If You Can’t Throw a Good Holiday Party, Don’t Throw One

Holiday parties used to mean something—now they’re just cupcakes, chips, and obligation. This week, Bryan and Amanda debate whether holiday parties are worth saving at all. From disastrous corporate “celebrations” to themed home parties, standing-room-only rules, and the true hierarchy of holiday appetizers, we break down what makes a party great… and when it’s better to just hand out a gift card and call it a day. Along the way: white elephant resentment, meatballs vs vegetables, bologna nostalgia, and a deeply divisive eggnog take. If you’re going to throw a holiday party, do it right—or don’t do it at all.
