Easy Work Christmas Party Games for Adults
For a relaxed vibe that’s full of cheer, try these easy Christmas party games, which will bring in the spirit of the season.
Name That Holiday Tune
If you’re looking for a fun and engaging activity for your small business Christmas party, try a game called Name That Holiday Tune. Divide your guests into teams and let them compete in a Christmas music test. The host can play a few notes of a popular holiday tune using their phone, Spotify, YouTube, or any music library. The twist? The host will press pause and the players must guess the song. The team that correctly IDs the tune first gets a point. Make it competitive, and the team with the most points gets ultimate bragging rights.
For added fun, you can give this game a little twist. Instead of playing a snippet of the actual song, try humming the melody or even doing it out. While you might not be the next American Idol, your coworkers will have a blast trying to figure out the song from your impromptu performance. It’s a perfect way to add some laughs and lighthearted competition to the event.
This game is great for building camaraderie and creating lasting memories, all while enjoying the holiday spirit with your coworkers. Whether you’re a fan of Christmas music or just in it for the fun, this simple yet exciting activity will surely keep everyone entertained.

Let’s Make A Deal
For a unique twist on your small business Christmas party, why not channel the excitement of a game show with “Let’s Make a Deal”? If your office is drowning in Amazon boxes after a Cyber Monday shopping spree, give them a second life by hiding fabulous prizes inside, just like the classic game show. The prizes can range from gift cards, knick-knacks, and other fun goodies that will keep your partygoers excited. Players can make deals—either keep what they’ve won or risk it all for a chance to score something bigger and better.
Add a little more fun by incorporating a twist! While everyone will appreciate the prizes, consider adding something extra-meaningful, like the chance to win an additional day of PTO. It could be a shoo-in for the Best Boss Ever award—and that could be you! This engaging activity will not only get everyone talking, but’ll also create some memorable moments during the holiday party.
Plastic Wrap Ball Game
For a thrilling and interactive game at your small business Christmas party, consider the Plastic Wrap Ball Game. Start by creating a giant ball of plastic wrap, carefully sprinkling in small gifts like gift cards, cash, candy, and other petite presents. To play, arrange your guests in a large circle. One person starts unwrapping the ball, while the guest to their left, armed with a pair of dice, attempts to roll doubles. When they succeed, they take possession of the ball and continue unwrapping the goodies inside. The ball and dice keep moving around the circle until the game ends, and whatever falls into your lap is yours to keep.
To add some extra fun to the game, here’s a twist! If you suspect your coworkers are nimble-fingered, make them wear gay apparel—in this case, oven mitts—while attempting to undo the plastic wrap. This will not only make the game more challenging but will also guarantee a photo op that will have everyone laughing.
Minute to Win It: Company Christmas Party Ideas You Need to Try
For a fast-paced fun activity at your work Christmas party, nothing beats a few rounds of holiday-themed Minute to Win It games. These activities are perfect for getting everyone involved and usually require lots of open space, which Workhorse is more than happy to provide. With minimal set-up, you can dive straight into the merrymaking without missing a beat.
Two great games to try are the Spoon and Ornament Races, where guests balance an ornament on a spoon while racing to move faster than their competitors, and Marshmallow Madness, a fun contest to see who can transport these gooey goodies the fastest from one bowl to another using only a straw. These challenges will have everyone laughing and racing for the win.
For an extra bonus, consider how these activities might complement your party treats, like serving holiday hot cocoa to your coworkers after the games. It’s the perfect way to fuel the fun and enjoy the season together!
Quick Hits: Other Christmas Office Party Games We Love
If you’re looking for more Christmas office party games, here are a few quick hits that are guaranteed to get everyone laughing and bonding. Start with The Price is Right (Christmas Edition), where you set up stations with a variety of holly jolly items. As guests mingle, they’ll guess the price of each item. It’s a simple yet fun way to keep the energy high.
Another exciting game is the Heads or Tails Gift Exchange. This unique twist on the traditional white elephant gift exchange has guests flip a coin to determine which gift they’ll choose. Heads means selecting a new, unwrapped gift from the table, while tails allow them to steal a gift from someone else. This game is bound to get interesting and keep everyone engaged.
For a fun challenge, try Christmas Family Feud. Divide your guests into two teams and let them battle it out for holiday trivia bragging rights. Or, if you’re looking for something more personal, the Favorite Things Gift Exchange will be a hit! Ask guests to bring three wrapped, low-cost items they can’t live without, and watch as they take turns picking gifts. It’s a great way to introduce your work besties to your favorite products!
