All You Need To Know Before Playing

All You Need To Know Before Playing

If you didn’t quite get it till now, we will show you some drinking rules that can be applied to all Christmas movies brought by Hallmark. Here are some reminders you’ll need:

  • Make sure you have the Hallmark channel. It’s available at Philo, fubo TV, DIRECTV STREAM, Vidgo, frdnly TV, Youtube TV, and more. 
  • Play your favorite movie only. The most fun & the best way to play the drinking game, is watching something you really enjoy.
  • The Hallmark Christmas Movies drinking game works well with small groups, starting from 2, to as many players as you want. The more, the merrier.
  • We recommend you get your favorite alcoholic drinks. To remain sober for a longer time, get beers. However, that’s all up to you.

We divided our rules into 3 categories: take a sip, take a shot and finish your drink. Usually, scenes in the ‘finish your drink’ category happen very rarely, to not say only once during the movies.
