Disney Dining Serving up the latest Disney Eats, Treats, News, and More!
As Christmas approaches, fans of The Office US have a new reason to celebrate. While Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch may have closed its doors over a decade ago, the spirit of its quirky employees lives on in a hilarious new holiday storybook.
“The Night Before Christmas at Dunder Mifflin”, co-authored by The Office star Brian Baumgartner (Kevin Malone) and producer Ben Silverman, reimagines Clement Clarke Moore’s iconic Christmas poem with a distinctly The Office-style twist. Featuring vibrant illustrations by Maël Gourmelen, this delightful tale captures the humor, chaos, and heart that made the show a cultural phenomenon.

Bringing Scranton’s Holiday Hijinks to Life
The book centers on Michael Scott as Santa Claus, complete with his signature blend of clueless enthusiasm and inappropriate jokes. Joining him is Dwight Schrute, his ever-loyal elf, armed with beet-themed gifts and a penchant for over-preparing. The plot unfolds as the Scranton crew recovers from yet another raucous office holiday party, only to find themselves visited by this dynamic—and highly dysfunctional—duo.
“‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through Dunder Mifflin, not an accountant was stirring,” the official description reads. True to The Office tradition, the story brims with absurd humor, heartfelt moments, and callbacks to the show’s most memorable gags. Fans will delight in seeing Toby Flenderson get his just deserts while Michael and Dwight spread their own brand of holiday cheer.

More than just a holiday tale, this book is a tribute to the enduring legacy of The Office. With nods to its iconic Christmas episodes, including “Benihana Christmas” and “Moroccan Christmas,” it’s the perfect way to relive the series’ festive highlights. Gourmelen’s illustrations bring every detail to life, from Angela’s meticulous tree decorations to Kevin’s infamous chili pot (though thankfully, this time, it’s unspilled).
For fans who’ve followed the series across streaming platforms, spin-offs, and international adaptations, this book serves as a reminder of what made the Scranton crew so unforgettable. Baumgartner’s signature humor shines through, offering a behind-the-scenes feel that only an insider could provide.
