After seeing the tweet listing all of The Office Christmas episodes, I decided to watch and rank them all:
8. Season 3 Episode 10
This is the worst of the Christmas episodes. Dwight brings a dead goose to the office, which disgusts everybody but Creed, of course, Jim and Pam still aren't together, and Carol dumps Michael. Jim thinks he is above helping Pam with a prank, Karen is there (I hate Karen), and the girl Michael brings to the party takes a bike meant to go to a child. Any decent human being would not have accepted that offer. Plus, there are two competing parties and it's awkward.
7. Season 7 Episode 11
This is clearly just a set up for the following episode. Also, Gabe is there *shudder*
6. Season 5 Episode 11
This is slightly better than the last two. Phyllis knows Angela is cheating on Andy with Dwight, but of course when she announces it to the Office, Andy is the only one not in the room. Also, Dwight was selling those popular dolls, and Toby acts really disappointed when he gets a black one. Meredith is forced into an intervention and refuses to get help for her alcohol addiction.
5. Season 6 Episode 13
Andy has Erin for Secret Santa and is giving her The 12 Days of Christmas as a gift. One of the gifts hurts her, but the episode ends sweetly with the drummers serenading her. Pam is pregnant, which is exciting, but Michael wrongfully tells his employees that they are going out of business and could lose their jobs.
4. Season 7 Episode 12
Now we're getting to the good ones!! Holly is in town (yay!) but AJ is too (boo). This is the episode where we were blessed with the I Am Dead Inside meme, and Michael destroys Holly's Woody doll out of hurt and jealousy. However, he does the right thing by fixing it, and Holly lies to AJ by telling him she dropped it in her salad. At the end, Pam and Michael share a sentimental moment where she gives him hope for Holly by telling him about the ultimatum she gave AJ. Also, Dwight drives Jim literally mentally insane by throwing snowballs at him out of nowhere, then setting up snowmen because, "The best snowball is fear."
3. Season 8 Episode 10
Unfortunately, Michael is not in this episode and Andy is the office manager. He promised to grant everybody in the office one wish, and after bringing his new girlfriend Jessica to the party, a jealous, drunk (and badass) Erin wishes for Jessica's death. Robert California is in town and acts like a father figure to Erin by consoling her and driving her home. Andy follows them to make sure Erin is home safe, and also to see if anything happens between Erin and Robert. Along with this, after Andy threatens to give their Christmas bonuses to each other, Jim and Dwight prank themselves throughout the episode. Also, you see a sweet side of Daryl when he brings a date to the party.
2. Season 9 Episode 9
The Office celebrates Dwight's childhood with a Pennsylvania Dutch Christmas party theme. You get to see that Jim actually means a lot to Dwight after he leaves the party early to go to Philly.
1. Season 2 Episode 10
THE ICONIC TEAPOT Jim gives to Pam is in this episode. Also, Michael may have almost ruined everything with his dumb iPod, but at least you get to see Kelly kiss Dwight.
