The Very Merry Christmas Game is the Family Game of Presents, Crackers, Christmas Songs… and Sprouts! Move around the board collecting presents (present cards) to put in your stocking.

Land on the singing space and you have to sing a verse from a Christmas song or carol to avoid losing one of your gifts!
