Friday Fun: 10 Pop Culture Trivia Questions About Office Holiday Parties

Last month, in an effort to help everyone end the workweek on a fun note, I posted a series of pop culture trivia questions about the news of the day. Based on the popularity of those posts, here are some more trivia questions for you to enjoy!

Seeing how December is the month we transform from New York’s corporate team building experts to office holiday party entertainers, I thought it would be fun to ask 10 questions about the greatest holiday parties in television & movie history. I encourage you to send the below out to your staff, to remind them that the workplace can – and should – have a nice dose of fun, especially on Fridays, and ESPECAILLY during the holiday season!

Try these out:

1. Who is everyone dressed as at the Christmas party in the movie, “Everyone Says I Love You?”

2. Jack Nicholson famously throws an illicit Christmas party for a mental ward in which movie?

3. In season 2 of “The Office,” what is hilariously wrong with the Christmas tree Michael and Dwight attempt to haul into the office during the Christmas party episode?

4. What was that movie where Bill Murray plays a conceited, cynical TV executive who gets visited by 3 ghosts?

5. What food item does a Santa-suited Dan Aykroyd steal from the Christmas party, to later gnaw on while riding a city bus in “Trading Places?”

6. What 3 words does John McClean write on the dead guy’s shirt after, “Now I Have a Machine Gun” in the movie “Die Hard?”

7. How many guests are actually attending Kevin’s holiday party when the “Wet Bandits”first set out to rob the house in “Home Alone?”

8. What instrument does the cute little kid teach himself to play so he can perform with the girl he loves at the school holiday concert in “Love Actually?”

9. In the movie “Goodfellas,” Robert De Niro blows up at one of his crew for showing up to the holiday party driving what kind of car?

10. What controversial act do Penn & Teller famously do while performing during a White House holiday party on “The West Wing?”
