The episode guest starred Lindsey Broad, Ameenah Kaplan, and Eleanor Seigler.
The series—presented as if it were a real documentary—depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. In this episode, Andy Bernard attempts to make everyone’s Christmas wishes come true, including those of a drunken Erin Hannon.
