Top 10 Games with Family and Friends in Time for Christmas

Let’s admit it – we are all excited for Christmas! While we imagine the sumptuous food and the many gifts we will receive (don’t forget to give as well), all these convivial activities would be bereft of meaning and joy without the company of family and friends. Besides, gift-giving cannot happen if there are no people to give gifts to and receive from. For the sumptuous food, well, you can indeed enjoy it on your own, but isn’t it more delicious and enjoyable if you are feasting together with your loved ones? Besides, we certainly don’t want to waste the left overs (wink)!

After the delicious feast and the traditional giving (or exchanging) of gifts, it is always great to bond with the people you care about and vice-versa. Playing wholesome games that will engage you in friendly competition with your loved ones will definitely help make your Yuletide celebration as over-the-top as you can remember.

As our advance gift to you for the Holiday Season, we give you our top 10 suggestions on what indoor games and table-top games that can help spice up the Holidays with friends and family.

10. Skip-Bo Card Game

9. What Do You Meme? (Aussie Edition)

We’re lucky there is an Aussie version of this “OG” party game! If you think you've got what it takes to out-meme your friends IRL, then compete to create the funniest meme by pairing Caption Cards with the Photo Card in play. It’s a bit heavy for kids below 17 years, though.

That is what makes it so versatile – you can play with the Cube on your own or you can do so in an intense yet friendly speedcubing competition with friends. That is why it comes as #1 on our list!

So why not buy a Rubik’s Cube as a gift for a friend or loved one this Christmas, or even for yourself if you don’t have it yet?
