About Christmas Dinner bingo

Bingo for the Christmas dinner table, with dishes from British and North American traditions side by side: Roast turkey and Prime rib, Yorkshire pudding and Pigs in blankets, Bread sauce, Pecan pie and Christmas pudding, plus a Nut roast for vegetarian guests. Table squares like the Gravy boat, Place cards and the Wishbone fill out the card.

44 entries make up this Christmas Dinner set. With 24 per card, any single one, Turkey leftovers for example, appears on about 55% of the cards, so in a room of 30 players around 16 of them have it.

A host reads out one entry at a time from the printed caller sheet (all 44 of them, shuffled); players daub the square if their card has it and call bingo on a full line.

When to play Christmas Dinner bingo

Christmas 2026 falls on Friday, December 25. At home or at a party, play on Friday, December 25 itself.

In 2027 it falls on Saturday, December 25. Printing 30 cards at one card per page takes 30 sheets plus the caller sheet, so print a few days ahead and keep the share link (seed "christmas-dinner") to reprint the same set.

How to host Christmas Dinner bingo

  1. Print the Christmas Dinner cards

    Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with Centerpiece, Roast turkey, Pumpkin pie, Chocolate log and Christmas pudding.

  2. Print the caller sheet

    All 44 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with Second helpings, Roast goose, Roast parsnips, Carving knife and Trifle; tick each one as you read it out.

  3. Put a card at every place setting and mark dishes as they are served; Gravy and Stuffing come fast, Christmas pudding and Trifle hold out to the end.

  4. Ask guests to swap one square for a dish their own family always serves, such as Red cabbage or Nut roast; it opens gentle talk about food traditions.

  5. Keep the kitchen squares like Cooking timer, Oven mitts and Dish duty for the cooks, so the people making dinner can join in too.

  6. Call until someone shouts bingo

    With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 12 (Stuffing in this set's order) and a blackout near call 40; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.

Christmas Dinner bingo variations

  • Christmas Dinner variation

    Menu round: before dinner, each player secretly circles five dishes they think will be served. Mark them as they arrive; the first to get all five right picks the after-dinner game.

  • Blackout round

    Card 1 needs all 24 squares, Centerpiece to Red cabbage; on average one card fills after 43.2 of the 44 calls (98% of the deck).

  • Quick 4x4 round

    A 4x4 card needs 16 of the 44 entries and no free space; one card is full after about 42.4 calls instead of 43.2.
