Seven teenagers have been charged over a Christmas crime spree in north Queensland.

Three boys and four girls, aged between 13 and 17, are facing a total 37 charges including burglary, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, assault and wilful damage.

The teens will be dealt with under the Youth Justice Act.
