143 Christmas Movie Trivia Questions To Ask Under The Christmas Tree
A movie marathon is an almost indispensable part of the holiday season. What could be better than gathering on the couch in cozy ugly Christmas sweaters, destroying the snacks, and watching movie after movie? Of course, since it’s Christmas and you are doing all the Christmas-related things throughout December, it has to be Christmas movies as well.
And… this is where the trouble begins. Which movies can be rightfully considered Christmas movies? Everything seems to be pretty clear with Home Alone, Santa Clause, or How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but what about Die Hard?! The debate on whether this undying 90s classic is or is not a Christmas movie has divided people and caused blood feuds.
So, before your movie marathon turns into another loud argument, we suggest a different pastime you can organize with your family and friends. A good movie trivia game is something everyone will enjoy, even if you are not a big movie buff. But since it’s the holidays, instead of asking general movie trivia questions, go ahead and prepare Christmas movie trivia questions.
If you like a fun trivia game, be it Christmas trivia or film trivia, you will enjoy the holiday movie trivia questions we prepared for you in this article. Don’t forget to let us know how many you scored in the game!
