This was clearly an updated autumn crossword puzzle. Still fun to do but there are multiple fall themed words still intact (turkey, fall) and many partial words (leaves, football, pumpkin etc). It makes finding the Christmas words confusing. For a free printable it’s fine but just be aware if you’re doing this with littles.
Hi Alicia- Thank you so much for your feedback! We can totally see how the left over fall themed words would be really confusing for younger learners so we edited the word search so that these were removed, hopefully making this easier for kids of all ages to do. : ) I emailed you the link to the updated word search printable!
