FUN HOLIDAY TRIVIA QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  

This article will feature 60+ fun holiday trivia questions including fall, halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, winter and more!

The secret to a great virtual holiday party or holiday team building session is providing opportunities for engagement and connection. We often have the best intentions when planning an event, but when we bring teams from different departments and time zones together, they may not immediately have something in common.

Our go-to method for boosting engagement during virtual events is icebreakers; icebreaker questions and trivia provide a quick and easy way for colleagues to get involved, make their voices heard, and feel like part of the group. We have rounded up all of our best holiday trivia questions to help you connect with your teams this holiday season!
