I’ll take an eggnog, shaken, not stirred.ĥ.) “Moroccan Christmas” – S5, Ep11. Not a whole lot else to report, though good on Jim (Bear-man’s alter-ego) for shelling out for some nice-looking jewelry for Pam.īond – Santa Bond. It has a few things going for it – the return of Holly (a Christmas-themed name, as it were) is enough to get the audience’s attention, and the diabolical, continually escalating snowball fight between Jim and Dwight that starts with a harmless offhand remark is funny, especially at the end, but the Andy-Darryl-Pam-Jada subplot falls completely flat and has a goofy ending if you ask me.

And the best part? You can easily watch all of The Office Christmas episodes on Peacock now.In what is without a doubt the longest-titled Tuesdays with Cory post in the blog’s short existence, I’m continuing last year’s “extravaganza” – which at the time apparently only amounted to one festive post – by spreading some holiday cheer in the form of good-old-fashioned Buzzfeed clickbait ranking fodder.
