Christmas Would You Rather Questions for Kids and Adults are an easy way to turn a holiday gathering into a game everyone can join. Below you’ll find a big, ready-to-use mix of funny, cozy, silly, and family-friendly questions that work for parties, classrooms, road trips, and quiet nights at home.
Use them as a conversation starter before dinner, a quick icebreaker while gifts are opening, or a game around the tree. The questions are written so kids can understand them, but many also give adults a little holiday fun to think about.
How to play
Read a question aloud and have each person choose one of the two options. There are no right answers, and the fun comes from hearing why people chose what they did.
- For younger kids, let them answer with a show of hands, a thumbs-up, or by standing on one side of the room.
- For mixed ages, invite everyone to explain their choice in one sentence.
- For a faster game, move quickly and keep answers short.
- For a longer activity, let each person ask one question from the list.

How to make the game more fun
- Mix easy questions with a few funny ones so younger kids stay engaged.
- Ask follow-up questions like “Why?” or “What would happen next?” to keep the conversation going.
- Let players earn a point for each answer they explain in a full sentence.
- Use the questions as a calm activity after a busy meal or before bedtime.
- For a party, print the questions and cut them into strips so people can draw one at random.
Quick hosting tip
If you’re playing with both kids and adults, start with the simplest questions and save the funniest ones for later. That keeps everyone involved and makes the game feel easy, cheerful, and very Christmas-ready.
