Name your team, then build the xmas pub quiz from your own notes
Start with a list of festive team names for your next Christmas quiz night, then turn any Christmas trivia notes, slides or PDF into questions your table can answer.
Choosing a Christmas quiz team name that gets a laugh
Most Christmas quiz nights run on a few cheerful rounds, and the team name is usually the first laugh of the evening. Good xmas pub quiz team names are short, a little punny or rude, and easy for the quizmaster to read out loud without stumbling.
- Keep names short enough to fit on a scoreboard and say aloud in one breath.
- Lean on shared in-jokes, like a mince pie feud or a dodgy office party, for names only your table will get.
- Pick one pun or reference per name rather than stacking several jokes together.
- Ask the quizmaster to read out names in advance so the room laughs at the right moment.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good Christmas pub quiz team name?
The best names are short, easy to read aloud and tied to something the table recognizes, such as a seasonal pun or a film or carol reference. Names that are too long get lost when the quizmaster reads the scores.
How many questions should a Christmas pub quiz round have?
Many hosts run rounds of around 10 questions, mixing easy warm-ups with a few harder ones so teams stay engaged. Keep the topics varied so one team's strength does not decide the whole round.

Yes. Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl generates multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations. The free plan includes 3 generations per month.
