Christmas Pictionary Words
Christmas is the perfect time to get together with friends and family. And, what better way to have fun with your favorite people than by playing a game!
If you are looking for a festive game that is great for groups, then you’ll want to consider pictionary!
The great thing about pictionary is that you can keep it simple–all you need is a timer, pen/pencil, paper and word cards to play.
How to Play Pictionary
The goal of Pictionary is to guess what word the designated drawer of the team is drawing.
It is hilarious and fun and perfect for all ages.
To play pictionary, first, divide your group into teams.
One team goes first and designates a drawer. The drawer picks up a card, reads the word to themselves, and begins to draw the word.
The timer starts ticking down as the drawer’s teammates try to guess the word.
If the team guesses the word, they get a point!
Then, another team gets a turn to play. At the end of the game (you can choose to end the game after each team gets a certain number of turns), whoever has the most points wins!
You can change the rules to suit your group of people, but this is a general overview of how to play.
Words for Christmas Pictionary
To make this game Christmas-themed, use some of the following words.
Write each word on a notecard, and turn them face down. When it’s your turn to draw, choose the top card, read it to yourself, and begin play!
- presents
- carolers
- christmas tree
- santa claus
- reindeer
- elves
- hot cocoa
- santa’s sleigh
- candy cane
- pumpkin pie
- snowman
- snowflake
- North Pole
- christmas lights
- wrapping paper
- mistletoe
- nutcracker
- little drummer boy
- angel

Below is a massive list of christmas words — that is, words related to christmas. The top 4 are: holiday, christmas tree, gift and santa claus. You can get the definition(s) of a word in the list below by tapping the question-mark icon next to it. The words at the top of the list are the ones most associated with christmas, and as you go down the relatedness becomes more slight. By default, the words are sorted by relevance/relatedness, but you can also get the most common christmas terms by using the menu below, and there’s also the option to sort the words alphabetically so you can get christmas words starting with a particular letter. You can also filter the word list so it only shows words that are also related to another word of your choosing. So for example, you could enter «holiday» and click «filter», and it’d give you words that are related to christmas and holiday.
You can highlight the terms by the frequency with which they occur in the written English language using the menu below. The frequency data is extracted from the English Wikipedia corpus, and updated regularly. If you just care about the words’ direct semantic similarity to christmas, then there’s probably no need for this.
There are already a bunch of websites on the net that help you find synonyms for various words, but only a handful that help you find related, or even loosely associated words. So although you might see some synonyms of christmas in the list below, many of the words below will have other relationships with christmas — you could see a word with the exact opposite meaning in the word list, for example. So it’s the sort of list that would be useful for helping you build a christmas vocabulary list, or just a general christmas word list for whatever purpose, but it’s not necessarily going to be useful if you’re looking for words that mean the same thing as christmas (though it still might be handy for that).
If you’re looking for names related to christmas (e.g. business names, or pet names), this page might help you come up with ideas. The results below obviously aren’t all going to be applicable for the actual name of your pet/blog/startup/etc., but hopefully they get your mind working and help you see the links between various concepts. If your pet/blog/etc. has something to do with christmas, then it’s obviously a good idea to use concepts or words to do with christmas.
If you don’t find what you’re looking for in the list below, or if there’s some sort of bug and it’s not displaying christmas related words, please send me feedback using this page. Thanks for using the site — I hope it is useful to you! 🐦
That’s about all the christmas related words we’ve got! I hope this list of christmas terms was useful to you in some way or another. The words down here at the bottom of the list will be in some way associated with christmas, but perhaps tenuously (if you’ve currenly got it sorted by relevance, that is). If you have any feedback for the site, please share it here, but please note this is only a hobby project, so I may not be able to make regular updates to the site. Have a nice day! 🐫

Activity: Christmas Mad Lib
For a fun and interactive way to use our list of Christmas words, we’ve created a Mad Lib story below!
With a group of friends or family, choose words from our list or off the top of your heads to add to the blank spaces.
You can choose the words at random or by looking for certain word types, like nouns.
One person should write the words into the blank spaces without showing the story to those choosing the words.
Once you’ve filled in every blank space, read the sentimental (but nonsensical) story out loud!
Little Timmy’s _____ Christmas
Timmy lived on a _____ street in the countryside of _____. Though his parents shared his home, it was the _____ that really raised little Timmy.
As the Christmas holiday approached, he couldn’t wait to give (Timmy’s guardian) the gift he’d made by hand: a _______.
Timmy took the (gift) with him everywhere — on the bus, to school, and to the corner market where he always liked to buy ____ in the evening.
Two days before Christmas, little Timmy was walking the neighborhood with a friend when he was struck by a craving for (item he buys from corner market).
“Hey ____,” he exclaimed, using his friend’s nickname. “Let’s stop here for a moment!”
Inside the store, Timmy couldn’t help clearing the shelf of (item he buys from the corner market).
He couldn’t just get one for himself — he needed one for (friend’s name), one for each of his parents, three for ____, and he couldn’t forget (Timmy’s guardian).
As he placed the items on the counter, the cashier said, “That’ll be $50.”
Shocked, Timmy dug through his backpack, hoping to find a few spare bills. Alas, all he had was his handmade (gift).
“Did you make that? My wife would love it!,” the cashier said excitedly. “Are you willing to trade?”
Timmy shook his head and said, “I know Christmas isn’t about gifts, but this (gift) is for someone very special.”
The cashier understood, and in the Christmas spirit, gave Timmy the hoard of treats and let him keep his (gift).
