How to play at a Christmas party
- Classic. Read a question, everyone picks, then the most passionate person on each side explains why. That’s where the laughs are.
- Two sides of the room. Point to the kitchen for one answer and the tree for the other. Great for big parties and office mixers.
- Guess the host. Before the host answers, everyone guesses their pick. A point for each right guess.
- Dinner table round. One question per person between courses. It keeps the conversation light and away from the topics that start arguments.
- Group chat. Drop one question a day in the family or team chat from December 1. Our funny would you rather questions for work keep it going after the holidays.
Which questions fit which crowd?
| Crowd | Best sections | Tip |

| Friends’ holiday party | All five sections | Ask for the story behind each answer |
| Family with grown kids | Hosting, family and in-laws, just for fun | Let the hosts go first |
| Couples’ game night | Hosting, gifts and wrapping | Guess your partner’s answer before they say it |
Why grown-up Christmas questions are so fun
Kids’ Christmas questions are about sleigh rides and snowmen. Grown-up Christmas is about whether there’s enough tape, who’s sleeping on the air mattress and why the turkey needs another 45 minutes. Everybody at the party has a story about at least one of these, and that’s what makes the game work. Honestly, half the fun is finding out who wraps on December 24 and who’s done by Thanksgiving.
Want to keep the whole family playing? The family game night page has ideas for mixed ages, and the would you rather questions for adults cover the rest of the year.
What most hosts get wrong
Picking questions that poke at real family tension. “Would you rather spend Christmas Eve with your family or your in-laws?” is funny when everyone laughs, and less funny if someone’s still upset about last year. Read the room, skip the ones that might sting, and lean on the hosting, wrapping and just-for-fun sections when you’re not sure.
