It is a hoot watching people play! Some pick up the candy very slowly and methodically, trying not to pick the secret Santa. When the player picks up the M&M on the secret Santa, everyone yells “Don’t Eat Santa!” Choose a different player and start over. Then the player comes back into the room and begins picking up and eating one M&M at a time. The remaining players agree on one secret Santa. The instructions are on the printable, but here is how you play: One of the best neighbor gifts we have ever received!! We originally got this game as a neighbor gift. (It makes a great classroom party as well.) Maybe it will even become a tradition at your house like it is at ours! I decided to make up a printable using so that you can play this fun game with your family. We have even played with chocolate chips when pickin’s were slim in the candy department. We like to use M&M’s, but any small candy will do. In fact, every year when I ask my boys what Christmas activities we should do as a family, one of them always shouts out “Don’t Eat Santa!” They all love it.Īnd any game that involves chocolate is a winner in my book too.

This game has remained a family favorite. Several years ago I shared a few ideas for Christmas games. Don’t Eat Santa is a fun Christmas game the whole family can enjoy! Just download and print out the free printable game and enjoy it for years to come.
