Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
As an avid Christmas movie enthusiast who hosts an annual viewing group for classic holiday films, I was delighted to discover this trivia book covering a wide range of festive favorites. My yearly must-watches, including "Love Actually," "Elf," "Christmas Vacation," and "The Family Stone," are all featured alongside many others. The book's pages are adorned with vibrant artwork that perfectly complements the challenging trivia questions, creating a visually appealing and engaging experience for readers.
Fischer's compilation includes 100 "Christmas movies," though some selections may spark debate among purists. The inclusion of films like "Die Hard" (which I personally consider a Christmas movie) and more contentious choices like "Batman Returns" adds an interesting dimension to the book, inviting discussions about what truly constitutes a holiday film. This diversity in selection ensures that there's something for every type of Christmas movie fan.
While the book offers a delightful journey through Christmas cinema, I do have a couple of minor complaints. First, the answers are printed on the same page as the questions, which will make group quizzes more challenging to manage. Moving the answers to an appendix at the back of the book would have easily enhanced the user experience. Second, the difficulty level of the questions is notably high. Almost all require a recent viewing and even then an exceptionally keen eye for detail is needed.
Despite these small issues, this trivia book is a valuable addition to any Christmas movie lover's collection. It promises to elevate holiday viewing parties and challenge even the most knowledgeable fans. As for me, I'm eagerly looking forward to incorporating these quizzes into my annual Christmas movie nights, adding a new layer of engagement and friendly competition to our festive tradition.
A big thank you to Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
