20 Christmas Games So Fun, You'll Forget Why You're on Zoom in the First Place

The Christmas Taboo ($5) card game can be downloaded multiple times once it's purchased. One person gives their teammates clues to guide them to the word atop their card (there are 99 total), without saying the word or five other related words also on the card.

Christmas Song Emoji Pictionary ($3) requires a short download and lots of guessing! It's truly as simple as guessing the Christmas song based on the emojis numbered 1-28 — whoever gets the most right, wins! Just make sure to share the zip file with all your meeting participants prior to playing, so that they can get in on all the Christmas action.

The Christmas Conversation Starters Virtual Game ($6, originally $7) is downloadable but requires no printing. Instead, simply share the PowerPoint to your Zoom call and enjoy! The game includes 64 Christmas-related questions so that you and your loved ones never run out of things to talk about. In fact, we bet you'll have to save a majority for the following year!

The Christmas Family Feud Game ($3, originally $4) can be played in multiple ways. You can either split up into teams, having those who aren't on a team mute their microphones while the other team guesses the answers (three strikes and they're out!), or you can ask everyone the questions, and whoever guesses the most right, wins! The downloadable game includes a sheet with questions, a sheet with no questions, fast money, a score sheet, an answer sheet, and an instruction file.

Get everyone up and moving with this Christmas Scavenger Hunt Printable ($3). Whether you divide your Zoom party up into teams or give each person a full list to complete, whoever comes back with the most correct items from the printable first, wins.

If you've ever gone to a horse race, this Christmas Party Game Virtual Reindeer Racing ($8) is the same concept. The game is designed to be played over the screen share function of Zoom, and it's hosted on a special website — so no one has to miss it!

Turn up your virtual hangout session with this Christmas Jep-arty ($9) game. This interactive PowerPoint can easily be shared over your Zoom call and comes complete with sounds, music, and more!

Whoa-ho-ho, now this is a good one. Murder at the North Pole ($32) is a murder mystery party that's made for Zoom. The game includes three rounds with scripted questions and actions for every guest, plus a packet for each character. Additionally, it has character folders that can be emailed to those who are playing, so everyone can know what they're getting into before the party starts.

Get their brain juices flowing with this fast-moving Christmas Memory Game ($5). The game is set up Snapchat style, allowing contestants to see a picture for only a few short seconds before it disappears. Then, it will test each person's memory by asking them a question about the picture. There are 10 rounds — whoever guests each question correctly the most number of times, wins.

The Christmas Printable Bingo Game ($5) comes with 25 unique Bingo boards, so you and your Zoom party can play multiple rounds and never get bored.

The Christmas Movie Trivia Quiz ($3, originally $4) is made for the biggest Christmas fanatics. See who watches (and pays attention) to the most Christmas movies out of your entire Zoom call — you may be surprised by the results!

Whether it's a virtual party or the safe in-person deal, an ugly Christmas sweater contest works for both. Just wear your best (or worst?) Christmas sweater to your scheduled Zoom call, and let the virtual voting begin! Whoever gets the most votes for the ugliest sweater has a true eye for bad style.

No, we're not saying to do the inappropriate questions you asked your peers in college. Instead, hold up three to five fingers and say things that you've never done that are Christmas related. For example, never have I ever last-minute Christmas shopped, and those who have (guilty), put their fingers down.

A Zoom get-together doesn't get much easier than this. Decide on a Hallmark Christmas movie to watch, make yourself a festive cocktail, and drink up according to the rules!

This game lies in your hands. Fill a jar up with lots of candy, and have your Zoom party guess how much is in there. Only you know the answer, so make sure not to give it away!

If your Zoom party members have a competitive edge to them, they'll enjoy this game. Give everyone a heads up to save a gift to wrap before the call so that they're prepared, and then count down from three and start wrapping! Whoever finishes wrapping their present first gets major kudos, especially if it's neat.

Whether you choose to be the leader or take turns, the point of this game is to play snippets of Christmas songs and have everyone guess which song it is. Just make sure to have a festive playlist to go off of, like this Christmas pop songs playlist.

The Christmas Riddle Me This Game ($3) is pretty straightforward: email a PDF to each of your Zoom chat members, and play altogether over your call. Whoever has the most correct answers wins.
