The countdown to Christmas is soon to be in full swing, and although we anxiously wait for the fridge to be filled to the brim with pigs in blankets in preparation for the big day, we’re already thinking of other ways to get the party started early.

Even though things are entirely different this year, we’re still committed to having a good time, and one pastime has yet to disappoint us: a tried-and-true quiz.

So, after spending two lockdowns yelling out your general knowledge via Skype and Zoom calls, we figure it’s only fitting to continue this tradition… but in a cheerful manner.

For this reason, we’ve put together a list of the best Christmas quiz questions (and answers), so you can look like you’ve done your homework when it’s your turn to be quiz master.

What do you know about Christmas? Do you know the date it’s celebrated, what a pinata is, or why we hang mistletoe? This quiz is designed to test your knowledge of these and other holiday traditions. The questions cover everything from Santa Claus to gift-giving.

Good luck and Merry Christmas!
