Are you a Christmas song expert? Well, let’s just see about that.
Below you will find 50 sets of lyrics from all kinds of Christmas songs, hymns, carols… you get the idea. You’ll find music that literally ranges hundreds of years, from the oldest church favorites to a couple modern hits.
Simply give yourself a point for filling in all the blanks correctly. Or perhaps you might want to reward yourself one point for each blank. You can even give yourself an extra point for naming the song correctly. Just make up your own rules and have a good time.
And, no, this ain’t gonna be some easy JINGLE BELLS fa-la-la-la-la quiz. I’ve spent hours hunting down some obscure and unique Christmas songs as well as some verses of more well known classics about which you may have forgotten or possibly never knew. If you get even half of these correct, I’ll be very impressed.
Whether you’re trying to kill time while Christmas dinner is cooking or looking for something fun to do at a holiday party, share this quiz with your friends and family to see who is crowned the Christmas Song Expert!
