About the Nice List certificate
Every child hopes to be on Santa's Nice List. With this tool, they get the proof: an official Nice List certificate with their name, signed by Santa Claus at the North Pole, with a gold "Nice List" medal.
Type one name or the names of all your children — or a whole class — one per line. You get one certificate per child in a single PDF, each on its own page. The text is ready, but you can change every line: the title, the reason, the date and the signatures.
The PDF is made in your browser and shown on the right exactly as it prints. Print it on US Letter or A4, landscape.

Four Christmas styles
- North Pole — a red and green double frame with holly in all four corners and a festive title font.
- Candy cane — a red and white striped border, peppermint candies and candy canes in the corners.
- Snowy night — a deep blue band with white snowflakes and soft snow hills at the bottom.
- Gold stars — a gold triple frame with big stars and an elegant script. Lovely to frame.
You can also pick Classic, Modern or Simple for a plain certificate in your own colour.
Ideas for the reason
Write what your child really did this year. It means more than a general line.
- For being a kind and patient big sister
- For helping with the dishes every Sunday
- For being brave at the dentist
- For sharing toys with friends
- For working hard at reading this year
- For being a great helper in our class
For a class, keep the general reason in the Reason box and add a special one to a few names with |.
How to give it
- On Christmas Eve: leave it next to the cookies and milk, with a Letter from Santa.
- In December: give it a week or two before Christmas, as good news from the North Pole.
- At school: print one for every child for the last day before the holidays.
- Roll it up: roll the certificate, tie it with a red ribbon, and put it in the stocking.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Nice List certificate free?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Print as many as you like.
Can I make certificates for several children?
Yes. Type one name per line. Each child gets their own page in the same PDF. A whole class works too — up to 500 names.
Can I change the text?
Yes. Every line is a text box: the title, the line above the name, the reason, the date and the two signatures. To give one child a different reason, write it after a | on their line, like Noah | for being a great big brother.
Who signs the certificate?
"Santa Claus, North Pole" and "Jingle, Head Elf" are ready in the signature boxes. The name before the comma is written in script above the line, like a real signature. Change them or clear the second one.
Which paper should I use?
White or cream card stock looks best. Print at Actual size, landscape, on US Letter or A4.
Does the web address print on it?
No. The "Print the web address" box is not ticked, so the certificate looks like it came straight from the North Pole.
Is my child's name sent anywhere?
No. The PDF is made in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded.
