Fun book that is perfect for family night or a party. Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the free eARC in exchange for my honest opinions.

This was a really fun Trivia book. My family loves getting together and playing trivia. My husband and I did this together first then had them over. We had so much fun. I loved the art work through out this book. If you are a Christmas movie fanatic then this is the perfect book for you. This is the perfect book to test your knowledge and get you into the holiday spirit.


Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – becker & mayer! | Epic Ink for allowing me to read this ARC for my honest opinion.

This is another book that will probably be better as a physical book than as an ebook. The answers are often on another page and flipping back and forth can get a little hairy.
The trivia in this book is... amazing. There are So Many movies included in this book. Yes, some of them may be argued as Christmas-adjacent, but the author does address this. There are twelve different categories including thrillers, animated movies, and even a whole section devoted just to Christmas Carol adaptations. It's a fun book with a lot of great trivia. There are even little mini sections in between.
Other than the navigability issues, it's quite a nice book.

Opinions are my own

I went into this book cocky as hail. We love Christmas and Christmas movies. I was stumped with a lot of these!!! And I’ve watched these movies a ton. Super fun trivia book.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Christmas Movie Ultimate Trivia Book is the perfect book for any Christmas movie lovers to do alone or for a fun family/friends evening entertainment. The book features many well loved Christmas movies and a huge collection of trivia questions to test your knowledge and get you in the mood for Christmas. I did this book alone, noting down my answers, but I really enjoyed doing it, but it would be more fun to do with others.

This is a great book for fans of Christmas movies, and yes Die Hard is a Christmas movie. You can have movie trivia night during the holidays with this book. Watch the movie and then answer the quizzes. There are movies for every taste whether your favorite is Home Alone, Elf or even the Christmas Story these and many others are included. You can score your results for bragging rights for the year. Have fun this holiday season.

Thank you Netgalley for the arc. Such a fun quiz book perfect for the Christmas period. Such a large range of questions and films so something for all ages. It also has fun facts and great illustrations. Can't wait to play this quiz with the family.

From a girl who is obsessed with Christmas, I can tell you that this is a MUST-HAVE trivia book for anyone who thinks they know everything about Christmas movies. Not only are the chapters broken down into different Christmas movie genres (i.e. action, suspense, family movies, etc) it also has multiple quiz options with a way to score different rounds. The author also conducted a poll to rank the movies within their genre which gives more insight into movies you may not have seen. This is super fun and can be utilized at parties, by your Elf on the Shelf, or just to test your Christmas movie trivia skills. Oh, and the illustrations were super cute too!

I can't wait to pick up a physical copy of this!

This book has a red cover that fits its Christmas theme well, it also features a green Christmas tree on it so you definitely know the book is Christmas related.

I have read the ebook version but the book has quite good illustrations which I bet look even better in a physical book.

The book is set out in types of movie, each movie has its own individual quiz on it.
First of all, there is the movie information, movie title, year, the director, mentions some of the cast, and a brief description of the movie plot. Each movie is also rated for “Christmas Spirit” symbolised by Christmas Trees, “Warm fuzzier” symbolised by mittens and “Timelessness” symbolised by Christmas Lights. I really loved the ratings even though I really didn’t agree with some of them! The quiz is underneath all that information. The questions all have multiple choice answers which makes the quiz a little easier, and so making it suitable for all ages.

At times I did find the font style difficult to read, maybe that would be clearer if you had the physical book in front of you. Personally, I would prefer the quiz answers to have their own section at the back of the book. Though I guess that wouldn’t work as well in the ebook format.

There’s some total classics included in the back such as Wonderful Life which in my opinion didn’t have enough Christmas lights!! There were also some rather obscure movies as well as some included that maybe people wouldn’t immediately classify as a Christmas Movie. I mean if Die Hard and Edward Scissor Hands are included why not include Bridget Jones?
Some of the sections the movies were put in didn’t seem quite right either, I would have put National Lampoons under “Dysfunctional Family Christmas”
There were some great films were missing such as Nativity, Deck The Halls, and Last Christmas (Ghost/wham).

This book is a fun quiz book that is great for anyone that loves Christmas movies, young or old! The book is perfect for a movie themed quiz at Christmas be that at home with the family or down at the pub with your friends/family. I think this book is a great book for reminiscing about past Christmases, memories of when you watched the movies and who with. The quiz could be a kind of Advent tradition where you do the quiz, watch the movies on the lead up to Christmas. It’s certainly a brilliant conversation starter! I think the book would make a great stocking filler, or fun gift for Christmas.

I love Christmas so I jumped at the occasion to review this book.

There are a lot of movies in this book (some I don't even know), but I feel like they are organized in a bit of a messy way (some can easily fall into 2-3 categories). The questions are not easy, so it's great for adults, but not for kids. The scoring is okay.

I loved the facts and photos you can find in the book as well.

If you love Christmas movies and quizzes, I truly believe this book is great, but if you are more of a casual movie watcher this might be a bit much

Christmas Movie Ultimate Trivia Book: Test Your Superfan Status and Relive the Most Iconic Christmas Movie Moments by Neal E. Fischer was a lot of fun to read. I found that there are a lot of Christmas movies I have not seen. I’ve added them to my watch list. It was a challenging variety of questions. This would be great for a holiday get together.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

I love Christmas so I am looking forward to using this trivia book to test my family's Christmas movie knowledge, great range of movie questions included.

⚠️This review was written based on personal opinions and experiences with the book. Individual preferences may vary⚠️

This book will be perfect for our Christmas family quiz night. It offers a great selection of films, and I liked how the questions are laid out, making it easy to skip over films you're unfamiliar with or not interested in — though for me, that was only a few.

This is the perfect book or gift for everyone who loves movies AND Christmas. I really enjoyed the trivia, answer the questions (christmas movies are really my cup of tea) and make my own list of movies to (re)wartch when the season will start. Really recommended!

Good book a lot of good trivia and trivia questions, it is definitely the ultimate Christmas trivia book

Perfect for your next family get together! If you are a movie buff, especially for the holidays, then this book is for you. there were even some movies I had never heard of so there is really something for everyone!

I love Christmas Trivia! We host an Ugly Sweater Party every year, and "Christmas Jeopardy" is one of the favorite games played. That's why I was excited to receive this book as an ARC from NetGalley. There's a lot of information here. Unfortunately, I found many, many of the movies to be a bit obscure (The Ref, Violent Night, Anna and the Apocalypse, Black Christmas). And the questions way too difficult. Definitely a book for adults. I was left rather disappointed.

This is going to be so much fun to do with my family at Christmas! We love trivia and are very excited about how amazing this book is!
