Fun Christmas Games for Groups

Grab a mug of hot cocoa, turn on those Christmas tunes, and let’s make this year’s Christmas party one everyone remembers!

1. Christmas Minute to Win It Games

Fast, funny, and full of Christmas chaos, the Christmas Minute to Win It Games are always a crowd favorite!

Players have 60 seconds to complete silly Christmas-themed challenges. Think reindeer antler ring tosses, stacking mini presents, or moving candy canes with just your mouth!

A few fun examples:

• Snowball Toss: Throw marshmallows into cups, one point per “snowball” that lands in!

• Wrap It Up: Who can wrap a small box the fastest (and neatest)?

• Jingle Bell Shake: Fill a tissue box with jingle bells, strap it to your waist, and shake until they’re all out!

These games are perfect for all ages and always end in laughter.

Tip: Use a timer app or your phone, and give out little candy prizes for each round!

2. Christmas 5 Second Game

Ready for some fast-talking festive fun?

In the Christmas 5 Second Game, players have just five seconds to name three things that fit the prompt. It’s harder than it sounds, especially when you’re under pressure!

Examples include:

• “Name 3 Christmas songs.”

• “Name 3 things you find in a Christmas stocking.”

• “Name 3 reindeer.”

It’s quick, chaotic, and so much fun for groups of all sizes.

Mom tip: This one’s great for keeping everyone entertained while waiting for dinner or between activities!

3. Christmas Left Right Game

Looking for something simple and hilarious? The Christmas Left Right Game is perfect!

Players sit in a circle and each holds a small gift. You’ll read a fun Christmas story that includes the words “left” and “right”, every time you hear those words, you pass your gift in that direction!

By the end of the story, everyone ends up with a different gift, and plenty of laughs.

Perfect for: office parties, family gatherings, or kids’ Christmas events.

Bonus idea: Wrap inexpensive gifts or even gag presents for extra giggles!

4. Christmas Bingo

You can’t go wrong with a classic, Christmas Bingo is always a hit!

Players mark off festive images like Santa, candy canes, or Christmas trees as they’re called out. It’s easy, cheerful, and fun for all ages.

You can play traditional bingo or mix it up:

• Jingle Bingo: Use jingle bells as markers!

• Christmas Song Bingo: Play Christmas tunes instead of calling numbers, players mark the song titles as they hear them.

Pro Tip: Print extra cards and laminate them so you can reuse them every year.

5. Christmas Dice Roll Gift Exchange

This game combines presents and laughter, what more could you want?

In the Christmas Dice Roll Gift Exchange, everyone sits in a circle with a pile of wrapped gifts in the center. Players take turns rolling dice and following the prompts:

For example:

• Roll a 1: Steal a gift!

• Roll a 2: Swap with someone!

• Roll a 3: Take a gift from the pile!

• Roll a 4: Everyone passes their gift to the right!

It’s fast-paced, unpredictable, and hilarious.

Perfect for: adults, teens, and even older kids. (Just keep it lighthearted, it’s all about fun, not the gifts!)

6. Christmas Charades

Ah, the classic! Christmas Charades never gets old.

Act out Christmas-themed clues like:

• Decorating the tree

• Wrapping presents

• Building a snowman

• Singing carols

It’s easy to play, and watching someone try to act out “The Grinch” or “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is guaranteed laughter.

Bonus: Use my printable Christmas Charades cards to make it super easy, just cut them out and start playing!

7. Christmas Forbidden Words

This one’s a festive twist on Taboo, and it’s so much fun!

Each player has a word to describe (like Santa Claus), but they can’t say the “forbidden words” (like reindeer, sleigh, chimney).

You’ll quickly see who cracks under pressure, and who gets creative with clues!

Why everyone loves it:

• It’s easy to set up

• It’s perfect for teams

• It’s guaranteed to make everyone laugh

This one always gets loud, in the best way!

8. Christmas Bunco

If your group loves dice games, Christmas Bunco is going to be your new favorite tradition!

Players roll dice in teams, trying to earn points for matching certain numbers each round. It’s fast, social, and super easy once you get the hang of it.

Make it festive by decorating your tables with red and green, using jingle bells as markers, and giving out small prizes for the winners.

Fun idea: Have everyone wear Christmas sweaters or Santa hats to make it even sillier!

9. Christmas Escape Room Printable for Kids

If you’ve got kids at your Christmas party, they’ll love this one!

The Christmas Escape Room Printable for Kids turns your living room into a magical mystery adventure.

They’ll solve puzzles, find clues, and “unlock” Christmas cheer, all while learning teamwork and problem-solving.

It’s fun, creative, and super easy for parents or teachers to set up.

Tip: Set the scene with Christmas lights and music to make it feel extra special!

10. Christmas Jingle and Mingle Bingo

If you’re hosting a big Christmas party or community event, Jingle and Mingle Bingo is a fun icebreaker!

Each square on the bingo card has a fun prompt like:

• “Find someone wearing red.”

• “Find someone who baked cookies this week.”

• “Find someone who loves hot chocolate.”

Players mingle, meet new people, and mark off their squares as they go.

Why it’s awesome:
It’s great for helping guests mix, laugh, and chat, especially if not everyone knows each other.

Get ready for some laughter (and maybe a few blushes)!

The Christmas Most Likely To Game includes prompts like:
