene and hush-like. This is your invitation to a moment where warm meets winter cold—a real visual hug.
Savoring Winter’s Sweetness: Marshmallow Coffee on the Windowsill
Is there ever really a bad time for a mug brimming with hot chocolate piled high with marshmallows? Nope. This scene practically oozes hygge—a Danish concept that means “cozy togetherness,” except you can enjoy this solo with your paintbrush.
This winter paint by numbers kit captures the moment perfectly: a bright red mug, marshmallows melting just right, steam curling up like a warm little whisper. Nearby, festive Christmas cookies—a gingerbread man looking extra jolly, a shining star, and a round favorite—add a sprinkle of holiday cheer. Beyond the window, snowy pine trees bask in twilight’s soft glow. Trust me, painting this is almost as comforting as sipping the real thing…almost.
A Heartwarming Christmas Moment: Santa Claus and Elk
Santa’s not always busy ticking off the naughty list—sometimes he’s just soaking up some quality time with his trusty elk sidekick. Here’s a quirky tidbit: the rosy-cheeked, jolly Santa we all adore got his look thanks to 19th-century advertising—not from elves making toys.
Use our Christmas Paint by Numbers kit to paint your own classic holiday scene with Santa’s bright red-and-white suit glimmering with metallic touches. His flowing beard and warm smile practically invite you to share a secret. The elk leans into the moment like an old friend—majestic antlers and all. The soft reds and browns blend like a Christmas lullaby.
Whimsical Winter Joy: Smiling Snowman Wearing Thick Scarf
Remember how building a snowman was the ultimate winter victory as a kid? This kit brings that nostalgia straight to your canvas—minus the cold fingers!
Meet your new cheerful snowman friend: three fluffy snowballs stacked just right, bright blue eyes twinkling, a carrot nose pointing skyward, and a grin that says, “Let’s have some fun!” Sporting a jaunty dark blue and orange hat plus a matching scarf, he’s the epitome of cozy charm. The swirling, Van Gogh-esque blue-and-white sky behind him practically moves with winter magic. This featured paint by number winter scene kit is a perfect gift for children.
A Cheerful Winter Stroll: Colorful Houses and People in the Snow
There’s a kind of festive buzz when neighborhoods get blanketed in snow—the crunch of boots, laughter of children, twinkling windows keeping secrets. This joyful paint by numbers kit captures that lively charm with bold strokes and bright colors.
A cobblestone street lined with houses painted in bright blue, sunny yellow, cheerful green, and warm red each crowned in snow. Silhouettes of bundled-up folks and mischievous kids skipping through the snow add movement and cheer. Street lamps sprinkle golden halos on the falling flakes, like a warm whisper in the cold. If your heart skips at holiday storybooks, you’re going to fall for this.
Serene Winter Waters: Wild Ducks Beside River
Watching ducks go about their business on a chilly riverbank might not sound like a party, but trust me, it’s nature’s own slow-dance. Male mallards start their courting rituals in winter—head shakes, winks, and water dips galore.
This paint by numbers kit beautifully captures a pair of mallards: the male flaunting his iridescent green head like a tuxedo at a gala, the female blending softly into the frosted landscape. The water reflects the soft winter sky with an almost hypnotic shimmer. It’s like a tranquil poem in paintbrush form.
Quiet Winter Watch: Squirrel Under a Pine Tree
Red squirrels are the feisty little celebrities of the winter woods—bushy tails and twitchy eyes making them impossible to ignore. Known for being sprightly and resourceful, these critters embody winter resilience.
In this paint by numbers winter scene kit, you’ll paint a crisp scene: a keen-eyed red squirrel perched on a snow-dusted tree trunk, a tiny mushroom adding a dash of woodland whimsy nearby. Pine branches lean softly above, dusted with snow. Perfect for anyone who loves nature’s subtle details and a splash of furry mischief.
Radiant Winter Glow: Giant White Christmas Tree
Nothing says festive season like a towering, glowing Christmas tree twinkling against a starry night. This tradition dates back to 16th-century Germany and has since become a beacon of hope and cheer worldwide.
This beginner-friendly paint by numbers kit invites you to paint a majestic white Christmas tree shimmering with hints of gold, crowned by a radiant star. The soft edges and glowing brushstrokes evoke a dreamy snowfall and twinkling bulbs, while a calm cityscape twinkles faintly in the background. It’s like wrapping yourself in a warm festive blanket—without the tinsel.
A Winter Adventure: Revel in the Dreamy Aurora
The Aurora Borealis has dazzled humans for millennia—once thought to be spirits dancing in the sky, now we know they're charged particles showing off in Earth’s atmosphere. Whatever the explanation, painting the northern lights is like capturing magic itself.
This paint by numbers winter kit invites you to blend deep blues, purples, greens, pinks, and oranges in a watercolor-style winter panorama. Snowy mountains stand silent beneath the swirling lights, and icy rivers reflect the sky’s spectacular dance. Luckily, this kit is friendly for beginners, so you can create your own slice of celestial wonder without needing a telescope.
Tranquil Winter Dawn: Sunrise Over the Frozen River
There’s an undeniable hush on early winter mornings—just before the world wakes up. This scene takes you there, with pinkish skies blending into warm orange and cold greys over a frozen river.
The moody, impressionistic vibe echoes masters like Monet but with a modern chill. Boats glide quietly, buildings don winter coats of snow, and bare trees sketch black lines against the soft sky. Painting this kit invites you into a quiet nostalgia, perfect for those who savor solitude and first sips of coffee.
Wrap Up Your Winter in Artful Warmth
As the year winds down and winter deepens, it’s these little joys—the flicker of candlelight, a snowman’s grin, or the peaceful glide of ducks—that remind us to slow down and savor. Painting these scenes offers more than just color therapy; it’s your personal winter retreat, a creative pause button in the hustle and cold.
So, why not make this your coziest winter yet? Grab your favorite kit, brew a warm drink (marshmallows optional but highly encouraged), and dive into the magic of a paint-by-numbers winter wonderland. Your creative heart—and maybe even your mood—will thank you.
