152 | Name That Christmas Movie Trivia

Posted on December 22, 2021June 27, 2025 by Brian Rollins

Can you Name That Christmas Movie? We’ll give you three actors from the film and you have to guess the Christmas movie (or a movie that takes place during Christmas).

I know these “Name That” episodes are some of the listeners’ favorites, so why not dive in for the Holidays? As always, you’ve got three rounds of ten questions each. Good luck and happy holidays.

Update: Geeky Round – Question 4 was wrong in the initial upload (I misread the answer for three again). It’s been updated, so re-download the episode if you get the wrong one (or scroll down to the transcript below).

If there’s a film you think we’ve missed, let us know. Also, is there a movie we should not have included? Let the debate begin! Either way, we hope you have fun with Name That Christmas Movie.

The shop is still open, but I don’t know if you’ll be able to get stuff in time for the big day. That shouldn’t stop you from going and looking. Get something for yourself! Ring in the new year with some Dorky Geeky Nerdy swag.
