Australian Christmas trivia (free printable, with answers)
Twenty-five questions about the things that make an Australian Christmas: carols on Christmas Eve, the Sydney to Hobart, pavlova, prawns, Christmas beetles and the odd heatwave. It’s a free printable PDF in A4 and US Letter. The questions run from easy to hard, so the kids can jump in early and the know-it-alls get tested at the end. The answers are on page 2, so the quizmaster can play along too. We checked every answer against a published source in October 2026. Print it for Christmas lunch, the office break-up or the last week of school.
25 questions on one page, answers on the next. Free, with no sign-up or email needed. Print at 100% (“Actual size”).
How to play
- Pick a quizmaster. They keep page 2 (the answers) to themselves and read the questions aloud.
- Make teams. Split into teams of two to six, and mix the ages so every team has a kid for the easy questions and an adult for the hard ones.
- Hand out paper. Each team needs a sheet and a pen to write numbered answers. A team name is optional but encouraged.
- Read and write. The quizmaster reads each question twice. Teams write their answers quietly, with no phones and no shouting out.
- Score it. Swap sheets and mark them as the quizmaster reads out the answers: 1 point for an easy question, 2 for a medium and 3 for a hard one. Or simply give 1 point each.
- Break a tie. If teams are level, the quizmaster asks a closest-number question, such as “How many prawns are on the platter?” The nearest guess wins.
All 25 questions take about 30 to 40 minutes. For a shorter game, play the first 15 (easy and medium) and save the hard round for later.

Why trust these answers
Christmas trivia pages online don’t always agree, and some give different answers to the same question. So we checked each answer on this sheet against a published source in October 2026. The sources include the official race and carols websites, the Bureau of Meteorology, the Australian Museum, the Australian National Botanic Gardens, Parks Australia and ABC News. If sources disagreed on a fact, such as the year of the very first Carols by Candlelight, we left it out rather than guess. Page 2 of the sheet names the organisations we used.

Yes. Download the PDF directly with no sign-up, no email address and no tracking. The sheet is for personal use at your own party, workplace or classroom.
Is it suitable for kids?
Yes. Everything on it is family-friendly. The first nine questions are easy ones that most older kids can answer, and the hard round at the end is mostly for the grown-ups.
How many questions do I need for an hour?
About 40 to 50, read at a relaxed pace with time to mark answers. This sheet’s 25 fill about half an hour, so pair it with a round of Aussie Christmas picture bingo to fill the hour.
