About Christmas quizzes
Each Christmas quiz contains two miscellaneous rounds, a novelty round, a blockbusters round, a true or false question, an anagram, and two tie break questions.
Blockbuster rounds
There are 4 types of blockbuster rounds that come up in our Christmas quizzes.
Blockbusters ABC - All the answers begin with the letter/s specified.
Blockbusters Trivia Trail - The last letter of the first answer, is the first letter of the second answer, and so on.
Blockbusters 9 spells 10 - The first letters of the first 9 answers, spells the final answer in the round.
Blockbuster special - The first letter of each answer spells a special Christmas word or name
In a random format, the questions get merged into a number of straight miscellaneous rounds. (Unless it makes sense for the novelty and/or blockbusters round to remain grouped).
In a categorised format, quizzes are laid out in the following rounds;
Q 1 to 20 - Miscellaneous part 1
Q 21 to 25 - Novelty round
Q 26 to 35 - Blockbusters round
Q 36 - 45 - Micellaneous round part 2
Example Christmas quiz questions include;

Question 2
The title of Alan Partridges' 1995 Christmas special was Knowing Me, Knowing…what?
Yule
Knowing Me, Knowing Yule with Alan Partridge - Where Alan's attempt at product placement was blatantly exposed, he punched both a man in a wheelchair and a (fictional) director of programming at the BBC with his hand inside a turkey, and had a particularly harrowing meeting at the BBC cafeteria (involving assault by cheese), after which, he was left in no doubt his BBC TV career was over.
Question 3
What band had a 2003 Christmas single called 'Christmas Time; Don't Let The Bells End'?
The Darkness
Released in Dec to compete in the famous UK Christmas No 1 race & the bookies favourite, it was pipped to the post by the relatively unheard-of Gary Jules & Michael Andrews cover of Tears for Fears song Mad World / Justin Hawkins was reportedly very bitter about the defeat, especially after Jules branded the Darkness as being "Hilarious", showing again that The Darkness were predominantly viewed as a novelty act / Even so, the song reached Number Two in the UK singles chart.
Question 4
According to Luke, how far gone was Mary in her pregnancy before she told Joseph? 3 months
After conception she stayed with her cousin Elizabeth for 3 months before returning home
