5 Easy & Fun Christmas Games to Keep Your Guests Entertained

Planning a Christmas party and want to keep your guests engaged, laughing, and full of holiday cheer? Whether you're organizing a corporate holiday party, a family gathering, or just a festive celebration, a few simple, interactive games can make all the difference.

Let’s unwrap 5 crowd-pleasing Christmas games that your emcee (or you!) can run with ease. The best part? These games are zero-stress, they require little to no prep and are perfect for all age groups.

1. Santa Says (The Holiday Version of Simon Says)

My personal favorite! This is a festive twist on a classic game that both kids and adults enjoy.

Swap “Simon” for “Santa” and let the fun begin! You may give silly Christmas-themed commands like:

• Santa says hop like a reindeer.

• Santa says pretend to wrap a gift.

• Spin like a snowflake!

Anyone who follows a command without hearing “Santa says” is out. Keep it moving quickly for maximum laughs and energy!

2. Speak ‘Ho Ho Ho’ - In Your Most Creative Way

Challenge your guests to say “Ho Ho Ho” in their funniest or most creative voices:

• Opera Santa

• Robot Santa

• Pirate Santa

• DJ Santa

Let the audience vote for their favorite or award a prize to the most hilarious one. This lighthearted game gets even shy guests laughing and participating.

3. Wrap It Up! – Speed Wrapping Challenge

Players are given 60 seconds (or any short time frame) to wrap a box using wrapping paper, tape, and ribbon. To make it trickier, consider using oven mitts or blindfold the players.

This works great as a team-building game, and the audience can vote for the best, or funniest wrapping job!

4. Reindeer Relay Race

Set up a short obstacle course or race lane. Each player must gallop or hop like a reindeer to complete it.

Add fun tasks like:

• Tossing a “gift” into Santa’s sack

• Waving to the “North Pole” camera

• Wearing reindeer antlers for extra festive fun!

This game is high-energy and perfect for getting everyone moving, especially after food or drinks.

5. Guess That Carol

Everyone loves Christmas music, and this game taps into nostalgia and fun competition. Simply play a short clip of a Christmas song, and see who can guess the carol first.

Bonus points if they can sing the next line!
