Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Playlist

  • Create a mix of 15–30 Christmas songs, ranging from well-known carols (Jingle Bells, Silent Night) to pop hits (All I Want for Christmas Is You, or new 2025 Christmas releases). See bottom of the article

  • Playlists from Spotify, YouTube, or a Christmas music trivia app work great!


2. Split Into Teams or Play Solo

  • Divide players into teams (great for bigger groups) or have everyone compete individually.

  • Give each team/player a notepad and pen to keep track of their answers (or just shout them out).


3. Play a Short Clip

  • Play just 2–5 seconds of each song.

  • Start from a random part of the track to make it trickier!


4. Guess the Tune!

  • Players shout out or write down their guesses.

  • The first team or person to guess correctly gets a point.


5. Keep Score

  • Keep track of correct answers throughout the game.

  • The player or team with the most points at the end wins a small prize or bragging rights!


🎁 Bonus Variations:

  • Finish the Lyric: Stop the song mid-line and have players sing or say the next words.

  • Humming Round: A player hums a tune, and the rest guess.

  • Theme Rounds: One round of just carols, one of pop hits, one of obscure songs, etc.


🎅 Top Tip:

Include a few brand-new Christmas songs from 2025 to spice things up and surprise even the music pros!
