Think You Know Christmas? You Might Be Surprised in this Trivia Game!
Christmas trivia is brilliant. There’s something about discovering a completely random festive fact that makes you immediately want to tell everyone else about it.
Did you know Rudolph was originally created as a department store promotion? Or that Jingle Bells was originally written for Thanksgiving? And why on earth do people in Austria have Krampus to worry about at Christmas? Suddenly, Christmas trivia gets a lot more interesting.
That’s exactly where Final Word: Christmas Edition comes in. New to the store this year!
The Christmas trivia game where one word changes everything
Final Word is a fast-paced printable Christmas trivia game with a simple twist: every Christmas fact has one important word missing.
Your job is to work out what that final word should be. Sounds easy, right? Well... some are. Some really aren't. And that’s half the fun.
You might confidently complete a card, grab your point and move on. Or you might stare at it for a few seconds thinking, I know this... I definitely know this... Then someone shouts out the answer.
How does Final Word work?
Playing is wonderfully simple. A player draws a card and reads the Christmas fact aloud. Everyone else tries to complete the sentence.
For example:
In Austria, naughty children may be visited by ______.
The answer?
Krampus!
Or try this one:
“Jingle Bells” was originally written for ______.
Think you know it?
Thanksgiving.
And here's another:
In Japan, many families celebrate Christmas with a meal from ______.
The answer might surprise you: KFC.
That’s the magic of the game. You’re not simply answering question after question. You’re uncovering little pieces of Christmas trivia as you play.
The risk is where things get interesting...
Getting an answer right earns you a point — but you can also choose to keep going. Bank your points and play it safe, or take another card and try to build a streak.
The longer you keep answering correctly, the more points you can collect. But there's a catch. Get one wrong and you lose everything you've collected that turn.
So, do you play it safe? Or do you go for just one more?

74 Christmas facts to discover
Final Word: Christmas Edition includes 74 unique Christmas fact cards, covering all sorts of festive topics.
There are Christmas traditions from around the world, curious bits of Christmas history, Santa and his reindeer, unusual festive customs and plenty of facts that are likely to make you question whether you actually know Christmas as well as you thought you did.
You might discover that:
- Rudolph was originally created as a department store promotion.
- The Statue of Liberty was the largest Christmas gift ever given.
- In Catalonia, Tió de Nadal is a smiling log that “poops” presents.
- Reindeer are the only deer species where females regularly grow antlers.

A Christmas game for pretty much everyone
One of the best things about Final Word: Christmas Edition is that you don't need to be a serious trivia expert to enjoy it.
You can play it with family after Christmas dinner, take it along to a Christmas party, use it as a festive classroom activity or pull it out when everyone has finished eating and nobody quite knows what to do next.
The rules take minutes to learn, and because the game is based around completing facts rather than answering complicated questions, everyone has a chance to get involved.
It also works brilliantly with mixed groups.
The person who knows absolutely everything about Christmas history might be brilliant at one card, while the person who only remembers Christmas trivia from watching festive films might suddenly pull out the winning answer. Christmas has a funny way of doing that.
