Holidays are a great time for parties. Christmas is no exception. In addition to the typical gift giving exchange games, Christmas parties can include many other fun and exciting activities. One favorite game for many holiday get-togethers includes a scavenger hunt. Creating the perfect Christmas Scavenger Hunt List is the key to having the perfect Christmas hunt.

Younger children may need a list that is composed of pictures rather than words to help them find items. Remember to include items in which the small children are familiar with and that they associate with Christmas. Some great items to add to this list are:
- Santa Claus
- Reindeer
