Every family has the same Christmas arguments: who opens a gift first, what to watch, and who gets stuck washing the roasting pan. The Christmas Wheel settles them in one spin. Hit spin and do whatever it lands on. The wheel has spoken, and it does not accept bribes (Spiññer tried cookies).
How to use the Christmas Wheel
- The wheel loads with 10 silly Christmas challenges.
- Add your own ideas, or delete the ones your family would never do (we see you skipping “name 5 reindeer”).
- Spin and follow the result. Tick “Remove the winner after each spin” so nothing repeats.
Christmas spin the wheel game ideas
This Christmas spin the wheel game works for family, friends and office parties. The easiest games need no props and no rules to explain. Act out a Christmas movie scene without words, sing a carol in an opera voice, or describe Santa’s job like a job interview. Keep each turn under a minute so nobody gets stage fright and the ham doesn’t get cold. For more silly challenge ideas, see our 50 funny spin the wheel ideas and the Party Challenge Wheel.
Gift swap and White Elephant with a wheel
A gift swap goes better when the rules are random. Delete the 10 challenges, type your own swap rules (swap with the person on your left, steal a gift, open and swap, keep it) and spin once per guest. It keeps the game moving and makes the person with the best gift very nervous, which is the whole point.
Family activities
Can’t agree on what to do? Type in a few ideas (cookie decorating, a Christmas lights drive, a gingerbread house, a carol-off) and spin. More ideas live in our 20 holiday-themed spinner wheel ideas, and if it’s still a tie, ask the Yes or No Wheel.
Using it on a video call
Far from family this year? Share your screen on Zoom, Teams or Meet, paste the names of everyone on the call into the custom wheel, and spin to see who goes next. It is free, needs no sign-up and works on any phone or computer.
