If someone ever drops the ornament, that person needs to do the course again. Once the ornament is successfully passed off, it's the next person's turn until everyone has completed the course. This game works a variety of group size, 5 to 50 people. Write down a famous Christmas character on a post it note, then stick them on each other's forehead.

Once everyone has a post-it note on their forehead they try to guess what character they are by asking other people yes or no questions. The goal is to not be the last person to correctly guess who they are. This is a hilarious and fun game that calls for 2 to 3 representatives to serve as figurative Christmas trees. Have everyone whether coworkers, family members, or friends guess how many ornaments are hung up on the Christmas tree.

Give each person a piece of paper so they can write down their guess. Once everyone has submitted their guesses, the closest guess wins! Distribute papers with the alphabet written vertically on each paper.

Teams must then compete to fill in the entire alphabet list with a holiday word for each letter. The first team to complete their list wins. This game requires at least two teams with an equal number of participants. Set up two tables per team about 20 feet apart with an equal amount of players at each table. Place five gifts on each table. One team member grabs a gift and carries it across the room to the other table. The next team member will stack a second gift onto the first gift and head back across the room to hand their stack to the third team member.

This continues until a team has successfully stacked and carried all 10 gifts across the room, without dropping any. Divide into teams to conquer this quiz. Award one point for every correct answer. The team with the most number of points wins! You can break the trivia into rounds, go through it all at once or make it a race. In the race, every wrong answer results in a 10 second penalty. After grading the trivia and applying any penalties, the team with the shortest time wins.

Separate into teams of three or more. Set up cones 15 to 25 feet apart for each team. The first player puts a balloon between their knees and waddles like a penguin down to the cone and back. Then they pass the balloon to the next team member so they can go. If any team member drops the balloon, they have to restart! The first team to complete the relay wins.

This is preferably played with co-workers or non-family members. Go around the room, having each person state their name and the funniest Christmas presents they ever received.
