Here’s a Fun December Idea: Host A Christmas Movie Trivia Night!

August 26, 2022

Oh, the weather outside is frightful…


Maybe not so much here in Los Angeles (we are a little spoiled), but that doesn’t mean we aren’t in a snowy winter Hallmark small-town state of mind! This holiday season is the perfect time to spend with friends, family, and loved ones and yes, we do love – hence, “loved ones” – but sometimes you just run out of things to do together. 


We’ve got an idea. How about a little holiday movie trivia? Trivia nights are really popular around the city but for this one, you don’t even need to leave your LA apartment. 


Throw together some Christmas-themed snacks, put out all the tinsel, and light a Christmas tree-scented candle because it’s about to get holly jolly with these trivia questions. 


This trivia game consists of six rounds including a challenge round worth more points. It can be played in teams or everyone can fend for themselves. You can shout out the answers or write them down to be graded! All you need is an impartial host to read out the questions and keep track of the scores! 


What does the winner receive? Well, that’s entirely up to you!
