This year, there aren’t plenty of ways to celebrate Christmas with your loved ones. Zoom, Houseparty, and Skype can help you bridge the gap left.
Try these virtual Christmas party ideas to have fun with beloved ones, no matter how far they are.
- Bingo
You can play a bingo game around Christmas, with your friend/workgroup, or anything you want. Simply make a bingo card for each person attending, email it over to them, and become a bingo caller for the evening.
- Scavenger hunt
This game is great fun if you have a small or medium-sized group. Call out items your attendees might have in their home and the first one back gets a point each time.
- Team picture scavenger hunt
If you have a larger group, you can split your party into breakout rooms, and get them to play as a team. Have them send pictures of themselves holding the items or using them.
- Big fat quiz of the year
If your friends, family, and colleagues have been doing Zoom quizzes, you can switch it up by keeping it topical, focusing on events, celeb news, and everything else that happened in this bizarre year.
- Who said it?
Your group probably has all manner of funny stories and quotable moments, so read out the outlandish comments they’ve made and get the team to guess who said it.
- karaoke
Have one person put on instrumental versions of classic Christmas songs, you can either go one at a time or sing together.
