In this BIT: What to talk about at Christmas dinner? Try our Christmas dinner questions and conversation starters. These make for the ultimate Christmas icebreaker questions!
Christmas dinner is magical. All of your loved ones at a festive table together, indulging in warm and hearty food. Truly, this dinner is a happy place. Nonetheless, one small aspect of family or large dinners can be stressful: conversation. What will you discuss? What will you ask? What will you say? What if you’re unprepared? What should you talk about at Christmas dinner? All these thoughts race through our mind. As such, it’s easy to stick to the generic, what’s your goal for the new year? What are you doing after high school? How is school going? How was your trip to ___? Moreover, these conversation topics are enjoyable, they are less helpful in truly learning about our loved ones and having deep or fun conversations. Below, we share our favourite holiday and Christmas conversation starters! Write these Christmas icebreaker questions onto small pieces of paper in a bowl and have everyone choose one at random, or bring your favourite one up at the table.
