Clever Christmas quiz ideas please

I'm hosting a pub quiz at Christmas. I need some ideas for rounds that are Christmas themed but not all 'name the 3 wise men' etc....

Any ideas very gratefully received please!

guess the celebrity pictures? With names that have a festive link eg Noel Edmonds

Name famous people born on 25 December, eg "Prime Minister till recently, still in the public eye for very different reasons " (Justin Trudeau)

How about ‘who said it: Donald Trump or Buddy the Elf?’

You may need to update the Trump ones with some clangers from the last year or two, as the online examples will be quite old now!

Christmas music round. You could choose songs from famous Xmas films and they have to name the song and the film
Christmas Number ones?

This one is sort of Christmassy! I did a 'Dickens or Chickens' round last year at ours (I didn't invent it) where people have to guess whether a name is a Dickens character or a breed of chicken.

You could also do one where you give the first part of a Xmas cracker type joke and they have to guess the answer? We do this on Xmas day
you could do one where you have photos of actors who have played Santa in their costumes and they have to guess who they are?

Ones I have done that have gone down well.
Father Christmas picture round - pictures of different father Christmas's from films - name the film and name the actor.

Another picture round was Christmas song or Christmas film emojis round (there are suggestions online but also fun to come up with your own)

Christmas cracker joke round - so you ask the question of the joke - eg what do you call Father Christmas's dog - they then have to provide the answer.

I have also done a Christmas through time one - eg what year were Christmas crackers invented etc. The Bill Bryson book on Xmas is brill for that.

Also fun to do a local to you Christmas round - find out Christmas related facts for your local area - often will be multiple choice - eg which year was the last white Christmas in xx

@emmaliz -snap! 🤶🏼

Name the Christmas song and artist from a couple of lines of lyrics (written down or read out)

ApolloandDaphne · 12/11/2025 19:11

Lots of great ideas here for a Christmas quiz! Thanks

Picture round with stills from Christmas films, or videos of Christmas songs.

Clementine12 · 12/11/2025 20:45

A round of pictures of Christmas traditions from different countries. Guess which country. KFC for Japan, Krampus for Germany etc

PortSalutSherryHello · 13/11/2025 07:41

Thanks everyone. This is what I'm finding, picture rounds are so much better!!

Badly translated christmas songs... basically translate a song into a foreign language, and then back into English.
