It’s another Christmas season, and if you agree with us, it’s worth celebrating. The year 2022 started off with a lot of expectations, and deadlines were long overdue for many. For some organizations, they acquired top talents to help ease their business needs, and others hit major milestones like never before. And if you want to spice things up, then organizing office Christmas party games to round off the year won’t be a bad idea. 

Having a Christmas party all set up is great, but making it stand out is an important thing to do. You’ll need to think of fun Christmas party games for work that you and your employees can enjoy and make memories together. However, we have compiled 20 fun games for a Christmas party at work to help you get started. 

Office Christmas Party Games to Try Out

To help you organize a fun party for the season, we have compiled 20 Christmas party office games that would help you and your team have a good time regardless of where the event will take place. These include:

1. Guess who made this dish. One of the most exciting office Christmas party games to try out is getting your employees to make their best dishes or snacks. This game would be easy to achieve and memorable for your team. You’ll ask each employee to make a dish or snack they like and bring it to the office. Each of them should drop theirs off separately so they don’t know what they each made. Afterwards, you’ll have each of them look at the different dishes and write down who they feel made what and what dishes. The person with the most correct list of names will be made the winner.

2. Snatch the cup. Another fun game for a Christmas party at work is snatching the Christmas cup. This game requires focus and attentiveness. Here, you’ll organize your employees into teams of two. Get them to sit down facing each other, and in between them, place a cup. You’ll then ask them to do different things in an attempt to get their focus off the cup. Once you notice they might not be paying attention to the cup, you can immediately say, “Cup.” The first person to grab the cup becomes the winner among the two.

3. Scavenger hunt. A scavenger hunt is a game that can never go out of style for many people, even kids. In this game, you’ll need to hide different objects around an open space and have your employees look for these objects within a given timeframe. You’ll need to properly select items that won’t be too difficult to find and write down the name of the objects on a piece of paper. Then group your employees into teams and give them the list of Christmas objects they need to find within 30 to 50 minutes. You should ensure that you find enough space for this game to be fun.

4. Guess the song. This is another fun game to play. Testing your employees’ knowledge of Christmas music is a great way to spice up the party. You’ll need to organize a list of Christmas songs alongside the names of the singers. Afterwards, have your employees come together and ensure that all devices are kept away so no one cheats. Then, begin to play each song and ask your employees to guess the song and the singer. The employee with the most correctly guessed songs wins the game.

5. Let’s play the squid game. The Squid Game is one of those movies that we won’t want to find ourselves in. However, the lineup of games seems competitive. Players were to play certain games for a particular price, and those who weren’t able to get through the stages were shot. Although that won’t be the case for the Christmas party office game. You’ll get a toy gun to express that. Have your employees play certain games, and the losers at every stage will be shot with the toy gun. The winner of the final stage gets the grand prize.

6. Who am I? You can make your employees play something more competitive and brain-teasing. In this game, you’ll get sticky notes and write down Christmas names, then attach them to each employee’s forehead. Have them move around the room asking yes-or-no questions to find out what they are. The first to guess right wins the game.

7. Holiday costume games. Since it’s the Christmas season, you can organize a small runway session for your employees to show off their style. You’ll need to inform your employees of the costume game at least a week before. This will give them time to get the Christmas costumes ready for the event. You should also let them know that a gift awaits the winner. On the party day, have judges sit on the high table while each employee comes out to show off their creative piece. Afterwards, the judges will make a decision on who the winner is based on their creativity.

8. Two truths and a lie. Looking for a game that can bring your employees closer? Look no further. You can get your employees to play this game to find out more about each other. Have them think of three Christmas habits they have and share them with their colleagues to guess which two are true and which one is a lie. The person who guesses correctly the most wins the game.

9. Design a Christmas tree. If you want to build collaboration between your employees, then this game is a good catch. You’ll need to get trees that can be used as Christmas trees to make this more fun. Christmas props will also be ideal. Organize your employees into groups and have them decorate the trees to look just like a Christmas tree. To make this more competitive, give them a limited amount of time to achieve this. The group with the prettiest Christmas tree wins the game.

10. Guess the number of ornaments. This is another office Christmas party game to try out with your employees. Get some Christmas ornaments and arrange them in a corner. Ensure that you count them and keep the number in your mind. When each employee arrives at the Christmas party, have them guess the number of Christmas ornaments in that corner. The person who guesses correctly or at least  comes close to the correct answer wins the game.

11. Guess the Christmas movie. This is another Christmas party game for work that is very similar to guessing the Christmas song. We all love Christmas movies and it’s a fun way to remember them. Get a list of Christmas movies, and use emojis to represent their titles. Have your employees come with a piece of paper and a pen. Show them each Christmas title representation (emoji) and have them guess the titles. The person with the most correctly guessed titles wins the game.

12. Holiday photo booth. Another fun game for a Christmas party at work is organizing a small holiday photo booth. You’ll group your employees into smaller teams and have each team take really nice or funny pictures in their Christmas costumes. Once this is over, paste the pictures of each team to the wall and have them grace the pictures. The team with the best pictures wins the game.

13. Karaoke time. This is another Christmas party office game to organize for your employees. You can either set up a karaoke studio at the office or rent a karaoke bar for them. This is an interesting Christmas party game for work. Each employee will have to sing to their favorite tunes, and you’ll judge based on who sings the best.

14. Guess the coworker. A Christmas party office game to try out is asking your employees to guess who their coworkers are based on their baby pictures. Have each employee bring their baby pictures to the office. Then begin the guessing game. Whoever has the most correctly guessed names wins the game.

15. Snowball fight. Christmas is not complete without a snowball fight. You should find an open area where your employees can have enough fun. This remains memorable to them as they can be as goofy as they want to. 

Other Christmas party games for work include:

16. Deck your coworker.

17. Find Santa’s friends.

18. Ugly sweater competition.

19. Bring the kids to the party.

20. Escape room.
