What is a Christmas mystery?
It is a category, not a single product. Pick the row that matches the thing you already half-remember.
Five different things that share the words
- A party you host. People get parts, a kit or a printable, and a dinner. Start at host a party.
- A game you play on a screen. One browser hidden-object title, several Steam downloads, two itch.io horror games, and some phone escape stories. Start at games.
- Paper. Two original printables on this site, plus other people's paid files that I link and do not copy. Start at printables.
- Films. At least two movies titled A Christmas Mystery (2014 and 2022), a 2025 film with Murder in the title, a Canadian TV movie also called A Very Curious Christmas, and a 2007 Norwegian children's film. Start at movies.
- A book. Jostein Gaarder's 1992 novel Julemysteriet, plus a shelf of Christmas murder fiction. Start at books.
Names that are easy to weld together by mistake
The Christmas Secret (2014) is a Hallmark story about a lost locket. It is not A Christmas Mystery. Merry Mystery Christmas is not A Christmas Murder Mystery. Julemysteriet the novel is not Julemysteriet i Lilleby the film. A Hallmark Mystery Christmas schedule is a television timetable, and I am not publishing one here because a half-updated grid would be worse than a link to the network when you need this year's hours.
Christmas whodunit, in ordinary use, means the party or the detective novel: someone in the room did it, and the group has to say who. A hidden-object browser game is a search, not a whodunit, even when the title says mystery.
Questions
What should I open if I have guests tonight?
If you can print, use Window Calendar Hunt for a family or The Stocking Alibi for adults. If you cannot print, open the browser game Christmas Mysteries on the publisher's site from the games page.
What should I open if I want to watch something?
Read the movie table and match the year. 2022 is the bells film. 2014 is the twelve cards. 2025 with the word Murder is the puzzle editor.
