They are simple, hilarious, and guaranteed to break the ice at any holiday gathering.
My personal favorite is the Cookie Monster Challenge – and when it comes to holiday fun, calories don’t count, right?

No Cost Family Christmas Games
1. Cookie Monster Challenge
Needed: A 2-inch cookie per person
How to Play: The challenge is simple but hilarious. Each person places a cookie on their forehead. Without using hands, they must maneuver the cookie down their face and into their mouth. It’s harder than it sounds and results in plenty of funny faces and attempts!

2. Dynamic Duo Gift Wrap Challenge
Needed:
- Wrapping paper
- Scissors
- A present to wrap
- Tape
How to Play: This game is all about teamwork and a little bit of hilarious chaos. Divide participants into pairs. In each pair, tie one person’s right hand to their teammate’s left hand. The duo then works together, using only their free hands, to wrap a gift. To make it even funnier, have an example of a particularly difficult gift to wrap for everyone to try and duplicate. Set a time limit of 1–3 minutes, and then have a judge or the group decide which duo wrapped the most accurate gift. Expect some tangled tape and creatively wrapped presents!
3. Fluffy Frosty
Needed: Mini marshmallows (approximately 1/4 bag per person)
How to Play: Prepare for some silly faces and marshmallow-stuffed cheeks! The player who can fit the most marshmallows in their mouth at once is the winner. It’s a simple game that leads to big laughs as everyone tries to talk and smile with mouths full of marshmallows.
