Why use a Christmas movie wheel

Twenty Christmas films are already on the wheel, each with the same chance and all rated G or PG. Spin when the family can’t agree on tonight’s movie, or hide each one you watch to work through the list by Christmas Eve.

Pick tonight’s Christmas movie
Families can spin once and press play, with no ten-minute argument over the remote.
Watch a different film every night
Hide each movie after you watch it, so December’s movie nights never repeat.
Choose the film for the class party
Teachers can let the class watch the wheel pick a film for the last afternoon before the holidays.

This wheel wears the Jingle Wheels theme: christmas only: candy canes, fairy lights and snow. Your own copy keeps it, or pick another wheel theme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Every entry has a slice of the same size, and where the wheel stops is picked with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so nobody can predict or rig the result.

Can I change the entries on this wheel?

Yes. Click “Create your own Christmas movie picker” to save your own copy. You can then add, remove or rename entries, change the theme and spin settings, and share or embed your wheel.
