Grab your laptop, your pals, some holiday spirit, and a dash of fierce tenacity. Whether you’re the type of crew who’s down to prep for a virtual gingerbread house-making party or are more into last-minute ideas like a Santa hat drinking game, there’s sure to be a perfect game plan for your Zoom. Why not add some celebration into the mix by playing one of these Zoom games for your holiday party? From Pictionary to charades, party games have always been a classic activity for bonding, conversation, and, of course, some healthy competition.

And, as with IRL parties, a surefire way to get things jolly in a pinch is by playing a game. Nonetheless, as some continue to celebrate special events online in 2021, there’s plenty of ways to overcome the technical and emotional difficulties that come with Zoom parties. And breaking the ice can be especially tough when half of your party has frozen screens.

From weighted reunions with relatives to combining the new friends with the old, getting guests warmed up for a night of cheer can be crucial for your holiday party.
