Christmas Would You Rather Questions
Ready to sprinkle some silliness into your Christmas season?
Whether you’re gathered around the fireplace, sitting at the kids’ table, or waiting for the cookies to finish baking, Christmas Would You Rather is the perfect game to play with kids, teens, and even the adults.
Here is everything you need to know to play Would You Rather: Christmas Edition, plus a whole sleigh-load of festive questions to keep everyone laughing, thinking, and maybe even groaning just a little (in the best way).
What is “Would You Rather?”
If you’ve never played before, here’s the lowdown: Would You Rather is a super simple game where you ask someone to choose between two options. The options can be silly, serious, festive, gross, sweet, you name it. There’s no right or wrong answer, and you’ll often be surprised by what people pick!
Example:
Would you rather get 100 candy canes or 10 gingerbread cookies?
See? Easy. And totally fun.
How to Play Christmas Would You Rather
1. Gather your players
This game works great with:
- Families around the dinner table
- Classrooms full of excited kids
- Teens hanging out at a holiday party
- Even virtual game nights via Zoom or FaceTime!
2. One person asks the question
They can either make it up or read from a list (don’t worry, I’ve got a HUGE list for you below!).
3. Everyone answers
You can take turns answering out loud, raise hands to vote, or even split into “Team A” and “Team B” based on the answers.
4. Keep it going!
Take turns asking questions until you’re all giggling and can’t stop saying “Oooh that’s a tough one!”
Optional twist:
Add a holiday prize, maybe a small treat, a sticker, or a jingle bell, for the “most unique answer” or just for fun.
Tips to Make It Extra Festive
- Use Christmas props! Ask the questions while wearing Santa hats or reindeer ears.
- Hot cocoa bonus round: Anyone who answers a question gets a marshmallow for their hot chocolate.
- Classroom idea: Print the questions, cut them into strips, and pop them into a Santa hat for students to pull out.

Why Kids (and Adults!) Love This Game
- It’s zero-pressure fun. There are no wrong answers!
- It gets everyone talking and laughing, even the quiet ones.
- It works for all ages, from preschoolers to grandparents.
- It’s totally free and can last 5 minutes or an entire evening.
Plus, it’s a sweet little peek into how your kids (or friends) think. You might learn that your child secretly prefers candy canes to cookies, or that Grandpa would totally wear an elf outfit to get out of wrapping presents.
Want to Make It Extra Special?
Make a Christmas Would You Rather Jar!
Write each question on a strip of paper and pop them into a jar or bowl. Pull one out at dinner, during advent, or when the kids say “I’m boooored.”
This time of year can get a little hectic (okay… a lot). But games like this? They remind us to slow down and enjoy the silly, magical, goofy side of the season.
So go on, ask your kids if they’d rather be an elf who sings nonstop or a reindeer who never stops dancing. And just see where the fun takes you!
