Why build your own Christmas quiz round

Most December quiz nights reuse the same festive rounds, and the hardest part is often finding xmas pub quiz questions and answers that suit your crowd and your venue. A set built from your own material lets you choose the topics, the difficulty and the wording, and each answer comes with a short explanation for the host.

  • Choose topics that match your crowd, from carols and films to festive food and history.
  • Check each answer against your notes before printing, so the host is never caught out.
  • Mix easy opening questions with harder finals to keep teams engaged through the round.
  • Keep explanations on the answer sheet so the host can settle disputes quickly.
