Christmas Movie Marathon Bingo

Christmas Movie Marathon Bingo is a printable card of 25 tropes that turn up in nearly every holiday movie: the big-city career woman heading back to her hometown, the cocoa mug nobody drinks from, fake snow that is obviously not snow, a developer threatening something the whole town loves. Use it for a marathon with friends, or keep one card running across a season of made-for-TV romances. No signup and no cost. Print a few and hand them out before you press play.

FAQ

How does Christmas movie bingo work?

Put on any holiday movie and mark a square whenever one of the tropes shows up. Cards fill faster than most people expect.

Does it work for one movie or a whole marathon?

Both. A single movie usually covers a row or two, and a full marathon tends to fill the card.

Can I add my own tropes?

Yes, every square is editable on the free card maker, so you can add the ones your household already shouts at the screen.

Is it free?

Free, with no account. Popular Movies Bingo is there if you would rather have a card of real titles than tropes.
