Christmas Parlour Games

Christmas Tree

Parlour games with a Christmas theme can add extra fun and entertainment to holiday gatherings. Here are a few classic Christmas parlour games that you can enjoy with family and friends:

  1. Christmas Charades: Divide into teams and have players act out Christmas-themed words, phrases, movies, or songs without speaking. The teams must guess the correct answer within a time limit.

  2. Christmas Pictionary: Similar to Christmas Charades, teams take turns drawing Christmas-related words or phrases while the others guess what is being drawn. Use a whiteboard or large paper to make it more visible.

  3. Christmas Trivia: Create a list of Christmas trivia questions and divide into teams. Ask questions about Christmas history, traditions, movies, songs, or general holiday knowledge. The team with the most correct answers wins.

  4. Christmas Bingo: Create bingo cards with Christmas-themed images or words and distribute them to players. Use small candies or markers to cover the called-out items. The first player to form a complete row, column, or diagonal shouts "Bingo!"

  5. Ornament Guessing Game: Fill a clear jar with small Christmas ornaments or candies and have players guess the number of items in the jar. The player with the closest guess wins the jar or a small prize.

  6. Christmas Memory Game: Arrange a collection of Christmas-themed items or ornaments on a tray. Show it to the players for a short period, then cover it. Participants must recall as many items as possible. The one with the best memory wins.

  7. Santa Limbo: Play the limbo game but with a Christmas twist. Use a long candy cane or a Christmas garland as the limbo stick and have players "limbo" under it while wearing Santa hats or Christmas attire.

  8. Christmas Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of Christmas-related items or clues and hide them throughout the house or in the yard. Divide into teams and compete to find all the items or solve the clues within a specified time.

  9. Snowball Toss: Create targets using buckets or boxes with different point values. Players toss fake snowballs (soft objects like rolled-up socks or bean bags) to score points. The player with the highest score wins.

  10. Christmas Karaoke: Set up a karaoke machine or use a smartphone app with Christmas songs. Take turns singing popular Christmas carols or holiday songs, with players and spectators joining in for a festive sing-along.

These Christmas parlour games offer a mix of competitive and cooperative fun, encouraging laughter and creating lasting memories during the holiday season. Adapt and modify them according to the age group and preferences of your participants to ensure everyone can join in the festive spirit.
