Activities designed to alleviate initial awkwardness and foster interaction during festive gatherings centered around the Christmas holiday are frequently employed. These activities aim to create a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. For example, a Christmas-themed trivia contest or a gift exchange game can serve this purpose.
The implementation of such activities can enhance participant engagement and contribute to a more enjoyable and memorable event. Historically, communal games and social activities have been integral to holiday celebrations, serving to strengthen bonds and create shared experiences within groups. The benefits include increased social interaction, reduced social anxiety, and the creation of positive associations with the event.
