The Office” Christmas episodes are a must-watch for any fan of the beloved workplace comedy. These festive installments are full of heartwarming moments, clever jokes, and memorable characters, and are a great way to get into the holiday spirit. From the classic “Yankee Swap” scene in “Christmas Party” to the wacky “Benihana Christmas” party in “A Benihana Christmas,” these episodes are guaranteed to make you laugh out loud. They also tackle important themes and issues, such as office politics and the importance of teamwork and friendship, making them an enjoyable and thought-provoking watch. Without further ado, it’s time to break out the eggnog, hang up the mistletoe and rewatch all of the classic “The Office” Christmas episodes.
But which one is the best? Find out which episode comes out on top and get ready to laugh, cry, and sing along with the office gang.
This episode may not rank highly on the list, but it’s still worth a watch for the iconic “Secret Santa” scene, in which Jim (John Krasinski) and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) play a raucous game of “Yankee Swap” that’s like a cross between “White Elephant” and “The Hunger Games.” It’s worth it just to see Angela (Angela Kinsey) go full Grinch over her “gift” of a bootleg DVD of “The Muppets Take Manhattan.”
This one may not be a traditional holiday episode, but it’s still full of festive cheer (and a lot of tequila). The gang heads to Benihana for a company holiday party, where they get tipsy and make some questionable decisions (like Michael (Steve Carell) and Andy (Ed Helms) singing a duet of “I Will Survive” in full karaoke mode). Bonus points for the appearance of the “Benihana Christmas” song, which will be stuck in your head for days.
This episode is a fan favorite, and for good reason. It’s got all the classic “Office” elements – awkward social interactions, ridiculous party games, and a whole lot of Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) eating. But the real highlight is the “Secret Santa” gift exchange, in which Jim gets Dwight a “World’s Best Boss” mug and Dwight gets Jim a teapot (that he thinks is a “terrible” gift, but secretly loves).
This episode may be a divisive one, but we’ve got to give it props for sheer originality. Dwight (Rainn Wilson) takes over the office holiday party and transforms it into a Schrute-ified version of a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch Christmas, complete with log sawing, straw ornaments, and a yule log made out of beets. It’s a wacky and unique take on the holidays, and a must-see for any “Office” fan.
Our top pick for the best “Office” Christmas episode has to be “A Very Sunny Christmas.” It’s got everything you could want in a holiday episode – holiday cheer, family drama, and plenty of ridiculousness. The episode follows the gang as they prepare for a “Christmas special” episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” complete with a hilarious scene in which they recreate the “12 Days of Christmas” using only items from the office supply closet. It’s a hilarious and heartwarming episode that will have you singing along (to a “modified” version of the “12 Days of Christmas”) all season long.
So there you have it – our ranked list of the best “The Office” Christmas episodes. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking you’ll not be disappointed. Just try to resist singing along to the “modified” version of the “12 Days of Christmas” in “A Very Sunny Christmas” – we dare you. Now grab some eggnog and get ready to laugh, cry, and sing along as you rewatch all of the classic “The Office” Christmas episodes. They may not be as iconic as “A Charlie Brown Christmas” or “It’s a Wonderful Life,” but they’re definitely worth adding to your holiday viewing lineup.
