Fun with Holiday Quizzes

Christmas is filled with traditions, myths and merriment. But where did the myth of Santa Claus come from? Why are the traditional colors red and green? What are the actual words to The Christmas Song? If you know the answers to these questions, you shall fare well on a holiday trivia test. Quizzes also provide a good opportunity to learn facts about Christmas you never knew.

Free Christmas quizzes are perfect for keeping kids occupied during cold Christmas holiday breaks. With two windows open, they can take the quiz in one while looking for answers online in the other. This also enhances their online research skills.

Families, especially those with a competitive streak, will enjoy playing Christmas trivia games against each other. Crown the winner(s) the King/Queen of Christmas and let him/her enjoy a special place at the holiday table.

A quiz game can also be used as a way to do a round-robin Christmas gift exchange. Each person is given a question. If she/he answers correctly, they can choose a present from under the tree or take one from someone else. For each wrong answer, everyone in the group must pass their present one person to the right. Continue until all the presents have been distributed and you run out of quiz questions.
