'Office Christmas Party' Exclusive Sneak Peek: Jennifer Aniston Gets Back at a Pint-Sized Cinnamon-Roll Thief
Every December, co-workers gather together to let off some steam and have a few drinks — hopefully not too many drinks — at their employer’s annual holiday party. Thus, it’s the ideal season to have a few laughs with Office Christmas Party, the new comedy starring Jennifer Aniston, T.J. Miller, and Jason Bateman, about a grinchy boss (Aniston) who decides to close down a business branch run by her big-hearted but unserious brother (Miller); in turn, he decides that the best way to save everyone’s jobs is to throw a big year-end shindig to wow a big client and win a mammoth contract. It’s the sort of premise built for R-rated insanity, and in the Yahoo Movies exclusive clip above, Aniston shows that she’s more than game to play nasty.

In the clip, Aniston’s executive returns to her seat in a first-class airport lounge, only to discover that her Cinnabon has been stolen — and eaten! — by the tyke sitting across from her. When the kid blatantly lies about impromptu snack, Aniston decides to get some revenge by dialing up jolly old St. Nick to make sure he knows who’s been naughty. And, also, to get in a gratuitously mean (and funny) dig in about the girl’s “terrible name.”

Directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon (who previously helmed the Aniston-Bateman comedy The Switch), Office Christmas Party brings the gifts of a terrific cast — including Kate McKinnon, Olivia Munn, Jillian Bell, Courtney B. Vance, Vanessa Bayer, and Rob Corrdry — when it rings in the raunchy Yuletide season beginning this Friday in theaters nationwide.
