From Eggnog to Laughter: Best Games for a Christmas Party With Friends

Christmas isn’t just about family gatherings—it’s also about that one night you and your best friends come together for a holiday party full of laughter, food, and maybe a little too much eggnog. But here’s the secret to making your Christmas party truly unforgettable: the games you play.

Whether you’re sipping hot cocoa or mixing holiday cocktails, the right party game can turn a simple hangout into a night packed with stories you’ll be retelling for years. Here are some of the best games for a Christmas party with friends—including the one game that always guarantees laughter: Berserk Cards.

1. Berserk Cards: The Ultimate Party Starter

If there’s one game that deserves the spotlight at your Christmas party, it’s Berserk. Fast, hilarious, and just the right mix of chaos and competition, Berserk has a way of pulling everyone in—whether your group loves witty comebacks, bold dares, or strategic plays.

Bring out a deck after the eggnog starts flowing, and watch your friends go from chill mode to full-blown party mode in minutes. It’s easy to learn, impossible to put down, and guaranteed to create those legendary “remember when…” moments.

2. Christmas Charades

You can’t go wrong with this classic. Switch it up by acting out Christmas-themed movies, carols, or holiday traditions. Imagine your friend trying to mime “The Twelve Days of Christmas” after two glasses of wine—instant comedy gold.

3. Secret Santa Gift Swap Game

Instead of a simple exchange, turn Secret Santa into a game. Add rules like stealing gifts, swapping under time limits, or answering a funny Christmas trivia question before you unwrap. It adds just the right amount of playful chaos to the tradition.

4. Holiday Trivia

How well do your friends really know Christmas songs, movies, and history? A quick trivia game can spark surprising debates (and plenty of laughs when someone confidently insists Rudolph was in The Lion King).

5. Christmas Drinking Games

Eggnog pong, “sip every time you hear Mariah Carey,” or turning your favorite holiday movies into drinking challenges—the options are endless. And if you want a ready-made drinking game that’s already designed for laughs, just bring Berserk into the mix and let the cards decide the rules.

Final Thoughts: Laughter Is the Best Gift

From silly dares to wild card pulls, the games you play with friends are what make a Christmas party truly memorable. And while classics like charades and trivia are always fun, nothing compares to the unpredictable chaos of Berserk Cards.

So this year, pour the eggnog, gather your friends, and let the games begin. Because the best Christmas memories aren’t found under the tree—they’re made around the table, laughing until your stomach hurts.
