28 Fun Christmas Party Games for Adults to Play This Year

Turn the holiday headache into a fun challenge. Tangle strands of lights into jumbles of cords, then see how fast teams can sort each strand out.

Similar in spirit to a tacky sweater contest, this challenge can be completed from start to finish at the party. Give every guest a plain headband along with an array of festive materials (bottle brush trees, putz houses, tiny reindeer) and craft supplies (glitter, construction paper).

Party Game Ideas has a fun suggestion for a competitive activity. Challenge your party guests to see who can wrap a present the fastest. The catch? They must work in pairs and each person can only use one hand!

Hang on to those empty 9-grid boxes of ornaments because they can double as tic-tac-toe grids! Place the boxes alongside a bowl of ornaments in two distinct patterns or colorways.

Think of this as a festive twist on beer pong using jingle bells. Or, for a beer pong-cornhole hybrid, check out a tutorial at Playground Park Bench.

Draw an image of a reindeer on butcher or kraft paper, then challenge guests to place his "nose" (red gift bows) in the right spot while blindfolded. (The game gets even more challenging after partygoers have imbibed a bit!)

Pop some popcorn and make some hot chocolate for a Christmas movie night! Print off copies of a Christmas Movie Bingo game to get the whole gang involved in the fun. Or queue up your favorite Hallmark Christmas movie and try your hand at Hallmark Christmas Movie Bingo!

Go through the alphabet in a circle, as each person says a Christmas related name, item, song, and so on, for the letter they have. If you hesitate or draw a blank, you have to drink!

How low can you go? Use a Christmas scarf or candy cane prop to make this party game more festive, and for even more of a challenge, tuck a balloon in your shirts for "Santa" bellies.

Also known as "Celebrity," each player draws from a pile of index cards featuring the name of a Christmas-related character (from Chevy Chase to Santa) and, without looking, sticks it to his or her head. Guests ask each other "yes" or "no" questions for everyone to guess their identities.

This game combines two of our favorite things: Christmas movies and Christmas cocktails. So turn on Elf and play along, but remember to drink responsibly! Get the full tutorial at Delish.

Pick three "facts" (think anything from your favorite Christmas memories to the worst gifts you've ever been given), and see how many people can pick the lie from three statements. Or, try "Two Naughties and a Nice," where you reveal three things (two naughty, one nice) and people have to guess which two are legit.
