The Office: Christmas

December 3, 2018

"Moroccan Christmas" Season 5, Episode 11

We are now onto the third Christmas episode of the Office. Phyllis is blackmailing Angela, and gets to organize the holiday party. She chooses a Moroccan themed party. The power struggled between the two is some sweet revenge as Angela has been awful to Phyllis for years. During the party, Meredith accidentally starts a fire and Michael attempts her to address her unhealthy drinking habits. Meanwhile, Dwight is selling the holiday's most popular toy to desperate parents for outrageous prices. I feel like this episode is more plot driven than most holiday episodes of this show, as it centers around the reveal of Dwight and Angela's affair, and due to the Moroccan theme, it doesn't feel like an especially Christmas-y episode. If you're a fan of the show, you may want to watch it since it is technically a Christmas episode, but if you're simply looking for holiday spirit, this may not be the episode for you.
