holiday party

Seasonal office bash

A holiday party is a social gathering held during a holiday season, typically in late December around Christmas and New Year's.

The phrase often serves as a religiously neutral alternative to "Christmas party," especially in workplaces aiming to include employees of various backgrounds: The office holiday party is next Friday.

These gatherings usually feature food, drinks, and sometimes gift exchanges.
