WHETHER you’re hosting guests or simply looking to entertain your children, these festive games might be for you.

Using items that you already own, you can quickly and easily set up fun Christmas challenges.

In a viral video, TikTok user Never Done DIY (@never.done.diy) demonstrated the party entertainment.

So if you’re at a loss for a way to keep spirits up after the inevitable turkey coma sets in, why not give them a go?

Unlike Uno or Monopoly, there aren’t many rules left open to debate so you can keep the family rows at bay.

First up is Bow Toss, and for this all you need is two bowls, two spatulas, two blindfolds, and as many gift bows as you can spare.

For this game, you pit two people against each other to see how many bows they can lift with their spatula and place into the bowl they are holding on top of their head.

And as you may have guessed already, this is made all the more difficult by the fact that the participants are blindfolded.

While easy to set up, this activity is a lot more difficult than it sounds but will leave your family bending over in laughter at the hilarious sight.

Another option is Christmas Balls, which can again be created using items from your cupboard.

Another one versus one set up, this game involves racing against each other to blow the most cotton balls with a straw as possible.

To set this activity up, simply place two lines of plastic cups upside down on either side of your table.

Move all your chairs and other obstacles back, giving the players space to run.

Count down and then watch the chaos unfold as they race each other to quickly blow the balls off the cups with a straw.

While the TikToker’s demonstration used 15 cups per person, you can opt for as many as you like for this game.

Finally, Reindeer Hoofs is another proven crowd favourite and can be set up in minutes.

Using the same plastic cups as before, place one on both hands of each comeptitor.

Seat everyone equally apart at your table, placing a plate in front of each person.

Then pour whatever bite-sized party snack you have on hand, think sweets or chocolates, in the middle of your table.

Set a timer and watch as your family members battle it out to lift the treats with their “hooves.”

“Ready to jingle all the way with these festive and fun DIY party games for the holidays?” the poster asked.

“These activities will keep everyone entertained.”

TikTok users shared their thoughts on the DIY tips in the comments section.

“Love them!!! Great fun for the whole family!!!” wrote one impressed viewer.

“Yes! I hate just sitting around after dinner!” said another follower.

“Thank you! I’ve been looking for fun things to do with our teens,” commented a third person.
