Holiday game formats

Christmas games work best when they use familiar seasonal categories: songs, gifts, decorations, winter activities, food, movies, and family traditions.

Holiday Trivia: mix easy traditions with movie and music questions.
Gift Pitch: sell a ridiculous imaginary present to the room.
Carol Charades: act out song titles without singing.
