Christmas Survey Game Questions and Answers to Play or Print: how it works

These free Christmas survey game questions and answers come as 50 boards in 7 games, loaded into a tap-to-reveal board with strikes and two team scores. Print host sheet prints the current game, answers included. They suit a home round of the game sold as Family Feud, which this site is not affiliated with. Every order is our ranking, not a survey.

Play it between dinner and dessert

Mix kids and grandparents on both sides and type your team names over Team 1 and Team 2. Choose a Game and read the question aloud. One player from each team answers, and the higher tile wins control of the board. Tap a number to flip a correct answer; press Strike for a wrong one. After three strikes the other team gets one guess to steal. Give points pays the winner, and Next round deals the next board.

Points, twelve gifts and a ninth reindeer

Points are a fixed ladder: 8 for the top tile and one less for each tile below, so a seven-round game holds about 245. Play to 100, or play it out and press Final score. Two boards leave out true answers. The carol lists twelve gifts and a board holds eight, so maids, ladies, lords and pipers earn a strike; warn the room. The reindeer board uses the eight names in the 1823 poem, so the red-nosed one, added in 1939, is a strike too.

Tips

  • The funny Christmas survey game questions and answers sit in Christmas Morning Chaos: eight boards, such as how the dog ruins Christmas.
  • For a school or office party, Any Winter Holiday Party has holiday survey game questions and answers for any guest: ugly sweaters, slow travel, New Year's Eve.
  • For Christmas themed survey game questions about your own family, press Edit a copy, write a board about Grandma's fudge, then press Save and play.

Questions and answers

Is there a Christmas survey game questions and answers PDF?

Press Print host sheet, then choose Save as PDF in your browser's print dialog. The sheet holds the game on screen: every question, its ranked answers with points, and a score grid. Repeat for each of the 7 games.

Where do the answers and their order come from?

We wrote all 50 boards and ranked the answers by how soon we expect a room to shout them: socks before slippers, ham before turkey. No poll stands behind the numbers, so the host may overrule us.

How many boards does a Christmas party need?

One game of seven boards is plenty between dinner and dessert. For a longer night, pick a second game from Game: both scores carry over. Play again and Restart game set them back to 0.

How these games were written: All 7 games, their 50 boards and all 364 answers were written for this site by the editors in 2026. No survey was carried out and nobody was polled. The answers on each board stand in our own order, from the one we expect a room to shout first to the one we expect last, and the points are a fixed ladder for play: 8 for the first answer, then 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1. They are not a count of people. Nothing is copied from a TV show's question bank, a fan transcript, a boxed game or another website, and no question repeats one from the survey game maker page or from the everyday survey game questions page. Every board was screened as clean for a family room: nothing sexual, no alcohol or drugs, no real people, no brand names, no film or modern song titles and no film characters. Three boards have answers that can be checked, and they were: the eight reindeer are the team named in the 1823 poem A Visit from St. Nicholas in its modern spelling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus%27s_reindeer, which also dates the red-nosed ninth reindeer to a 1939 store giveaway, the reason he is left off that board); the eight gifts on the twelve-days board are eight of the twelve in the standard 1909 version of the carol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twelve_Days_of_Christmas_(song)); and the nativity board says 'the wise men' without a number, because the number three is tradition. All checked 2026-09-18. The play rules the page describes (the face-off, one answer at a time, three strikes, the steal after conferring, the round's points going to one team, a points goal) follow Wikipedia's article on the TV format, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Feud, checked 2026-09-18.
