Why Christmas Drinking Games, You Ask?
Well, let's face it, the holidays can be a bit... much. There's the endless shopping, the family drama, and let's not forget the inescapable Christmas music. A Christmas drinking game can add a fun, lighthearted element to your festivities, helping you unwind and create some truly memorable moments with your loved ones. Just remember, folks, it's all about having fun and being responsible!
The Classics: Traditional Christmas Drinking Games
Before we dive into some unique Christmas drinking games for adults, let's revisit a couple of classic rules that you might already know and love.
1. Christmas Movie Marathon
Gather your favorite holiday films - think Home Alone, Love Actually, or even Die Hard (yes, it's a Christmas movie, don't @ us) - and get ready for a marathon. Every time a certain event happens, everyone takes a sip. For example:
- Every time Buddy the Elf says "I'm not a short person, I'm a tall elf!" - Every time Kevin McCallister invents a new prank - Every time Hans Gruber tells someone he has a "special Christmas present" for them
2. Christmas Carol Karaoke
If you're feeling musical, this one's for you. Grab a karaoke machine or a Spotify playlist of classic Christmas carols. Whenever someone messes up the lyrics, takes too long to start singing, or hits a particularly high (or low) note, they take a sip. It's a fun way to add some laughter to your caroling!
Unique Christmas Drinking Games for Adults
Now that we've covered the basics, let's explore some Christmas drinking games for adults that you might not have tried before.
3. Secret Santa Shot Roulette
This game is best played with a group of friends who are up for a challenge. Before the party, have each person bring a bottle of their favorite liquor - the more varied, the better. Wrap each bottle in Christmas paper, and place them under the tree. Throughout the night, whenever someone wants to take a shot, they have to pick a bottle from under the tree, unwrap it, and take a shot. The catch? They don't know what they're drinking until they've taken the shot. It's a fun way to try new things and add a little excitement to your night!
4. Twelve Days of Drinking
This game is perfect for a larger group and can last the entire holiday season. On the first day of Christmas, everyone takes a sip. On the second day, two people take a sip. On the third day, three people take a sip, and so on. The catch? Each person can only take one sip per day, no matter how many times their number comes up. It's a fun way to spread out the drinking and keep the party going all season long.
5. Christmas Trivia
Test your Christmas knowledge with this festive twist on a classic drinking game. Create a list of Christmas-themed trivia questions, covering everything from holiday movies to Christmas carols to Santa Claus facts. Whenever someone answers a question correctly, the group takes a sip. To make it more interesting, you can add in some "punishments" for wrong answers, like doing a shot or taking a sip of eggnog (if you're brave enough).
6. Christmas Charades
This game is a fun way to get everyone involved and laughing. Write Christmas-themed words or phrases on slips of paper and place them in a bowl. Whenever it's someone's turn, they have to act out the word or phrase without speaking while their team tries to guess what it is. If their team guesses correctly, they all take a sip. If not, the actor has to take a sip. It's a hilarious way to spend an evening and a great icebreaker if you're playing with new people.
