It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas… December is here, and that means holiday parties. If you want your next celebration to be truly epic, add a few games to your Christmas gathering or hangout with friends. The lights, carols and sweets set the mood, but the games are what really make the night memorable (or maybe the source of a hilarious TikTok with your friends). Below you’ll find fun, easy and group-friendly dynamics for any kind of celebration.
1. White Elephant
The classic that never fails. Each participant brings a wrapped gift and, in turns, can choose to open one from the pile or “steal” a gift someone else has already opened. The perfect mix of excitement, betrayal and humor.
Another twist: ask everyone to bring two gifts, one good and useful, and one silly or completely useless. That huge, heavy box everyone is fighting over might end up being… just a rock.
2. Opening a Gift with Oven Mitts
Sounds easy, but opening a gift while wearing oven mitts becomes a hilarious and frustrating challenge. Wrap the present in several layers and have each person try to open it while the rest roll a die to determine when the turn switches.
Expect funny “arguments” when someone does all the hard work tearing the layers but runs out of time, letting the next player win the prize.
3. Blow Out Candles Saying “Merry Christmas”
An absurd and absolutely entertaining game. Players must blow out a row of candles while repeating “Merry Christmas” nonstop. The one who manages to extinguish the most candles wins.
Tip: add difficulty by making players say it with a piece of nougat in their mouth or with their nose pinched.
4. Hans Free: Underwear Rise
One of the funniest Christmas games for adults. The challenge consists of putting on festive underwear (over your clothes) without using your hands. The rest of the group times, films and cheers.
5. Twerk Pong with Christmas Ornaments
Watching your friends twerk is already fun on its own… now imagine them doing it with a tissue box tied around their waist, trying to shake out the ornaments inside.
All you need are empty tissue boxes and small plastic ornaments. The first person to shake all the ornaments out of their box wins.
