Gather your friends around the Yule Log or just throw a frozen turkey on the grill - it's time to celebrate the 3rd annual "Workaholics" Half Christmas holiday! "Workaholics" fans across the country are coming together to celebrate their favorite time of year on-air, online and at Comedy Central Certified Clubs in the days leading up to Tuesday, June 25. In addition, the "Workaholics" Season Three Blu-ray and DVD was released yesterday by Comedy Central Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Media Distribution.

Enlisting their loyal fan base and partnering with Klondike bars as the official Half Christmas dessert, Comedy Central and the "Workaholics" are determined to make #HALFXMAS a recognized holiday.

From the minds of the hilarious and irreverent Internet sketch group Mail Order Comedy, "Workaholics" is a single-camera comedy featuring three friends who work together from 9 to 5, live together from 5 to 9 and party together 24/7. Dress codes, deadlines and waking up before noon are not things these guys are used to. They do their jobs and sometimes they even do them well, but they show up late, leave drunk and always live for the day...even if they don't know what day it is. Whether it's Blake (Blake Anderson) dressed in a bear coat, Adam (Adam Devine) singing about Catherine Zeta Jones while high on mushrooms or The Ders (Anders Holm) celebrating his birthday with a drinking triathlon, the boys always seem to run into trouble wherever they go.

"Workaholics" was co-created by Mail Order Comedy's Blake Anderson, Adam Devine, Anders Holm and Kyle Newacheck and 5th Year's Dominic Russo and Connor Pritchard. The series stars Anderson, Devine and Holm and is directed by Newacheck. Executive Producers include Mail Order Comedy, Kevin Etten, 5th Year's Russo and Pritchard, Avalon Television's Richard Allen-Turner, David Martin, Jon Thoday and Isaac Horne. The series is co-executive produced by Avalon's Dan Lubetkin and Craig Digregorio. Seth Cohen is the Executive in Charge of Production for COMEDY CENTRAL.
