Stay strong. And maybe make their holidays suck by slyly saying out loud to no one, that “no one should wait until after the holidays!”

Consultants would only know about how bad your project is going to be. What you imply is an hr-related issue
Merry Christmas
Would managers actually know about layoffs? Normally its more senior people. Maybe they were discussing a deadline moving on a major project? But I would have been more nosy (or more "curious" as its known as now) and asked them directly what going on!
You should start looking NOW
I would have been like “ooo what are you discussing please share” 📝
Check the state warn notices
Some places make sure to structure the layoffs just below the required thresholds and do quarterly purges.
If you’re all going to be laid off then there is no party.
More likely low bonuses, or extra work

So kind of testing the management? I like it
