Christmas karaoke

This is a classic Christmas party game that is very popular. But we added our own spin to it. This version is Karaoke but with a theme-based twist. Instead of singing well, one has to sing these carols off-key. This game is harder than it looks and will surely leave you and your guests in splits.

The game of the ugly sweater

When the guests come, you should give each of them a non-breakable ornament to wear as a pin on their sweater. The player who can capture someone saying “holiday” or “Christmas” first will receive their ornament as a reward. You could also choose a word of your preference. This will lead to a lot of confusing conversations but will surely keep your guests entertained throughout. The winner of the evening will be determined by who has the most decorations after it is all said and done.
