Christmas would you rather questions

Gingerbread house or decorated cookies, sledding or ice skating, the stocking first or the biggest present first: these questions put everyone in the holiday spirit, from little kids to grandparents. They cover trees, carols, sweaters, gift swaps, Christmas crackers and Santa's workshop, and none of them question whether Santa is real, so you can play in front of kids who still write him letters.

How to play over the holidays

  • In the living room, put the page on the TV and have everyone vote with a show of hands. Tap the winning option to highlight it.
  • Advent questions. From December 1 to 24, ask one question each morning at breakfast, like opening a door on an Advent calendar.
  • Holiday dinner guesses. Each guest predicts the choice of the person sitting next to them. Right answers earn an extra cookie at dessert.

Any suggestions for improvement?

We build tools that are as simple and intuitive as possible, with a few bonuses here and there. Tell us what would make this one better.

For families, classrooms and office parties

  • In class, during the last week before winter break, use one question as a morning warm-up or a quick opinion-writing prompt.
  • At the office party, these questions are an easy icebreaker and pair well with a Secret Santa gift exchange.
  • On a video call with faraway relatives, everyone opens the page at home and takes turns sharing their answer.
  • At a holiday open house, leave the page on a tablet near the cookies and let guests play as they come and go.

Questions

Are these Christmas questions okay for young kids?

Yes. They are written for all ages and never question whether Santa Claus is real.

Can teachers use them before winter break?

Yes. One question a day in December makes a popular routine, and each one can start a short class debate or writing prompt.

How many Christmas questions are there?

More than 40, all different from the other categories. The counter below the boxes shows how far you have gone.

Can we play with family over a video call?

Yes. One person shares their screen or reads each question aloud, and everyone answers in turn or in the chat. It is an easy way to include relatives who cannot travel for the holidays.

Are these would you rather questions free?

Yes. The page is free, funded by ads, and needs no account or app. It works in your browser.
