The company had eliminated gifting the Christmas hamper from the budget back in 2013. A Christmas hamper is a packaged assortment of wine, cheese, oils, and meats. It is often gifted to employees in Spain. The court reasoned that employees gained the right to the Christmas hamper from longstanding tradition.
