Even with everyone opening their fancy advent calendars on TikTok and all the offices hosting their boujee Secret Santa events, some of us still believe it’s too early to celebrate. Although it’s the holiday season, according to all our friends on Instagram and the Christmas songs playing in all venues, we still believe you have one more weekend for casual partying. Before all the family gatherings you need to attend start taking place, call up your friends and enjoy the last few days of 2022 without having to wear an ugly Christmas sweater.
