All across the world, people look forward to Christmas every year. Along with the excellent food, time with family, and gifts, most people attend or host a Christmas party. With many Christmas parties coming up, these are some fun games you can play. Enjoy!

Saran Wrap Ball Game:

This game can be played at all different times of the year but it’s especially fun during Christmas time. It is made up of various prizes wrapped tightly inside a ball of Saran Wrap. The goal of the game is to unravel the Saran Wrap to reveal as many prizes as you can during your turn. The prizes you unwrap, you get to keep.

Gingerbread House Competition:

Gingerbread houses are one of the most popular Christmas activities and can easily be turned into a fun game. First, set a time limit for decorating, then have the participants decorate in that time frame, and finally have an outside party decide which house is best.

White Elephant Gift Exchange:

This is a classic Christmas game, while there are many variations to this game here is the basic outline of the game. First, each player brings one wrapped gift to contribute to the game. Next, players draw numbers to determine in which order they will go in. Then the players sit where they can see the gifts, the first person goes, the following people can choose to either pick an unwrapped gift from the pool or steal a previous player’s gift. After all the players have had a turn, the first player gets a chance to swap the gift he or she is holding for any other opened gift. Anyone whose gift is stolen may steal from someone else. Once a steal is declined the game ends.

Candy Cane Hunt:

This game is very similar to an easter egg hunt and is a game the kids can enjoy. Like an easter egg hunt, you can hide various candy canes and other Christmas-related items around your house or yard and then have the kids hunt for the treats.
