Setting up the game:

Guess the Christmas Movie Drawing Game
A childhood classic with a fun (boozy) twist!
What you’ll need…
- Notebook.
- Pen.
- Hat (or bowl).
- Timer/stopwatch (90 seconds).
- Your favorite drink.
Setting up the game:
- Just like we did for the Who Am I? game, we will begin setting up by cutting small pieces of paper (About the size of a business card).
- On each piece of paper, write down the name of a Christmas movie.
- Put all the pieces of paper in a hat (or bowl).
How to play:
- One person in your group will be the timer. The other will be the artist.
- The timer will pick a piece of paper out of the hat and give it to the artist.
- It’s important that the timer and the artist keep the name on the paper a secret.
- When the timer starts the 90 second clock, the artist should begin drawing (everyone needs to be able to see).
- The goal of the game is to guess the correct movie based on the artist’s drawing. The artist can draw anything (a character, a memorable scene, etc.) but can’t spell out any words.
- If the group doesn’t correctly guess the movie within 90 seconds, the artist must take a sip of their drink.
- If the group does correctly guess the movie within 90 seconds, everyone takes a sip of their drink in celebration. CHEERS!!!
Die Hard Drinking Game

- A way to stream Die Hard.
- Your favorite drink (you probably know this by now).
