Play This or That
Question 1 of 10
This or that?
Tap a side, or press 1 or 2
These 30 Christmas this or that questions are the classic holiday debates: hot cocoa or apple cider, real tree or fake tree, white lights or colored lights, presents first or breakfast first. They're quick, cozy and clean, and many fit any winter holiday, so they work for family nights, class parties and office get-togethers.
Pick one, and once a question has 10 answers you'll see how players split, with the number of votes. Try guessing the winner before you tap.

This or That: questions and answers
How do you play This or That?
Someone reads two options and everyone picks one, fast, without overthinking. Start with "Hot cocoa or apple cider?" Here you tap a side (or press 1 or 2), and once a question has 10 answers the split shows right after your pick.
Are these questions OK for school?
Yes. All 30 questions in Christmas This or That are written to be school-safe: nothing scary, gross beyond silly, or mean, and no dating, politics or religion. They suit classrooms, youth groups, family game night and team calls.
What do the percentages mean?
Each split is the share of players on BracketRanker who picked each side, with n, the number of answers. A question shows a split once it has 10 answers, marked "early" until it has 30; before that you see how many answers it has so far. Big Screen and classroom votes are counted separately, so one room can't swamp the numbers.
Can I play these on a big screen or in class?
Yes. "Play on the big screen" shows one question at a time in a projector-sized layout. The room votes by show of hands, or with 1 or 2 in a stream chat, and the host taps the winning side.
How many questions are on this page?
30 on this page, all listed above. Play 10 or 20 in a random order, or go through every one.
