For decades, office parties have run on finger foods, sweet treats, and pizza. But ahead of the holidays, people are turning to a different type of snack.

Offices are tapping into “dipsgiving, ” a trend that has circulated on social media for the last few years, in which partygoers each bring in a different dip to share like a potluck. 

While the main trend has remained popular among friend groups as a sort of lower-effort alternative to traditional friendsgiving, dipsgiving has slowly made its way into the break room making a dish usually seen as a side and turning it into the main event.

The dips can be as traditional or creative as a participant wishes. Take a dip-themed office party from last year where employees brought an array of dips like salsa or guacamole paired with chips, cranberry apple dip, and even a cookie dough dip. In a video shared to TikTok, the user revealed the party was the office’s third annual “dip off.”

The year before, the same user posted another sizzle reel of the dip off, with spreads like a funfetti dip paired with cookies and the evening’s winner, a stuffed banana pepper dip.

The tradition also allows for content creation at the office. Take the party supply retailer Oriental Trading Company, which posted a video to TikTok featuring employees and their “dipsgiving” dips for the office party. Dips ranged from a cream cheese strawberry habanero dip to a pizza dip and a cannoli dip.
