Nearly half of Americans consider Christmas to be their favorite holiday.[1] It’s no surprise, then, that along with opening presents and decorating the tree, people love to celebrate the season with group activities.
Trivia nights, game nights, Santa-themed bar crawls, scavenger hunts, fundraising drives, light festivals, and Christmas markets have all become favorites.
Even before these modern traditions became commonplace, Christmas was a time for community and family.
For example, in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, families would play games like charades and have nut shelling contests to pass the time and bring joy while celebrating the holiday.[2]
When taking part in a festive team-based activity, you need a wonderful name to match the most wonderful time of the year! We list more than 100 Christmas team name options below, appropriate for any Christmas activity, including trivia teams.

Keep the following tips in mind to help get your creativity flowing:
- Use your favorite Christmas song or hymn for inspiration. Listing Christmas song titles and lyrics is an excellent way to get ideas for creating a Christmas team name. From Christmas pop hits to religious hymns, there are tons of phrases to choose from when you turn to music for ideas. Choose a favorite song with your group and use its words directly or alter its title into a unique pun!
