Beer Games To Play This Christmas
The holidays are finally upon us, which means the time for Christmas parties and gathering with loved ones is here. Nothing says “holiday cheer” like fin-filled beer games to make your holiday parties more interesting and enjoyable. We’ve gathered five of our favorites for you to try at your next festive gathering.
International Drinking Yules
International Drinking Yules
Like House Rules, use these International Drinking Yules to add a festive twist to your next drinking game or party:
- No first names. Assign everyone a reindeer name instead.
- No swearing. Players that slip up go straight on Santa’s naughty list.
- No mentioning the word ‘drink’. ‘Sup’ is a good, Dickensian alternative.
- No finger pointing. Get those antlers back on.
- Left-handed glass holding only (right handed for Lefties). It displeases the elves.
- No empty glasses on the table. That just isn’t Christmas.
Festive Flip Cup
First, divide the party-goers into two equal teams along opposite sides of a table. Instruct each player to fill their cup with Frio Light beer. Players should then place their cup on the table in front of them.
Starting with the players at the top of the table, opposing pairs must race to down their drink. They then place their cup on the edge of the table and race to flip it upside down. Level up this festive crowd-favorite party game by adding a twist at the end. When it’s your turn to flip the cup, chug your beer, and then spin around in a circle as fast as you can before you flip. Once you have successfully flipped, jingle a bell to signify you’re done.
Whoever is slowest to flip and jingle a bell is ejected from the game.
Wreath of Fire

Grab a pack of Christmas cards. Assign each card a Yule rule (see below) then spread out the deck, face down, in a circle around a glass.
Players should then take turns to select a card and abide by the stated rule.
Rules can include the ‘Mary’ rule, where all the women in the group must drink, or the ‘Rudolf rhyme’ where you pick a festive word then go round the circle coming up with words that rhyme. The first person to fail must drink their beer.
Drink While You Grinch
Drink While You Grinch
Have everyone sit in a circle and give each player a cup of Frio Light beer. Go around the circle taking turns to say things you hate about Christmas. Stuck for ideas? Drink until you can think of one. The winner is, subjectively, the person with all their drink left.
21 Days of Christmas
21 Days of Christmas
Might as well stay in the circle for this one. Players take turns around the circle trying to count to 21. The aim is to avoid being the person who says ‘21’ as whoever does must finish their beer.
Add in festive rules as the game progresses. For example, instead of saying ‘3’, the relevant player must sing the first line of a Christmas carol. Or, on ‘11’, all players must jump up and create the Nativity Scene. Penalty drinks are allotted to players who mess up or forget rules.
Reinbeer Pong
Reinbeer Pong
Start this game by handing out reindeer antler headbands to all players.
Divide everyone into two teams. Each team should take their position at either end of the table.
Have each team set out ten cups of beer in a pyramid formation on the table in front of them.
Taking turns, one member from each team steps up to throw a ping-pong ball into the other team’s cups. If they are successful, their opponent must drink the cup in which the ball landed. The defending team may use their reindeer antlers, and only their antlers, to bat the balls away.
The first team to land balls in all their 10 opponents’ cups are the winners.
