Synopsis: In Office Christmas Party, when the CEO tries to close her hard-partying brother’s branch, he and his
Chief Technical Officer must rally their co-workers and host an epic office Christmas party in an effort to impress
a potential client and close a sale that will save their jobs.

Santa hats. Display disorganized Christmas decorations in your lobby, even amid an office setting. Reach out
to local stores like Office Depot, Staples, party supply stores and Christmas Tree lots and arrange a bounce-back
for ticketholders. Ask these local businesses to hand out flyers advertising this bounce-back offer to customers.
