Split into teams, setup a relay course with or without obstacles. With an ornament on their spoon, the first person will go through the course and return to pass it on. You can only use your spoons when passing the ornament. If someone ever drops the ornament, that person needs to do the course again. Once the ornament is successfully passed off, it's the next person's turn until everyone has completed the course.
This game works a variety of group size, 5 to 50 people. Write down a famous Christmas character on a post it note, then stick them on each other's forehead. Once everyone has a post-it note on their forehead they try to guess what character they are by asking other people yes or no questions.
The goal is to not be the last person to correctly guess who they are. This is a hilarious and fun game that calls for 2 to 3 representatives to serve as figurative Christmas trees. Have everyone whether coworkers, family members, or friends guess how many ornaments are hung up on the Christmas tree.
Give each person a piece of paper so they can write down their guess. Once everyone has submitted their guesses, the closest guess wins! Distribute papers with the alphabet written vertically on each paper. Teams must then compete to fill in the entire alphabet list with a holiday word for each letter. The first team to complete their list wins. This game requires at least two teams with an equal number of participants. Set up two tables per team about 20 feet apart with an equal amount of players at each table.
Place five gifts on each table. One team member grabs a gift and carries it across the room to the other table. The next team member will stack a second gift onto the first gift and head back across the room to hand their stack to the third team member. This continues until a team has successfully stacked and carried all 10 gifts across the room, without dropping any.
Divide into teams to conquer this quiz. Award one point for every correct answer. The team with the most number of points wins! You can break the trivia into rounds, go through it all at once or make it a race. In the race, every wrong answer results in a 10 second penalty. After grading the trivia and applying any penalties, the team with the shortest time wins.
Separate into teams of three or more. Set up cones 15 to 25 feet apart for each team. The first player puts a balloon between their knees and waddles like a penguin down to the cone and back. Then they pass the balloon to the next team member so they can go. If any team member drops the balloon, they have to restart!
The first team to complete the relay wins. This is preferably played with co-workers or non-family members. Go around the room, having each person state their name and the funniest Christmas presents they ever received. As players announce their gifts, write down their name and whether you believe it is true or not.
The person who guesses the most correct answers is the winner. You must create a list of hobbies and interests and give every participant the list. Participants have to walk around the room and find other members who resonate with items on the list and check them off.
The winner is the person who fills in their list the fastest with a different employee name for each item. If your company is having a holiday party at the office, gather everyone for a quick and fun game to liven up the office atmosphere.

Christmas party games for a church group should be focused on their shared faith. Christmas games for a church group can involve bible games such as guessing popular Christmas bible verses to add a fun Christmas twist.

Should these presentations drag on for long periods of time, it is not unusual for a significant number of the employees and their guests to leave the event at the conclusion of the awards presentation.
