With the holiday season just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how you can entertain your guests during the festivities. While holiday movies, delicious food, and decorations are enough to keep everyone in high spirits, it’s always a good idea to spice up things with some fun and festive holiday games. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
1. Holiday Charades:
Charades is a classic game that everyone loves. The holiday season gives you the perfect theme for the game, and you can create categories like Christmas movies, Christmas songs or Christmas characters. Divide your guests into teams and let the fun begin.
2. Holiday Trivia:
Holiday trivia is another great game that can be played with a group of people. Make a list of questions related to Christmas, Hanukkah or any other holiday that you and your guests celebrate. You can divide your guests into teams or play it individually.
3. Snowman Building Contest:
Building snowmen is a fun activity that everyone enjoys. Create teams and provide them with materials like hats, scarfs, carrots, etc. to create a snowman. Give your guests a time limit to complete the snowman, and then vote for the best one. The winning team gets a prize.
4. Stocking Guessing:
Fill a stocking with holiday-themed items like candy canes, small toys, and trinkets. Pass the stocking around and ask guests to guess by feeling what’s inside without looking. The person who guesses the most correct items wins.
5. Christmas Movie Bingo:
Create bingo cards with holiday-themed words and phrases like “snow,” “Santa,” “presents,” and so on. Use Christmas movies or TV shows as the source for the words, and when any word or phrase appears in the movie, players can mark it off on their card. The first person to get bingo wins.
6. Christmas Tree Decorating Competition:
This game is perfect for the creative members of your group. Divide guests into teams and provide each team with a small Christmas tree, decoration materials, and ornaments. Let them decorate the trees, and at the end, the winning team gets a prize.
7. Wrap Battle:
Wrap Battle is an exciting new game that has gained popularity lately. Give your guests small items, and they have to wrap it creatively. The most unique and creative wrapping wins.
8. Peg the Nose on Rudolph:
This game is similar to pin the tail on the donkey. You can play this game by using a poster of Rudolph with a missing nose. Each player is given a red ball with tape on the backside. Blindfold the players and let them pin the nose on Rudolph.
These games will quickly add a lot of fun to your holiday party, and your guests will have a great time. So gather your friends and family for a night filled with food, fun, and festive games. Happy holidays!
