Easy No Prep Christmas Party Games For The Win
Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimized by overcomplicated Christmas party planning 🙋♀️. You know the kind, where you spend hours scrolling Pinterest for fun Christmas party games that somehow require 47 supplies, three glue guns, and an arts degree.
Let’s be honest: between wrapping presents, wrangling kids, and trying not to burn the sugar cookies (again), who has time for that?
That’s where the Christmas Would You Rather game swoops in like Santa on turbo mode.
This easy, no-prep classic is the perfect solution for anyone searching for Christmas ice breaker games, Christmas games for family fun, or hilarious Friendmas games that don’t involve glitter explosions.
Packed with festive Christmas Would You Rather questions (or as I like to call them, Christmas This or That dilemmas), this game turns any gathering — from classroom parties to family get-togethers — into a laugh-out-loud good time.
Ready to add the easiest (and possibly funniest) item to your Christmas party activities list?
Let’s unwrap the fun!
What is Christmas Would You Rather?
So what is a Christmas Would You Rather game, anyway?
Think of it as the ultimate holiday ice breaker, part laughter, part chaos, and 100% festive fun.
It’s a simple game where players choose between two equally ridiculous (and often impossible) holiday-themed options.
For example: Would you rather get tangled in Christmas lights or stuck in a chimney?
Or maybe, Would you rather give up Christmas cookies or Christmas movies for a year? (Don’t panic, you don’t actually have to choose… unless you’re playing to win your dignity.)
The beauty of this game is how easy it is to play, no supplies, setup, or referee required.
You can play it anywhere: around the dinner table, in the classroom, during a Friendmas get-together, or even on a long car ride to Grandma’s house.
It’s the perfect pick for easy Christmas party games that don’t require any prep, making it a total lifesaver for busy parents, teachers, and hosts who just want some Christmas games for family fun without the stress.
How Do You Play Christmas This or That
Playing Christmas This or That couldn’t be easier, which is exactly why it’s a total holiday MVP.
You can go the simple route with a printable Christmas Would You Rather game: just hand out the sheets, have everyone circle their choices, and then go around sharing answers.
Warning: this is where things get really funny, like heated debates over whether eggnog is delicious or disgusting, or if Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is iconic… or officially overplayed. 🎤
Or, if you’re feeling a little more interactive, turn it into a movement game!
Grab some red and green tape and make a line on the floor.
Then have someone read out each question while everyone picks a side — left for one answer, right for the other.
Suddenly, your living room or classroom becomes the North Pole’s version of a game show.
It’s perfect for Christmas party activities, classroom ice breakers, or Friendmas game ideas where people actually get up, laugh, and mingle.
No rules, no prep, just good old-fashioned games for family fun, making memories and maybe a few dramatic “HOW could you pick THAT?!” moments.
