Christmas Would You Rather Printable: 50 Questions for Family Night

Would you rather questions are the perfect low-effort party game. Nobody needs to study, nobody gets eliminated, and every single question starts a conversation. At Christmas, they are even better: the dilemmas are cozy, silly, and just divisive enough to get the whole table debating.

Below are 50 free printable-style Christmas Would You Rather questions, sorted from easy to delightfully tricky. Print them, cut them into cards, or read them aloud around the table.

How to Play Would You Rather

One player reads a question aloud, and everyone answers at the same time — point left for the first option, right for the second, or just shout it out. There are no wrong answers, which is exactly why the game works for mixed ages. For a competitive twist, award a point to anyone whose answer matches the majority, and crown a “Most Festive Mind” at the end.

With kids, stick to the first two rounds. With adults, the later rounds get gloriously heated. As a conversation game, it also works beautifully over a video call for family members who cannot be together at Christmas.

Game Variations

Speed Round

Set a 10-second timer per question. Hesitation means you take a silly forfeit, like singing one line of a carol.

Debate Mode

Split into two teams, one for each option, and give each team 30 seconds to argue their side. The loudest applause wins the point.

Card Deck

Cut the questions into cards, shuffle them, and draw one at a time throughout the evening — between courses at dinner, during a movie break, or while waiting for dessert.
