How to Play

While you wrap. Ask one question per gift. The wrapper answers, then the person holding the tape answers. You finish the pile and a conversation at the same time.

Party round. Read a question, count to three, and everyone points. The smaller side gets thirty seconds to recruit one person.

Classroom countdown. Use one question a day in December as a thirty-second warm-up. Students answer with a thumb left or right, then one volunteer says why.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these Christmas this or that questions okay for kids?

Yes. They are about gifts, food, decorations and games, with no scares, romance or dares. For a grades K–6 deck year-round, use this or that for kids.

What if someone in the group does not celebrate Christmas?

Use the December question of the day instead. These questions assume a Christmas setting. The food, movie and game picks can still work at a winter party if you skip the tree and gift ones.

How many questions should I use at a party?

Five to ten. Quick picks stay funny when they stay short. Stop while people still want another one, then switch to Christmas trivia or charades.

Do you have longer Christmas dilemmas?

Yes. Christmas would you rather has 48 either-or situations, and the Christmas question of the day has 40 prompts you can run one per morning.
