The holidays can be stressful with shopping, family visiting and holiday parties. Sometimes you have to take time to just focus on your partner and enjoy some time together. Here are 5 holiday relationship games to play to spice up your holidays and have alone time together.

Couples Drinking Roulette - With two wine glasses have a bottle of your favorite wine or drink. To play the game each person will take turns asking the other one questions. If your partner answers “yes” to the question then they have to take a drink (or shot). If they say “no” then no one has to drink. The first person to take 10 drinks or (shots) losses the game. This is a fun way to get to know more about each other or to see how much you actually know about each other. You can make it a holiday day game by asking holiday specific questions. For example, Is your favorite Christmas movie Home Alone?

Holiday Never Have I Ever - This is an easy game to play and you don’t need anything but alcohol and a shot glass. Sit at a small table and each take turns saying “Never have I ever”….. then say something you never did. If your partner has done it they have to drink. You can decide who wins. By shots, points or the first one to get tipsy. Make sure you are doing this at a place you don’t have to drive afterwards. Make it specific to holiday things so it can spice up your holiday season. For example, Never have I ever put up Christmas lights.

Holiday Tic Tac Toe - Get some paper and challenge each other in tic tac toe. Every time you put an X or O in a box you have to say something you love your partner does during the holidays.

Holiday Two Truths & A Lie - Find a romantic cozy place with a cup of your favorite holiday drink and play two truths and a lie. You take turns telling each other 2 truths and 1 lie. Your partner has to figure out which one is the lie. The first one to reach 5 correct answers wins.

I spy - Take a drive or walk down the street and take turns giving each other clues to things you see by saying I spy a red curtain or I spy a holiday light twinkling and see if they can point out what you see. This is a cool way to just have some alone time together.

During the holidays relationships can get crazy and feel overwhelming. Do things that keep you connected and stress-free. Try these games and others during the holidays to give yourself a break from the day to day overwhelming duties your both facing. So happy to share this with you loving folks. Keep loving & living.
