    British companies celebrate Christmas with office parties and time off around the holidays. Many businesses close on Christmas Day and provide additional public holidays. Most companies host Christmas parties in December as a way to thank employees for their work throughout the year. These festive gatherings typically include a meal and drinking, with turkey, ham and Christmas pudding commonly served. Office parties are an important part of UK work culture as they boost morale and bring employees together outside the workplace. While celebrating, employees should avoid overindulging in alcohol to stay professional. However, some companies are scaling back festivities this year due to economic pressures, with around 36% planning no party or reduced costs.
