Christmas This or That
Christmas This or That is the fastest game at the table: 65 two-word duels, like “Sugar cookies or Gingerbread” and “Colored lights or White lights”, answered in two seconds with no overthinking. It breaks the ice, fills the wait before dinner and settles restless kids before midnight.
Why short picks work so well at year-end
- December has too many traditions to debate one by one, and one-word duels solve that. “Ham or Turkey”, “Mashed potatoes or Stuffing” and “Cranberry sauce or Gravy” open the dinner discussion without requiring a full sentence of defense. On the decoration side, “Real tree or Fake tree”, “Star on top or Angel on top” and “Tinsel or Garland” show how each home builds its holiday. The 65 pairs span food, decorations, gifts, travel, New Year’s Eve and the office party.
- The mechanics are the leanest of any party game. Choose “Christmas and holidays”, tap play and the pair shows up on screen. When someone taps an option, it flashes to confirm and the next pair arrives immediately, with no next button. A counter tracks how many picks you have made this round. To turn it into a group game, each person answers aloud before the screen changes, and the circle scores who correctly guessed their neighbor’s pick: 1 point per right guess.
- Three uses work well. At home with 4 to 10 people, use it as a warm-up before the gift swap starts. At work, pick the party pairs, such as “Karaoke or Trivia” and “Office party or Team lunch”, and let the votes shape next year’s party format. With kids, the pairs “Santa or Elf” and “Reindeer or Sleigh” fill ten quick rounds. The deck only repeats a pair once the other 64 have come up.

Frequently asked questions
How many Christmas pairs does This or That have?
There are 65 pairs in the “Christmas and holidays” category. Each mixes food, decorations, gifts or parties, and they all come up in random order with no repeats.
Do I need to add players?
No. This or That has no player list or scoreboard: whoever holds the phone taps each person’s pick, or everybody answers aloud. That keeps the pace brisk.
Does it work as a company icebreaker?
It works well. The answers are one word with no personal exposure, and the audience can raise a hand for A or B. In 5 minutes you can run through 15 or 20 pairs with 30 people.
Are the pairs suitable for small children?
Yes. All are light, with no mention of drinking, money or dating. For kids who cannot read yet, an adult reads both options and the child points to a side.
