Here are a few that come to mind (mostly stolen from a baby shower I attended last week).....
I have adapted the games for a cookie theme, but you could really use any theme you wanted.
Put some baking tools (rolling pin, cookie cutter, spatula, etc.) on a tray and cover it with a towel. Give everyone a sheet of paper and a pencil. Remove the towel from the tray and let everyone get a good look at what is on the tray. Give them a certain time limit -- 30 seconds or 1 minute. Then, cover up the tray and have the guests write down what they remember seeing on the tray.
Put some baking ingredients (flour, sugar, chocolate chips, baking soda, baking powder) in small jars or zip loc bags which are numbered. Set them out and give everyone paper and pen to write down what they think is in each one. At the baby shower, we did this with baby food and we were allowed to smell it, but not taste it.
Count out a number of chocolate chips, M&Ms, hard candy, etc. and put them in a jar. Have each guest guess how many items are in the jar. Person closest to the correct amount wins.
Left/Right game -- do a Google search with this subject and you should find several different poems that have a lot of the words 'left' & 'right' in them. Give one person a small wrapped gift and tell them that as you read the poem to pass the gift according to the poem. The person who has the gift when the poem ends it the winner.
Put a Christmas sticker on the bottom of one or two of the plates. When everyone is done eating, ask them to look at the bottom of their plate. Whoever has the sticker is the winner.
