‘The Office’ (US) Delivers Holiday Cheer With a Festive Christmas Return

For fans of The Office US, the holiday season just got a lot more exciting. While the beloved sitcom has been off the air since 2013, its quirky characters and unforgettable antics continue to resonate with audiences worldwide. And now, a brand-new holiday storybook has arrived to reignite the festive spirit of Dunder Mifflin in the most hilarious way possible.

Titled “The Night Before Christmas at Dunder Mifflin”, this illustrated gem is co-written by Brian Baumgartner—known to fans as the endearing Kevin Malone—and Ben Silverman, a producer from the show who also appeared as Isaac in Jim’s Athlead storyline. This delightful collaboration delivers a fresh and comical spin on Clement Clarke Moore’s classic 1822 poem, breathing new life into the holiday traditions of Scranton’s most eccentric paper company.

A Festive Twist on a Timeless Tale

Narrated by Kevin Malone, the book brings the quirky charm of The Office to a retelling of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Featuring Michael Scott as Santa Claus and Dwight Schrute as his beet-loving elf, the story captures the essence of the series with its signature humor and heart.

“‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through Dunder Mifflin, not an accountant was stirring,” the official synopsis teases. True to form, Michael’s Santa is armed with absurd gifts, awkward holiday cheer, and, of course, an endless supply of “that’s what she said” jokes. Meanwhile, Dwight’s dedication as Santa’s right-hand man (or “assistant to the regional manager”) ensures the office is decked out in decorations as hilariously tacky as the legendary parties hosted by the Scranton branch.

Perfect for Fans New and Old

Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newcomer binging the series on streaming platforms, “The Night Before Christmas at Dunder Mifflin” is the perfect addition to your holiday celebrations. Maël Gourmelen’s illustrations bring to life iconic characters like Pam, Jim, Angela, and Creed, while capturing the heart-warming chaos fans adore.

This book also serves as a nostalgic nod to the series’ iconic holiday episodes, such as “Christmas Party” and “Dwight Christmas.” If you’ve ever dreamed of unwrapping a teapot filled with heartfelt notes or dodging a snowball battle instigated by Dwight, this storybook delivers all the festive feels without the HR violations.

A Bright Spot Amid Revival Rumors

While fans continue to speculate about potential The Office revivals or spin-offs, including Peacock’s upcoming The Paper, this storybook offers a refreshing way to reconnect with the characters. Baumgartner and Silverman’s collaboration ensures the humor and charm of The Office remain intact, reminding us why the series holds such a special place in our hearts.

For those eager to embrace the holiday spirit, this book is available now, making it a fantastic gift for yourself or The Office superfan in your life. As Michael Scott might say, “Christmas is the time to heal, the time to reflect, and most importantly, the time to laugh.”
