Trivia

  • The party part of this episode was filmed over three days. The bowl of egg nog sat out for 12 hours a day, although they would cover it and put it in the fridge overnight. The cookies and pigs in a blanket got really hard and stale. This is why you see very limited eating at the party.[1]
  • There's a number of firsts in this episode: It's the first appearance of Bob Vance of Vance Refrigeration (Phyllis' boyfriend) as well as the first mention of Meredith's drinking problem, which has since become a running gag.
