The team name is the one round everyone can win, and at Christmas it should be a pun. This Christmas quiz team name generator has carol and cracker puns like Away in a Ranking and Quiztletoe, plus festive team names like the Mulled Brainboxes, for the pub, the office or the family quiz.
What makes a good quiz team name
A Christmas quiz team name should be a pun the quizmaster has to read out loud.
- Carol puns work best because everyone knows the tune: Away in a Ranking, Oh Come All Ye Quizzers.
- Cracker-joke puns earn a groan: Elf Assessment, Yule Never Guess.
- Keep it short enough to fit on the answer sheet.
- Office party? The festive style gives safe, friendly names like the Mulled Brainboxes.
Running a Christmas quiz
A Christmas quiz is a British pub and office tradition, and a good team name is the easiest point of the night.
- Give a prize for the best team name: it gets everyone into the spirit before the first round.
- Christmas crackers were invented by the London sweet-maker Tom Smith in the 1840s, and their jokes make a good tie-breaker round.
- Teams of four to six work best for a pub or office quiz.
