Christmas Wheel
Handles the December logistics: Secret Santa pairings, who opens next, which film goes on, which game gets played. Load names or activities and spin.
A Christmas wheel randomly picks names, gifts, or festive activities when you spin it — handy for Secret Santa, choosing gifts, and holiday party games.
What is a christmas wheel?
A Christmas wheel is a spinning wheel you fill with names, gift ideas, or festive activities. Spinning it lands on one at random, making Secret Santa draws, gift decisions, and holiday games quick and fair.
What is on the Christmas Wheel by default?
The christmas wheel loads with these 8 options, so you can spin it straight away without setting anything up. Every one of them can be edited, removed, or replaced with your own list — the wheel redraws itself as you type, and nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere.
- Secret Santa draw
- Open a gift
- Sing a carol
- Christmas movie
- Festive snack
- Share a memory
- Ugly sweater vote
- Board game
When should you use a christmas wheel?
- Drawing names for Secret Santa
- Choosing a gift when you're stuck
- Running festive party games
- Picking a holiday activity for the family

Frequently asked questions
Can I use it for Secret Santa?
Yes. Add everyone's names and spin to draw pairings fairly.
Is the Christmas wheel free?
Yes, it is free with no sign-up.
Can I customize it?
Yes. Add your own names, gifts, or festive activities.
Can I share a wheel with someone else?
Yes. Press Share and the link is copied to your clipboard. Anyone who opens it gets the wheel with your exact options already loaded, so a teacher can bookmark one link per class and a group can spin the same wheel from different phones. The options travel in the link itself — nothing is saved to an account, because there are no accounts.
Do I need an account to save a wheel?
No, and there is no account to make. A wheel is saved by keeping its share link — bookmark it, paste it into a lesson plan, or send it to whoever needs it. Because the options live in the URL rather than on a server, the link keeps working without anyone logging in.
