18 Christmas Games So Fun, You'll Forget Why You're on Zoom in the First Place

Whether it's a virtual party or the safe in-person deal, an ugly Christmas jumper contest works for both. Just wear your best (or worst?) Christmas jumper to your scheduled Zoom call, and let the virtual voting begin! Whoever gets the most votes for the ugliest jumper has a true eye for bad style.

Christmas Song Emoji Pictionary ($4) requires a short download and lots of guessing! It's truly as simple as guessing the Christmas song based on the emojis numbered 1-28 — whoever gets the most right, wins! Just make sure to share the zip file with all your meeting participants prior to playing, so that they can get in on all the Christmas action.

The Christmas Family Feud Game ($3, originally $4) can be played in multiple ways. You can either split up into teams, having those who aren't on a team mute their microphones while the other team guesses the answers (three strikes and they're out!), or you can ask everyone the questions, and whoever guesses the most right, wins! The downloadable game includes a sheet with questions, a sheet with no questions, fast money, a score sheet, an answer sheet, and an instruction file.

The Christmas Conversation Starters Virtual Game ($6, originally $7) is downloadable but requires no printing. Instead, simply share the PowerPoint to your Zoom call and enjoy! The game includes 64 Christmas-related questions, so that you and your loved ones never run out of things to talk about. In fact, we bet you'll have to save a majority for the following year!

No, we're not saying to do the inappropriate questions you asked your peers in college. Instead, hold up three to five fingers and say things that you've never done that are Christmas related. For example, never have I ever last-minute Christmas shopped, and those who have (guilty), put their fingers down.

Whoa-ho-ho, now this is a good one. Murder at the North Pole ($30) is a murder mystery party that's made for Zoom. The game includes three rounds with scripted questions and actions for every guest, plus a packet for each character. Additionally, it has character folders that can be emailed to those who are playing, so everyone can know what they're getting into before the party starts.

Get their brain juices flowing with this fast-moving Christmas Memory Game ($5). The game is set up Snapchat style, allowing contestants to see a picture for only a few short seconds before it disappears. Then, it will test each person's memory by asking them a question about the picture. There are 10 rounds — whoever guests each question correctly the most number of times, wins.

This game lies in your hands. Fill a jar up with lots of candy, and have your Zoom party guess how much is in there. Only you know the answer, so make sure not to give it away!

If your Zoom party members have a competitive edge to them, they'll enjoy this game. Give everyone a heads up to save a gift to wrap before the call so that they're prepared, and then count down from three and start wrapping! Whoever finishes wrapping their present first gets major kudos, especially if it's neat.

Turn up your virtual hangout session with this Christmas Jep-arty ($9) game. This interactive PowerPoint can easily be shared over your Zoom call and comes complete with sounds, music, double and final Jeopardy, and more!

Whether you choose to be the leader or take turns, the point of this game is to play snippets of Christmas songs and have everyone guess which song it is. Just make sure to have a festive playlist to go off of, like this Christmas pop songs playlist.

The Christmas Printable Bingo Game ($3) comes with 25 unique Bingo boards, so you and your Zoom party can play multiple rounds and never get bored.

If you've ever gone to a horse race, this Christmas Party Game Virtual Reindeer Racing ($6) is the same concept. The game is designed to be played over the screen share function of Zoom, and it's hosted on a special website — so no one has to miss it!

If you've ever watched Wheel of Fortune, you'll pick up on this Wheel of Christmas Game ($9) quite easily. The game is compatible with PowerPoint and has 13 premade rounds for your Zoom hangout to solve.
