Additionally, the Guardian reports that Christmas parties often involve individuals letting their hair down with people they do not know very well.
The newspaper cites the conga line as a particularly memorable event that occurs at the office festive do.
Alcoholic drinks are a traditional way to get into the Christmas party spirit and two alcoholic beverage producers have announced changes to their products in time for the holiday season.
Carlsberg beer is to sell a special Christmas lager, which is reminiscent of the Danish brewer's festive product range in its home country.
Likewise, Plymouth Gin will be selling its product in a new art deco style bottle in time for Christmas.
