From a Secret Santa swap gone wrong to a Christmas party showdown, get ready to watch the Dunder Mifflin crew bring laughs, festive chaos and holiday cheer

Looking for a comforting TV binge-watch after decking the halls or finishing a holiday movie marathon? The Office is the perfect series to stream and revisit during the season, particularly its Christmas episodes.

In fact, some of the funniest Scranton branch shenanigans come courtesy of the Party Planning Committee and its Dunder Mifflin Christmas party. Throughout the NBC mockumentary’s nine-season run, there have been nine festive episodes that not only capture traditions characteristic of the season but also heartwarming moments in between pranks and hilarious one-liners.

If streaming the Emmy Award-winning show isn’t enough, add the 2024 thematic book The Night Before Christmas at Dunder Mifflin — inspired and written by actor Brian Baumgartner (who played Kevin on the series) and producer Ben Silverman — to your wish list.

Ready to celebrate the holiday season the Scranton way? Check out this complete list of all the Christmas episodes of The Office that are streaming on Peacock.

On this double episode, Michael gets his heart broken when his girlfriend Carol Stills (played by Carell’s real-life wife, Nancy Carell) dumps him, so Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) takes him out drinking with Dwight and Jim at the local Benihana.
