How to play Christmas Trivia

Pick a topic (Traditions, Movies & Music, or Food & Fun Facts) or play All topics, then choose a round of 10 or 20 questions.
Each question has four possible answers and exactly one is right. The correct answer turns green, a wrong pick turns red, and a short explanation tells you the story behind it.
A correct answer scores 100 points, and answering several in a row adds a growing streak bonus. Switch on the optional 20-second timer for a speed bonus.
The game remembers which Christmas questions you have seen on this device and serves new ones first, so you will not get repeats until you have played through the whole topic.

Tips

Many traditions have a German, Dutch or Scandinavian origin, so think north-west Europe when you are unsure.
For Christmas movie trivia, the year is often a clue: classics from the 1940s, family comedies from the 1990s and 2000s.
Play the Movies & Music topic on its own for a film-night warm-up.
