Christmas Trivia Game Printables
Are you hosting a Christmas party this year and want to add a bit of excitement to the crowd? This Christmas Trivia Game is ready to help. Even Mr. Grumpy Pants will want to get involved with this one so he can share his vast knowledge!
When I asked my husband if we should gather supplies for the Toilet Paper Snowman Game, for our Christmas Eve party, he replied with, ‘please, no. ‘ I’m thinking it’s too much work for him. We’ll save that one for the teenagers! Then, my sister called and asked if I had any Christmas Game ideas. So, I dug into my archives and pulled this one out to revamp and beautify!
Who Is This Game Good For?
This Christmas Trivia Game will work for just about any Christmas party and any age. The trivia questions may be a bit challenging for younger children, but they can certainly try to participate and get in on the action. I have used this game for family Christmas parties, but it would also work well for work parties, youth groups, classrooms, and more!
Many of the trivia questions relate to Christmas Movies, and I’ve found that those who have watched Christmas movies typically do the best.
If you’re looking for a Christmas game that will get people talking, you’ll love this Shake Up The Conversation Christmas Game.

Handing trivia cards to your guests who guess correctly makes it easy to determine the winner!
This game is so simple, but sure to bring a little excitement to your party. Even for the husbands who don’t want to wrap toilet paper around someone to build a snowman! Someone might actually learn a thing or two, too!
Game Prize Ideas
Don’t forget the prize! Be sure to display the prize so party guests know what they’re working for. I generally aim to have prizes that are worth at least $10, but you get to make the rules for your party!
- A gift card to a local favorite is always a hit. Just be aware of Gift Card Scams. Thankfully, Target now adds sticker bar codes to their gift cards right at the register, and most people like to shop at Target since they have such a wide variety. Costco is also a safe bet. Any business that keeps its gift cards out of reach should be okay.
- You could also create a Smarty Pants Basket and include things like Smart Water, Smarties Candy, and Fake Glasses.
- Another fun thing to do is to create a basket full of items for game winners to choose from. If you’re planning multiple games, this is an easy solution. This basket could include a few gift cards to different places, festive things like candy or a Santa hat, or even a card game. You might also want to throw in a bit of cash, in the form of Christmas Dough, and see what gets chosen first.
It’s been my experience that party guests always choose the gift card or cash first. They are willing to play in order to win a gift card they can spend later!
