  2. The picture round

    The TV asking which Christmas plant this is: a sprig with white berries, with no answer showing.

  3. Name that carol

    Press play and the carol fills the room. One for the kids to name, one for the grown-ups: where was it first sung?

    The TV asking which carol this is, its tune ready to play.

  4. Act it out

    The TV runs the minute while the secret stays on your laptop. One secret for each generation.

What hosts ask first

How do I run a family Christmas quiz on the TV?

Plug a laptop into the TV and split the table into teams. The TV shows each question; your laptop keeps the answers, your notes and the scores, and an answer goes up only when you press. Nobody needs a phone.

Kids vs adults, and Grandma: how do I keep it fair?

Play in teams by generation and give every round something for each: a picture the kids know, a carol’s story for the grown-ups. A round can hold multiple choice for the youngest, your notes can carry a clue to read out, and you can give a team a head start of 10 points with one press.

How long should a Christmas quiz be?

About an hour, between the dinner and the presents: three or four short rounds and a tiebreak. This one has three rounds, a minute a turn to act and a tiebreak that plays only if teams are level. Keep it: our own family quiz on 3 January 2026 ended level, and a goat impression had to settle it.

Which rounds work at Christmas?

A picture round, carols with sound and act it out. A picture question puts the picture big on the TV, a music question plays its tune when you press play, and in act it out the secret stays on your laptop while the TV runs the minute.

Who keeps the score?

Huzzah does, on your laptop: mark each team right or wrong and the standings follow. The final scores hold every name back until you press, then name who wins Christmas.

Do I need PowerPoint, printouts or an app?

No. You write the quiz in the browser and it plays on the TV, with no slides to build, nothing to print and no app on anyone’s phone. Teams answer on paper.
