These 30 Family Feud Christmas questions come in three sets of ten: the office holiday party, Christmas classics, and winter for teams that celebrate different holidays. Every question has five or six ranked answers with points, and 10 Fast Money prompts close the game. Play them on the board above, or print the host sheet and run it from paper.

About the points: The points are our editors' estimate of how a typical office would answer, not results from a real survey. Want your team's real answers? Run a quick survey the week before.

How to play Family Feud at an office Christmas party

One host, two teams and the board on a meeting room TV or a shared screen. Five rounds and Fast Money take 25 to 30 minutes.

  1. Split the party into two teams. Three to eight players a side. At a big party, each table plays as one team and picks a new speaker every round.
  2. Open every round with a faceoff. One player from each team, first hand up answers. Whoever hits the higher answer on the board wins control for their team.
  3. Guess one player at a time. Each right answer is revealed and its points go into the round. Each miss is a strike.
  4. Three strikes hands the other team a steal. They huddle and give one answer. If it's on the board they take the whole round; if not, the team in control keeps it.
  5. Raise the stakes late. Single points for rounds 1 to 3, double for round 4, triple for round 5, so the team behind can still catch up. The board's Single, Double and Triple chips do the math.
  6. Finish with Fast Money. Two players from the winning team answer the same five prompts, 20 seconds for the first and 25 for the second. 200 points between them wins.

On Zoom, Teams or a hybrid party

Share the board from the host's screen and buzz in with a raised hand or the first message in the chat. Send each team to a breakout room for the steal. For a hybrid party, mix office and remote players on both teams, or play office against remote.

Run your own holiday survey

Our points are an educated guess. Your coworkers' real answers get bigger laughs, because people recognize each other in them.

  1. Pick 8 to 10 questions from this page. Mix the office party set with a few classics.
  2. Send them as a short-answer form a week before. Google Forms or Microsoft Forms both work and can stay anonymous. A Slack thread is faster if your team doesn't mind answering in public.
  3. Group matching answers and count them. Hot cocoa, cocoa and hot chocolate are one answer.
  4. Turn counts into points. An answer's share of responses is its points: 12 of 40 people is 30. Keep the top five or six and write them on the host sheet.

Printable host answer sheet

All 30 questions and both Fast Money sets with every answer and its points, in two columns. Print it for the host, or choose Save as PDF in the print dialog.

Christmas Family Feud FAQ

What are good Christmas Family Feud questions?

Questions everyone at the party can answer without thinking: snack tables, Christmas songs, stockings, snow days and the last meeting of the year. A good one has one obvious top answer and a few that start a friendly debate. At work, skip anything about gifts from the boss, drinking or romance.

How do you play Christmas Family Feud?

Two teams take turns guessing the top answers on the board for each question. A faceoff decides who plays each round, three wrong guesses let the other team steal the points, and five rounds plus a Fast Money finale take about 25 to 30 minutes.

Can you play Christmas Family Feud online for free?

Yes. The board at the top of this page is free, needs no sign-up and runs in any browser. Share your screen on Zoom, Teams or Google Meet and click the slots as teams guess.

How are Family Feud answers ranked?

On the TV show, answers come from surveys. Ours do not: the points are our editors' estimate of how a typical office would answer, not results from a real survey. For real numbers, send 8 to 10 of these questions to your team a week before and use their answers.

What are good Fast Money questions for Christmas?

Short prompts with one clear favorite, like a Christmas color or something you hang over a fireplace. This page has two Fast Money sets of five with ranked answers, and the board runs them with a 20 and 25 second clock.

How do you play Family Feud at an office Christmas party?

Put the board on the meeting room TV or a shared screen, split the room into two teams, and let tables play as teams if the party is big. For remote staff, run the same board on a video call, with one office team and one remote team or mixed teams.

How many questions do you need for a Family Feud game?

Five questions make a 25 to 30 minute game, and seven or eight fill 45 minutes. Add five Fast Money prompts for the finale, and keep two spare questions in case a round falls flat.

Family Feud is a trademark of its owners. KraftyLab isn't affiliated with the show, and every question and answer on this page is our own.
