Christmas Party Games

Free Christmas party games that run in the browser. Nobody has to print cards, download an app or make an account. Open a game on any phone, pass it around, and you are playing before the mince pies are out.

There is something for every kind of Christmas get-together: Christmas Would You Rather to break the ice, holiday charades and a team Christmas quiz once everyone has eaten, and imposter games for big family groups. Every game starts clean, so you can play in front of grandparents and kids, and the 18+ packs stay locked unless the adults turn them on.

How to run Christmas party games

  • Start with a quick game like Would You Rather while people arrive, then move to team games like charades or trivia once everyone is settled.
  • For big family groups, use Odd One Out or Most Likely To. They work with any number of players and nobody sits out.
  • Put the phone on the coffee table or cast it to the TV so everyone can see the question.
  • Keep rounds short. Ten questions or a two-team trivia round is plenty before switching games.

Frequently asked questions

Are these Christmas games free?

Yes. Every game is free to play in the browser with no signup and no download.

Are the games family friendly?

Yes. Every game starts in a clean, family-safe mode. Adult content only appears if someone turns it on and confirms they are 18 or over.

How many people can play?

Most games work for 3 to 30 players on one phone. You can also open a party room so everyone plays on their own phone.

Do these work for an office Christmas party?

Yes. Use the Office filter in Would You Rather and Most Likely To, or try trivia in teams. See our office party games page for more ideas.

What are the best Christmas party games for adults?

Most Likely To, Truth or Dare and Buzzkill get the loudest laughs with adults. For a grown-up crowd later in the evening, the optional 18+ packs add spicier questions once everyone has confirmed they are over 18.

What Christmas games can you play with no supplies?

All of them. Would You Rather, charades, trivia and Odd One Out only need one phone. There is nothing to print, buy or set up.

What are good Christmas games for a large group?

Odd One Out, Most Likely To and team trivia work best for big family gatherings because everyone plays every round. Split into two teams for charades if there are more than ten of you.

Can we play Christmas games over Zoom?

Yes. Share your screen on Zoom, Teams or FaceTime and read the questions out, or open a party room so each family joins on their own phone.
