Christmas Emoji Quiz: Guess the Movie, Song or Tradition

The Christmas Emoji Quiz topic has 60 puzzles: 20 easy, 20 medium and 20 hard. Each one shows a sequence of emojis with no text at all, plus four options listing titles of movies, songs, foods, traditions and folklore characters. In English the movies appear under their original titles, and every puzzle has exactly one answer that fits the emojis.

What changes from easy to hard in a Christmas emoji quiz

  • In the 20 easy puzzles, the emojis draw the scene directly: a sleigh, a reindeer and a red hat lead to Santa Claus, a star and a gift around a fir lead to the Christmas tree, and a wide-eyed kid inside a house leads to Home Alone. The three wrong options come from other territory (Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny), so even someone who never saw the movies gets there through the logic of the picture.
  • In the 20 medium puzzles, the emoji stops showing the object and starts hinting at the title. A bell and a rock lead to Jingle Bell Rock, a silver medal and a bell lead to Silver Bells, a heart, a gift and a rewind button lead to Last Christmas. This is where movies that hinge on a single clue appear: a pumpkin and a skull for The Nightmare Before Christmas, an angel, a bell and a bank for It's a Wonderful Life. The wrong options now come from the same category, so the clue decides.
  • In the 20 hard puzzles, folklore and customs from other countries show up, and the flag emoji does the heavy lifting: the Icelandic flag with the number 13 points to the Yule Lads, the Swedish flag with a burning goat points to the Gävle straw goat, and the Philippine flag with the number 9 and a lantern points to Simbang Gabi. There are also New Year puzzles, such as the twelve grapes, lentils, Scottish first-footing and the Times Square ball drop.
  • Because the game runs on a single phone, the fun is the team seeing the sequence, arguing out loud and only then revealing the answer. Multiple choice is on by default, but you can turn it off for hard mode, where the team has to guess the title with no help. A suggestion for a holiday table: a round of 20 easy puzzles to warm up, 10 medium ones with the timer on and 5 hard ones worth extra points.

From the sleigh to Iceland's 13: examples from the Christmas emoji bank

Easy puzzle

Input
🧒🏠😱🎄
Expected output
Esqueceram de Mim / Home Alone

It stays easy because each emoji tells a piece of the scene (kid, house, scare, Christmas) and the wrong options are other Christmas movies with different symbols.

Easy puzzle

Input
🕎🕯️
Expected output
Hanukkah

It stays easy because the nine-branch menorah emoji is unique to this festival, and the alternatives (Kwanzaa, Diwali, Lunar New Year) do not use that symbol.

Medium puzzle

Input
🎃💀🎄
Expected output
O Estranho Mundo de Jack / The Nightmare Before Christmas

It stays medium because the pumpkin and skull alone suggest Halloween; it is the fir next to them that shows the movie mixes the two holidays.

Medium puzzle

Input
🔔🪨
Expected output
Jingle Bell Rock

It stays medium because the bell alone would point to Jingle Bells; the rock is the clue that separates the two songs that look alike.

Hard puzzle

Input
🇮🇸1️⃣3️⃣🎅
Expected output
Os Jólasveinar (Yule Lads) / The Yule Lads

It stays hard because it requires knowing that in Icelandic folklore the Christmas visitors number thirteen and that their Santa is not a single character.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Christmas emoji quiz work?

The screen shows a sequence of emojis and four options with titles. The team picks one, the host reveals the answer and marks the point. There are 60 puzzles (20 easy, 20 medium and 20 hard), each with a single answer that fits the emojis, with no text to read.

Do movies appear with their local titles?

Yes. In the English game, movies appear under their original titles, such as Home Alone, The Grinch and Elf, and in the Portuguese game under their Brazilian release titles, such as Esqueceram de Mim and Um Duende em Nova York. Only titles are used, with no lines or scenes from the films.

Can kids play the emoji quiz?

Yes, especially with the 20 easy puzzles, which use symbols a school-age child usually recognizes: Santa, snowman, tree and gingerbread house. The content suits all ages, and the medium and hard tiers are for adults or for the final rounds.

Can I mix the emoji quiz with the Christmas questions?

Yes. On the setup screen, tick both the Christmas Emoji Quiz and Christmas and New Year topics and pick your tiers; the game shuffles the two lists together. For an emoji-only round, leave just the first topic ticked, which is how this page opens.
