Christmas Party Games

My name is Jennifer, I’m one of the creaters of Themed-Party-Ideas.com. Printable Christmas party games are every host and hostess’ best friend when it comes to celebrating a rockin’ Christmas party.

Christmas party games are what I rely on to create a memorable party for my friends and neighbors. I’ve hosted all sorts of Themed Christmas parties. Some have been posh; like Christmas in New York or this year’s theme, Merry Mid-century MadMen Christmas. Some have been funny, like the Naughty and Nice Christmas party theme.

No matter what Christmas party theme I do for my annual Christmas party, there’s one thing that I always include. It’s Christmas party games.

I was at a dinner party this week where I mentioned to a new neighbor that he’d probably want to bring a White Elephant to the Christmas party. Then I thought...not everyone know what a white elephant is.

"Oh, do you know what a white elephant is?" I said. His reply, "No, but I’m going to google it when I get home". I laughed. By now everyone in the neighborhood knows what a white elephant gift is because we’ve played the white elephant gift exchange game at every Christmas party for 8 years straight.

You'd think it might get old after 8 years. Nope. It’s a crowd pleaser. I once remarked to a neighbor that we might do something else instead and she flat-out told me, "NO, NO, NO!"

Even though the white elephant rules are still the same each year, the game is always so different. The guests provide all the entertainment, and that’s why this game is a host or hostess Christmas miracle. As the host, you can sit back and enjoy the party!

If you have too many guests to play the white elephant game comfortably, never fear! The Left Right Christmas game is the perfect answer. I’ve planned this Christmas party game for Christmas office parties and really large home parties. It’s always a hit!

Christmas Party Icebreaker Games

You’ll find lots of ice breaker games on the Christmas party printables pages, but some of my favorites are quite simple.

An easy ice breaker is to provide name tags for each guests. These are available in our printable Christmas party e-book. On the bottom of each name tag have quests fill in the blank, "I like ____________", or "My favorite movie is _____________".

When guests meet, they instantly see a small fact about the person they’re speaking with and conversation easily develops. Another bonus of the Christmas party name tags, is that you’re guest won’t have to feel embarrashed if they’ve met someone before but just can’t remember their name. I’ve had lots of compliments on the use of name tags.

I’ve used name tags even at cocktail parties, but if you’re concerned about name tags for any reason, here’s another suggestion.

Use very large (oversized) gift tags as cocktail glass charms. Guests can write their name on the gift tag and tie it to the stem of their glass. It’s not as easy to glance at the gift tag as it is the name tag, but it does help guests identify one other and their correct drinks.

Christmas Party Funny Conversation Starter Cards

There are several features of printable conversation starter cards that I like. First, they’re printable. So, you can print a set for each room.

Next, they’re easy on the host. Just set them out and guests WILL find them. Last year, I had a set on my coffee table during my Christmas party. I heard some hysterical laughter in the next room. You wouldn’t believe the conversation that develops out of a few funny conversation questions. Guests really enjoy them.

There are 120 different PartyTalk Conversation starters. Print them on perforated business cardstock Avery 5371 or Avery 8371 business card stock available online, or at your local Walmart, office or box-store. You can also print them on card stock and simply cut them apart.

Party Talk cards are one of the many printable party games we have for Christmas.
