The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear, the second best way is to play Christmas themed board games. We’re making a list of games perfect games for anyone looking to gather around the table for some holiday fun this season.

We love playing games, especially around the holidays, but sometimes, after all the cooking and cleaning, we love a simple quick activity that we can engage with passively as a family. This is when we bring out the puzzles. Puzzles are perfect for keeping little kids busy while waiting for the rolls to rise, or puzzling alongside others while listening to your current audiobook. Nothing beats the satisfaction of placing the final piece of your puzzle.

Each year the board game stocking stuffers post is one of my most favorite to put together! Why? Because some of the best games truly come in small packages!

Many of these games come in around the $10 and $15 mark, making them perfect for a budget friendly gift that is sure to delight!

Strategy games are the perfect choice for nights you really want to buckle down and get your brain working. These games are some of our absolute favorites and the perfect next step up from the family game category. Often, though not always, these games can take upward of an hour, making them a better choice for adults, teens, and tweens with longer attention spans. 

Board games that fall into the family category are without a doubt my favorite! These games combine a wonderful mixture of strategy, theme, and shorter playtimes. Family games are great for any player, young or old, beginning around ages 8-10 and up!
