Overview

The host reads two Christmas things, like Jingle Bells and Silent Night, and players circle the one they think came first. It's quick to learn, easy to score and gets everyone talking about the answers.

There are 30 pairs across movies, songs, books and traditions, with player answer sheets and an answer key that shows the year for every answer. Play solo or in teams, and use the exact year as a tie-breaker.
