Virtual Advent Tour 2022

A key part of our holidays every year is watching specials and movies, but while sometimes the tropes are old and the themes cheesy, it’s still fun to view them.

Last year, I made us bingo cards for the seasonal viewing we were doing and my mom and I had a lot of fun filling them in. So I made us new new boards for this year for this year.

Click through and you’ll be given a playing board. You can either play online or print it out. (If you hate the board you get, instructions for getting a different one are under “Help.” There are 30 different versions and over 50 categories, so don’t take one that you know you’ve got no shot at filling.)

I’d think back to what you’ve already seen so far this season, rather than moving forward from today, but YMMV. And if you’re a reader, rather than a viewer, most of these will work with your holiday-themed books, as well.

Let us know in the comments when you hit bingo! And have fun!
