It’s that time of year again: the time for family, friends, and holiday cheer. But most importantly, it’s the time for pub quizzes!

If you’re looking to settle who will be the reigning champion of your festive pub quiz, look no further.

We’ve got 40 Christmas tie breaker questions to help make that decision.

If you’ve been doing our Christmas quiz and got two players or teams who scored the same number of points, you will need a good tie-breaker.

A tie-breaker question is one where an answer is a number. Usually, nobody would know the actual answer. It’s not a well-known fact but you can venture a guess.

Each player gives his answer and whoever gets it closest wins the point.

Since it’s Christmas time and we want to keep it in the theme, we decided to put together a list of 40 amazing Christmas Tie breaker questions.

They are about everything related to Christmas including Christmas songs, decorations, lights, food and traditions.
