Prepare for a Warm Winter with 20 Christmas Words in Korean!🎄

Christmas is just around the corner! 🎄

Hello, BDB Korean learners! The end of the year is quickly approaching. Christmas is a special day when people around the world share joy and love. In Korea, Christmas is also a delightful day spent with loved ones, whether it’s your family, friends, or that special someone.

Today, we’ll learn 20 essential Korean vocabulary words related to Christmas.  These words, along with handy example sentences, will help you express the holiday spirit in Korean and make your Christmas experience even more meaningful. Let’s get started!

There are two ways to refer to Christmas in Korean. Actually, 크리스마스 is Konglish (a mix of Korean and English), so the pronunciation is almost the same as in English. The other term comes from Chinese characters: 성 (saint), 탄 (birth), and 절 (period or memorial day).

And here are the three people(?) when you think of when you think of Christmas: Jesus, Santa Claus, and the adorable Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! Who are you looking forward to the most?

And here are some words for getting ready for Christmas, and some words for activities you can do on Christmas Day. Right now, you're busy getting ready for Christmas! You're decorating the tree, hanging stockings, and writing Christmas cards.

Moreover, what if there was white snow on Christmas Day? We're going to have a snowball fight on White Christmas and I can't wait!

Let's learn how to say all these words in Korean!

Are you all set to celebrate the holidays? I wish you a very merry Christmas, spending quality time with your loved ones and spreading joy to everyone you meet!

Especially in Korea, we tend to have Christmas parties with friends or dates with our significant others rather than spending time with our families. But guys, if you end up spending Christmas alone in Korea, we hope you don't feel too lonely. There are always people who love and support you even if you don't see them at Christmas! We at BDB Korean are rooting for you too!

Whether you’re in Korea or anywhere else in the world, I hope you have a Christmas filled with blessings while singing joyful carols like “Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells!” Shall we end by giving our Christmas greetings in Korean one last time?

"메리 크리스마스!"
