Create a Christmas poll and plan your celebration together

When should you get together? What will you eat, and who can bring something? A Christmas poll brings answers from family, friends or colleagues together in one place.

Christmas poll ideas

  • Christmas party date: Which days and times work for everyone?
  • Christmas dinner: Which menu or restaurant does the group prefer?
  • Potluck: Who can bring a starter, side dish, dessert or drinks?
  • Secret Santa: Would people like to take part, and what budget works?
  • Activities: A Christmas market, games night or baking cookies together?

Example questions and options

When should we meet for Christmas dinner?

Offer several specific dates and times, such as Christmas Eve at 6 p.m., Christmas Day at 1 p.m. and December 26 at 4 p.m. The responses help you see which dates work for the group.

What would you like to bring to the Christmas potluck?

Possible entries include salad, bread, a vegetarian main dish, dessert and drinks. Add tasks such as setting the table or cleaning up if needed. Ask about allergies and dietary requirements in advance too.

How should our team celebrate Christmas?

Options might include a restaurant meal, a visit to a Christmas market or a games night at the office. If the date is still open, ask about availability as well.

How to create a Christmas poll

  1. Create a new poll and describe what the group needs to decide.
  2. Add dates or other options.
  3. Save the poll and share the participant link with your group.
  4. Review the responses and let everyone know the decision.

For help coordinating schedules, see find dates. For more ideas, explore polls for celebrations.

Frequently asked questions about Christmas polls

Who can use a Christmas poll?

Families, friends, clubs and teams can use one whenever several people need to agree on a date, meal or activity.

Can I plan more than one thing?

For clear results, use a focused question for each decision. For example, agree on a date first and then organise food or tasks in another poll.
