The 12 Best Christmas Board Games for Families

Looking for a fun way to get the entire family into the holiday spirit? These festive Christmas board games are perfect for family game nights, holiday parties and gift exchanges.

Christmas Themed Board Games for Holiday Family Fun

Family game night has become a Christmas Eve tradition in our family.

Typically, we play a variety of hilarious minute-to-win-it games with an order of “gift exchange” on the side.

As our children have gotten older it has become more difficult to get them to go to bed early the night before Christmas.

They used to be worn out after our family get together, and be ready to hit the sack.

Now we need to get creative when trying to keep them occupied instead of snooping around the house looking for clues that Santa isn’t real.

This year I plan to employ a few Christmas themed board games to keep the holiday fun rolling until their eyes start to get heavy.

I am also picking up a few to give as hostess gifts throughout the holiday season as we visit friends and family.
