The holiday season is here, and what better way to celebrate than with a fun-filled party? Whether you’re hosting a cozy get-together with friends or a large family gathering, adult games for Christmas can transform your celebration into an unforgettable experience. If you want to break away from the usual Christmas routines and bring some excitement to your festivities, check out these festive game ideas!
1. Christmas Cocktail Competition: Shake Up Your Holiday Spirits
If you're looking to put your bartending skills to the test, a Christmas cocktail competition is just the thing. Invite guests to bring their favorite holiday cocktail recipes and have a tasting session. Set up a voting system and award a prize to the winning drink! Whether it’s a spiked eggnog or a gingerbread martini, this game is sure to add flavor to your party. Bonus: Serve the cocktails with a side of laughter and holiday cheer!
2. Holiday Movie Drinking Game: Cheers to Christmas Classics
If you plan on watching a Christmas movie marathon, turn it into a competitive drinking game. Choose a Christmas classic like Home Alone or Elf and create rules based on certain phrases or actions (e.g., take a drink every time someone says "Merry Christmas" or "Buddy the Elf"). Make it even more fun by switching up the drinks—hot cocoa for the non-drinkers or festive cocktails for those who are ready to sip and laugh their way through the season.
3. Wrap That Gift: The Ultimate Holiday Wrapping Challenge
This holiday season, put your gift-wrapping skills to the test! Get creative by wrapping awkwardly shaped presents, like a football or a lava lamp. Challenge your friends and family to see who can wrap the best (and funniest) gifts. You can even turn it into a team competition, with one person wrapping while the other provides creative ideas. The result? A lot of laughs and plenty of beautifully wrapped—or hilariously wrapped—gifts.
4. Name That Tune: Christmas Edition: Tune Into the Holidays
What’s better than a good old-fashioned game of "Name That Tune" with a Christmas twist? Grab a playlist of your favorite holiday songs and test your guests' knowledge of Christmas classics. To raise the stakes, add a competitive twist by having guests compete for points as they guess the song titles after hearing just a few notes. The person who guesses the most songs wins the ultimate holiday prize—bragging rights until next year!
5. Pick Me Up Card Game: Flirt Your Way Through the Holiday Season
For those looking to add a bit of cheeky fun to their holiday party, Pick Me Up is the perfect addition to your Christmas game lineup. It’s a playful, flirtatious card game that turns cheesy pick-up lines into a hilarious competition. It’s a great way to bond with friends, share some laughs, and practice your best flirting techniques without the pressure of a real date. The perfect game for adults looking to let loose and enjoy the lighter side of the holidays!
6. Plastic Wrap Ball Game: Unwrap the Fun
The Plastic Wrap Ball Game is an energetic, fast-paced game that will keep your guests laughing all night. Wrap a bunch of small gifts, candy, or party favors in layers of plastic wrap and pass the ball around the group. Players take turns unwrapping until someone rolls doubles on a pair of dice. When doubles are rolled, the ball passes to the next player, and they continue unwrapping. The player who unwraps the most items gets to keep them, making for an exciting and competitive game.
7. Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest: Fashion or Faux Pas?
Who doesn’t love an ugly sweater contest? Invite your guests to arrive in their most outrageous holiday attire and vote on the ugliest sweater of the evening. Offer a prize for the winner, whether it's a quirky Christmas ornament, a gift card, or just the honor of being the most fashionably challenged guest at the party. It’s a great icebreaker and a way to bring even more holiday spirit to the event.
