One of the highlights of the Christmas season, is those fun Christmas Party Games! It is such a joy just to relax and have fun!
If you are hosting an event, you will enjoy the 3 budget friendly games I’m sharing today including Free Printable’s. These are designed for adults but you could play the Antler game with children as well.

Have you ever played the Reindeer Antler Game? You would remember, trust me! This is such a funny game.
How to Play the Reindeer Antler Game
Supplies (Dollar Store)
-
Panty hose (Hint: Buy very large pantyhose so they will fit over all size heads! )
- Lots of colored balloons
This is a Team Competition Game. Divide your group into equal teams. Provide each group with a pair of pantyhose and lots of balloons.
When you say “Go”, they will begin to blow up their balloons, tie them off and stuff them into the legs of the panty hose. Whichever team finishes first wins!
It is easier said than done! The goal is to create ‘Antlers’ which stand up as shown above. One person will wear the antlers when finished. So much fun! Be sure to take lots of pictures!
Game 2: DECIPHER THE CANTICLES OF THE YULETIDE SEASON
Decipher The Canticles has been around for many years. It’s a good brain teaser perfect played in teams because consulting with one another helps to figure it out. Allow plenty of time as some of these are hard to get.

Team Play or Individual
-
Pen/Pencil
-
Something to bear down on
- A copy of the game for each guest (free printable below)
I purchased Christmas themed pencils and handed them out to my guest. Those also served as one of their party gifts.

HILARIOUS!! I am definitely pinning these — how fun! I love pencil games like those too — and I have not seen either of the ones you gave.
Thank you for sharing the games. I can’t wait to play the reindeer game with the balloons. That looks like so much fun.
Reindeer Antler game… Hiliarious. I can see our family doing that. So much fun. Pinning.
OK… this is hilarious! I bet you had so much fun. Is there blackmail in the future??? Thanks for sharing this at the #HomeMatters Linky Party and for hosting it with me. 🙂

These games sound awesome. The antler game sounds really fun. The song game was way too hard for me but I was pretty good at the movies. 🙂 Thanks for these great ideas! #HomeMatters 😉

Yay! I was looking for fun family Christmas party activities! The reindeer antlers are hilarious :-). Thank you so much for the great ideas.
Heidi, thank you so much for those kind words. We had a blast laughing while playing the Reindeer game. I’m sure you will too!
How did I miss this post? It’s my week to pin all the linkups from the Pretty Pintastic Party and I realized that I had missed this somehow! I’m always looking for new Christmas games to add to my Girlfriends Christmas party at church. Just when I think we’ve played them all, here’s a new one. Thanks!!
These look so fun1 Thanks for sharing these – I have a Christmas Eve baby so I think these will be super fun to play at his birthday!
I love these! The reindeer antlers is SUCH an awesome idea!
I have never played the antler game but I want to now!!! These printables are great. I am not sure my in laws will do the first one, the best one, but they might be interested in the others. Thank you so much for some AMAZING ideas!
Hehe these look like a lot of fun. No I’ve never played the reindeer antler game. So cute. I pinned this for later use.
It’s never too early to start planning for Christmas! I want to have games at my birthday party, which is right around Christmastime, so I’ll have to pin this for future use!
These are great! If I can get my hubby to brave the stores to buy some pantyhose, then we are definitely doing the Reindeer Antler Game at our Christmas Eve celebration this year. Every Christmas Eve we have a family party that includes an Ugly Christmas Sweater competition and matching Christmas pjs for the whole family, so that game would fit in perfectly!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and sharing my “Christmas Morning Gift Wrapped Doorway” tradition on social media! You rock! 🙂
I hope you guys had a wonderful time playing games and enjoying one another’s company on Christmas. We sure did!
These are fantastic games, Shirley! Now, what about games for my New Year’s Eve party?! Whatcha got?! 🙂
Oh, I have some games suitable for New Years parties also 🙂
I loved this post! This looks awesome and such a fun family and friends activity. Thanks for putting it together. BTW, I have some good news to share with you. 🙂
Do tell!!!! My family will be enjoying one of these games at our family Christmas gathering this year!

Thank you Renee. We will be playing one of these at our family Christmas gathering this year.
These are fantastic, I wish I worked in an office where we could have fun and games…most people work from home and there isn’t much cameraderie. Enjoy this Thankful Thursday and thanks for sharing – it put a smile on my face!!!
You’re very welcome Antionette. Thanks for stopping by. You can play those games at a gathering of family and friends too!
Looks like great fun, Shirley. Thanks for sharing.
