1. Pin the Nose on Rudolph
Picture this: Aunt Martha, blindfolded, stumbling around trying to stick a red nose on a poster of Rudolph. Spoiler alert – it ends up on his hoof! This classic with a Christmas twist is guaranteed to produce giggles galore.
- What you’ll need: Rudolph poster, red paper noses, blindfold
- How to play: Blindfold players, spin ’em, and watch the hilarity ensue!
2. Toilet Paper Snowman
Ever wanted to TP your family… legally? Now’s your chance! This game is messier than a food fight at the North Pole.

4. Mistletoe Kissing Toss
No, we’re not encouraging actual kissing (unless you want a family feud on your hands). This Hershey’s Kisses tossing game is sweeter than sugar plums and twice as fun.

- Toss unwrapped Kisses into each other’s mouths
- Prepare for chocolate-faced chaos and contagious laughter

- Set a one-minute timer
- Let the creamy creativity flow
- Marvel at the “trees” that look more like blobs with personality

“Um… elves on strike?”
Get ready for answers that’ll make you question your family’s sanity – in the best way possible!

8. Reindeer Antler Ring Toss
Ever seen Uncle Bob prancing around with antlers while cousins try to ring them? You’re welcome for that mental image.
- One person wears antlers
- Others toss rings
- Prepare for dodging, diving, and general reindeer-like behavior
9. Christmas Word Scramble
“SAANT LCUAS” – Who’s that? The pressure’s on, and suddenly no one can spell!
- Hand out scrambled Christmas words
- Set a timer
- Laugh at the creative (read: wrong) answers
10. Gift Swap with a Twist
White elephant gift exchanges are fun, but have you tried it with only gag gifts? It’s like Christmas morning meets a comedy club.
