Holiday Icebreaker Questions
Warm, inclusive holiday icebreaker questions for an office holiday party, a team lunch in December or a family get-together. The questions talk about food, traditions, winter and the year ahead without assuming which holidays anyone celebrates.
How to play Holiday Icebreaker Questions
- Choose the Holiday Season, Winter or New Year decks, or keep all three on.
- Show the card on a shared screen or pass a phone around the table, and read each question out loud.
- Add names with Players so the card shows who answers first, and set a timer to keep a large party moving.
- Press Next question or swipe for a new card. Nothing repeats until you have seen the whole deck.
Controls
- Space, Enter or →: next question
- ←: previous question
- Swipe the card on a phone
Tips
- Use the New Year deck at a last meeting of the year for a quick look back at highlights.
- At a party, pair this with a round of holiday charades or team trivia once people have warmed up.
- Let anyone pass on a question; holidays mean different things to different people.
FAQ
Are these questions only about Christmas?
No. The decks are written for the whole holiday season and winter, so they work whether people celebrate Christmas, another holiday or none. They ask about food, traditions, cozy activities and goals for the new year.
Are holiday icebreakers appropriate for an office party?
These ones are written to be. There are no questions about drinking, money, religion or family situations, and every question has an easy, light answer.
How many questions are there?
Three decks of about twenty questions each: Holiday Season, Winter and New Year. You can switch each deck on or off with the chips above the card.
