Christmas Questions for Couples

The holidays are full of plans, family and noise, so a few quiet minutes together go a long way. These Christmas questions for couples cover favorite traditions, holiday memories from childhood, gift habits and the festive food you each cannot live without. Some are quiz-style, so you can test how well you know each other's holiday side.

Play by the tree, on a road trip to see family or over a video call if you are apart for the holidays. One phone is enough; for a quiz round, start a room so your answers stay hidden until the reveal. The questions are clean and fun, so you can even play them with family at the table.
