Chocolate Christmas Party Game Ideas

What’s Christmas without a few party games? Whether it’s the family gathered together in the lounge on the big day, sleepy from some post-roast indulgence, or the electric buzz on the last day in the office before the festive break — party games are a great way to get everyone together for a bit of wholesome joy.

Needing some inspiration this year? Join us as we discuss some perfect Christmas party game ideas you can play with family and friends, or at the office to inject some jollies into your favourite holiday. And since we’re the nation’s best-loved chocolatier, we’d be remiss if we didn’t add some tasty treats to the mix. So, expect fun, frivolity and lots of chocolate.

Looking for Christmas party game ideas the whole family can enjoy? Look no further. We’ve got festive scavenger hunts to pump the adrenaline, pass the parcel (featuring your favourite mouth-watering treats) and guess the flavour games to test your chocolate knowledge. Let’s dive in.

Everyone loves a bit of friendly competition, and what better way to ramp up the excitement than with a Christmas scavenger hunt? Great for the whole family (or a group of friends if you’re looking for the perfect game for adults), it’s easy to set up and a fun indoor activity to play when the nights draw in early and the temperature drops.

To play, gather a handful of delicious chocolate prizes (we recommend using a couple of our Christmas selection boxes and removing the full-size treats inside). Then, hide them around the house for players to find — don’t forget to have all your players assemble in one place while you hide the treats, then when you’re ready, shout ‘Go’ and watch as everyone scrambles around.

Each player can keep what they find, with the winner (the person who finds the most) receiving an extra special prize at the end — like one of our small chocolate Christmas hampers, perhaps?

Everyone loves pass the parcel! This year, make it festive, with joyful chocolate treats from us.

This Christmas party game idea is super simple and perfect for the whole family. To start, simply wrap your present in as many layers of wrapping paper as you can, have everyone sit in a circle and set up your playlist of favourite festive tunes — we’re partial to Michael Bublé, we might add.

Play the music and have everyone pass the parcel around. When the music stops, the person holding the parcel must unwrap one layer of wrapping paper. Repeat until the last person (winner) unwraps the gift inside! Looking for the best choccy delight to use as a prize? Try our DIY chocolate Christmas kits, a fab gift for young and old, alike!

A simple office Christmas party game ideal for teams and large groups, Suck it Up is sure to get everyone on their feet and participating in some (friendly) competition in no time.

To play, organise your office into teams, grab enough straws for everyone and as many Dairy Milk Buttons as you can carry (if you’re feeling extra festive, grab a box of our Giant White Chocolate Buttons instead). Empty them all onto a plate in the middle of each group and hand everyone a straw. The point of the game is to use your straw to ‘suck’ up as many chocolate buttons as you can, popping the ones you catch into another bowl for counting once the time’s up (if you’ve ever played Hungry Hungry Hippos, you’re sure to be a pro). Set a timer and watch each team race to collect as many buttons as possible once you yell 'Go'.

Once the timer finishes, the team who wins receives a prize for their hard work. As a great Christmas game for adults, reward them with some tasty tipples — or a delicious hamper paired with wine, beer or prosecco (ooh, very fancy!).

If you’re a Cadbury chocolate fan (and who isn't?!), you’ll know how wonderfully varied and mouth-wateringly delectable our choccy creations can be, bursting with flavours to suit every palette. Take advantage of our unlimited tasty treats and play Guess the Flavour at your next office Christmas party, the perfect work game that’s fun, simple and scrumptious, too.

To play, grab a box of Roses or Heroes and a blindfold (someone’s tie will do). Take it in turns to wear the blindfold and take one chocolate treat from the box. Guess the flavour and if you’re right, not only do you get to eat the delicious goody, but you could win a fabulous prize, too. This office Christmas party game really is a win-win.

If you’re feeling a bit mischievous, try adding a few not-so-delicious options into the mix. Eggnog or brussels sprouts anyone?
