100 Christmas would you rather questions for work and holiday parties

Good Christmas would you rather questions give two fun, equal holiday choices anyone can answer in a second, with nothing personal to share. Here are 100 clean ones for work in five sets.

Cozy winterWould you rather spend a snow day reading by a window or watching movies under a pile of blankets?

Coworkers at an office holiday party split into two laughing groups, one raising hands, one pointing back.

Read one aloud, everyone votes at once, and one person from each side says why. With reasons, five questions fill about 10 minutes; as a quick vote, you can get through 15. The sets run from cozy (the safest opener) to funny, work, food and travel, and every question is clean: no drinking, money, dating or looks, and the cozy and travel sets work for people who don’t celebrate Christmas.

Want a host to run the holiday games?

A would you rather round fills 10 minutes of a meeting. For the party itself, a hosted holiday game show gives the whole team an hour of rounds, teams and a scoreboard, and the host does all the talking. It works for 15 people or 150 on one call, and you prep nothing in a busy December. Hosted games book about 2 weeks ahead.

Live-hosted, about an hour, on Zoom (Teams, Google Meet or Webex on request). Today’s prices:

How to play Christmas would you rather at work

Four steps that turn a list into a game, then one line for each setting.

  1. Pick the set that fits the room. Cozy or travel for a first meeting with a new team, funny or food for the party, work for a team that knows each other.
  2. Everyone votes at the same moment. Red card or green card, one finger or two, or a chat emoji. A count of three keeps people from waiting to see what others pick.
  3. Hear from the smaller side first. The minority usually has the better reason. Give one person 20 seconds, then one from the bigger side.
  4. Keep the team's official picks. Write down each majority answer. By the end you have the team's holiday rules: cocoa too hot, decorations up until February.

In the office, hybrid or on video

  • In the office: hand out red and green napkins or cards. Red is the first option, green the second, and everyone holds one up on three.
  • Hybrid: the room votes with cards, the call votes in the chat, and the host reads both tallies before anyone defends a pick.
  • On video: share the picker, vote with a snowflake or a tree emoji, and spotlight one speaker from each side.
  • In a team channel: post one question each workday until the break and reveal the team's full list of official picks on the last day.

Over about 60 people, a show of hands stops being fun to count. A host-run virtual game show splits a big group into teams and keeps everyone playing.

Christmas would you rather FAQ

What are good Christmas would you rather questions?

Good ones offer two equally tempting holiday choices that anyone can answer in a second, like “Would you rather wake up to fresh snow every December morning or to the smell of cinnamon rolls baking?” or “Would you rather eat a gingerbread person head first or feet first?” This page has 100 in five sets: cozy, funny, work, food and travel.

What are some funny Christmas would you rather questions?

Try “Would you rather live in a snow globe someone keeps shaking or inside a music box that never stops?” or “Would you rather have a reindeer as your rideshare driver or a polar bear as your mail carrier?” The funny set has 20 like these, all clean enough for a work call.

Are these questions OK for coworkers who don't celebrate Christmas?

Yes. Every question is a light choice with nothing personal to share, and the cozy and travel sets are mostly about winter and time off. Let anyone pass, and start with those two sets when a team is mixed.

How do you play would you rather at a holiday party?

Read a question, have everyone vote at once with a hand, a card or a chat emoji, and let one person from each side give a 20-second reason. Plan on about five questions per 10 minutes with reasons, or 15 as a quick vote.

How do you play Christmas would you rather on Zoom or Teams?

Share the picker at the top of this page, read each card aloud and have people vote with emoji reactions or a quick poll. Spotlight one speaker per side, then press Next question.

Can someone host a holiday game for our team?

Yes. KraftyLab books live-hosted holiday games such as Festive Family Feud, where teams guess the most popular holiday survey answers with a host on Zoom (Teams, Google Meet or Webex on request). Its page shows the live price for your headcount, and hosted games book about 2 weeks ahead.
