Most Likely Christmas

Christmas isn’t just about presents under the tree, cookies in the oven, or sipping hot cocoa by the fireplace. It’s also about laughter, and those quirky little games that bring the whole family together.

One of the best games to play during the holidays? “Most Likely To…” Christmas Edition!

If you’ve ever played “Most Likely To” at a party, you already know it’s basically a way to gently tease each other while learning hilarious truths about family and friends. Now imagine that, but with a festive twist. Instead of “Most likely to fall asleep at the party,” you’ll be asking things like, “Who’s most likely to eat Santa’s cookies before the kids go to bed?”

Fun Christmas Questions For Family and Friends

Yep, it’s fun, it’s silly, and it’s the perfect way to keep the holiday cheer going long after the wrapping paper has been shredded into confetti.

So grab your family, grab your friends (and maybe a plate of Christmas treats), and let’s unwrap the ultimate list of Most Likely Christmas questions to get everyone laughing.

How to Play “Most Likely Christmas”

First things first, if you’ve never played, here’s a quick breakdown:

Gather your group (works best with at least 4 people, but the more the merrier).
Someone reads a “Most Likely To” question out loud.
Everyone points to the person they think fits the question best, or just shout out names.
Prepare for laughter, storytelling, and maybe a little friendly roasting.

You can keep it casual or turn it into a game with points. For example, whoever gets the most “votes” for being “Most Likely” gets a silly prize, like wearing a Santa hat for the rest of the night, or earning first dibs at dessert.

Make it themed: Play while everyone’s in matching pajamas or ugly sweaters.

Make it digital: If you’ve got family joining by Zoom, this game still works, just have everyone point or hold up signs.

Playing a round (or ten) of “Most Likely Christmas” is such an easy way to bring everyone together, no screens, no fuss, just pure fun.
