How to Play

Wrapping-paper vote. Hold up the question, count to three, and point to a side of the room. The smaller side defends their pick while the next gift gets wrapped.

Advent round. Ask one question a day from December 1. Write the answers on the back of a paper chain so you can read them on Christmas.

Predict your person. Guess what someone else will pick before they answer. One point per correct guess. Play to eight, then switch to a movie.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these Christmas would you rather questions family-friendly?

Yes. They cover gifts, decorations, food, movies and imaginary North Pole jobs. There is no romance, scare content or spending-shame. You can read any of them with kids in the room.

What is the difference between these and Christmas this or that?

This or that is a fast pick, like real tree or artificial tree. Would you rather adds a cost, like a real tree that drops needles or an artificial tree that takes an hour to build. Use this or that for a party round and this page when you want reasons.

Can a class use these in December?

Yes, as a one-question warm-up. Stick to the food, movie and silly groups if you do not want to talk about gifts. Students pick a side and finish the sentence 'I would rather… because…'.

What should we play after this list?

Christmas trivia if you want answers that are right or wrong, Christmas charades if you want people out of their chairs, or the Christmas question of the day if you want one prompt each morning.
