Do you love Christmas movies as much as my family? There are certain movies we watch again and again and count Home Alone, Home Alone 2, Elf, A Christmas Story, Holiday Inn and It’s a Wonderful Life among our favorites. Not only are the stories entertaining and put us in the Christmas spirit, they also include underlying messages on the importance of love, friends and family during this beautiful season.

With a big assist from The Everything Family Christmas Book by Yvonne Jeffery, I’ve created a Christmas movie trivia quiz. Most of the questions were adapted from this wonderful book, though I’ve added several of my own. Also included are a few questions from two popular, long-running Christmas TV specials, Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

There are 20 multiple-chpice questions in total. You’ll find the answers at the bottom of the page, just below the links to a few Christmas-related tales.
