Christmas Party Games That Get Everyone Off Their Phones

You’ve cooked the food, wrapped the gifts and hung the lights. Now comes the part nobody plans for: the quiet stretch where everyone is on their phone and someone says, “So… what do we do now?” These 40 Christmas party games fix that. They’re easy to explain, cheap to set up, and silly enough that even the cousin who “doesn’t do games” ends up laughing.

Don’t want to choose? Spin the wheel and let fate decide. Tell it how many people you have and what kind of night you want, and it’ll hand you a game with the rules and a shopping list. Whether you’re hosting a big family dinner, an office swap or a cozy night with friends, you’ll walk away looking like the host who had everything figured out.
