Never mind your friend’s party or family traditions, have you ever rung in the festive season at an office-sponsored holiday event?. With the holidays in full swing, many companies are putting on their annual celebration for all their employees. Depending on the workplace, these parties can be impressive or underwhelming between open bars at fancy restaurants and cake in the office after-hours, but people agree they’re always entertaining.

The skit, starring Heidi Gardner, Marcello Hernández, Sarah Sherman, and guest host Chris Rock, starts by focusing on an office during “the most insane event of the year.”.
