🎄 Christmas Charades
Nativity, Santa, winter and family — pick a set below and start acting.
Christmas charades works because everyone at the table already knows the material — the nativity, Santa's routine, snow, unwrapping presents — so rounds move fast and nobody needs a warm-up. Pick a set below, act one out silently, and let your team guess. Mix all four for a longer game, or stick to one if your group has a favorite.

How to Play
Pick a set, act one line out silently — no talking, no mouthing words — and let your team call out guesses until they land on it or you agree on a time cap. Move to the next line down, pass the actor role to someone new, and switch sets whenever you're ready for a change of pace.
