History Main / AnAsskickingChristmas

** The episode featuring ''Film/SantaClausConquersTheMartians'' features a host skit in which Crow presents his very own Christmas song: "Let's Have a Creator/PatrickSwayze Christmas", which combines holiday sentiment with allusions to Swayze's role in ''Film/RoadHouse''.

* The made-for-TV movie ''Film/TheCrossing'' depicts the below-mentioned crossing of the Delaware and Battle of Trenton, including the [[HollywoodHistory popular but untrue]] notion that the efficacy of the ambush was due to the Hessians being fantastically hungover after a German Christmas.

* UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington leading the Continental Army across the Delaware Christmas Night 1776 before attacking and decisively winning the Battle of Trenton the next morning.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' "Twas the Fight Before Christmas".

** "[[Recap/DoctorWho2013CSTheTimeOfTheDoctor The Time of the Doctor]]" has it to [[ExaggeratedTrope an extreme level. [[spoiler:Christmas is the name of the ''town'', it is under constant siege by the Doctor's enemies. He teams up with the bloody ''Silence'' to fend off the horde, it is so bad. Narration indicates the siege of Christmas went on for over ''nine hundred years'' before the aged, dying Doctor decides to take them all out with TheLastDance... before, of course, getting a loophole in the laws of regeneration (much to his surprise)]].
* ''Series/{{Eureka}}'' became fond of doing Christmas Episodes about halfway through its run. While minor examples compared to most they could still qualify. The first had the town preparing for an air-raid when an unidentified boggy breached its airspace, queue santa flying through town crashing into several buildings [[spoiler:it was Taggert pioneering the scientific field of Santology]]. The second featured an antagonist sninja, snowman-ninja, complete with anime-style ass-kicking climax.

* The first ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' game takes place around Christmas. This results in just the occasional SexySantaDress around the red light district. The second game, set InUniverse a year later, follows suit.

* ''ComicBook/{{Lobo}}'s Paramilitary Christmas Special''

** "[[Recap/DoctorWho2013CSTheTimeOfTheDoctor The Time of the Doctor]]" has it UpToEleven: [[spoiler:Christmas is the name of the ''town'', it is under constant siege by the Doctor's enemies. He teams up with the bloody ''Silence'' to fend off the horde, it is so bad. Narration indicates the siege of Christmas went on for over ''nine hundred years'' before the aged, dying Doctor decides to take them all out with TheLastDance... before, of course, getting a loophole in the laws of regeneration (much to his surprise)]].

* ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' has the DLC missions "How the Saints Saved Christmas", which applies the series's UpToEleven action insanity to this trope, from a BadSanta to Boss turning from TheGrinch to SavingChristmas for a story of, well... Christmas has everything you could possibly want.

* ''Manga/ShonanJunaiGumi'': After both Ryuji and Eikichi strike out with girls on the ski trip, they end up fighting a group of delinquents whose car Eikichi wrecked when rescuing Souna.

* Franchise/{{Batman}} goes through this [[PunctuatedForEmphasis all. the. friggin'. time.]] If there's one hero that never takes the day off during the holidays, it's Batman. His enemies LOVE to stir up crap during Christmas, especially guys like ComicBook/{{the Joker}}, ComicBook/MrFreeze, and the Calendar Man.

* The Silent Night chapter of ''ComicBook/SinCity''

** In ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 2010 story arc]]'' ''Day of the Dollmaker'', Supergirl is trying to find a child kidnapper on Christmas Eve. With no concrete leads, she combs Metropolis, beating and interrogating every criminal and super-villain she meets until she manages to catch and beat down the kidnapper.

* ''Film/AChristmasHorrorStory'' has a segment that switches from straight horror to action-horror, featuring a BadassSanta battling [[ZombieApocalypse zombified elves]] and eventually {{Krampus}} at his North Pole workshop. [[spoiler:Subverted when it turns out that he's actually a delusional MallSanta who had a psychotic break and went on a rampage at TheMall. The elves were his co-workers and shoppers, and Krampus was the mall's manager.]]

* The 2005 Creator/MarvelComics Holiday Special had a story in which a mechanic who [[FreudianExcuse never really recovered from being told Santa Claus isn't real]] decided to build her own robot Santa to at least help keep the illusion alive for other kids. Unfortunately, she used the body of ComicBook/{{Ultron}} as the base of her creation, and so "Santron" immediately declared all the Avengers to be naughty and attacked their annual Christmas party. For bonus points, the mechanic's name is [[https://www.newseum.org/exhibits/online/yes-virginia-there-is-a-santa-claus/ Virginia]].

** Even original songs like Music/{{Slade}}'s "Merry Christmas Everybody" embody the spirit, at least in tone.

* Just take any Christmas song, and make it metal.

* ''Film/{{Legion}}'' happens in the days before and after Christmas.

** Darian’s drawing in ''Film/TheLastBoyScout'' has a drawing of a BadSanta, who is holding the head of a little girl.

* ''SelfDemonstrating/{{Lobo}}'s Paramilitary Christmas Special''

* Hanukkah: if you don't know, this is a Jewish holiday at about the same time of the year as Christmas (and tends to absorb elements thereof by cultural osmosis) that ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maccabees commemorates]]'' ass-kicking.

-->-- '''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic''''s [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/14482-hmsrch review]] of ''The [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 He-Man]] and [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower She-Ra]] [[ChristmasEpisode Christmas Special]]''

* On [=mp3=].com, a comedy team called ''Prime Example'' did a spoof advertisement for the ultimate Christmas TV special "Violent Night" in which Santa Claus, Rudolph, Frosty, Charlie Brown, and the Little Drummer Boy team up to save Christmas from a war on Christmas by the Grinch, Ebeneezer Scrooge, the Abominable Snowman, and Satan. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a Terminator-esque Santa Claus with an assault rifle, and Clint Eastwood plays a Dirty Harry-esque Ebeneezer Scrooge with a shotgun... coming up next on Fox!

* The Christmas episode of ''WesternAnimation/EvilConCarne'' is this. Hector the brain [[GrandTheftMe steals Santa's body]] in a plan to take over the world with mind control devices in all the toys. [[SpannerInTheWorks He didn't count on]] [[ParodyNames Rubert]] [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer the muscular green-nosed reindeer]] helping to save the day and Santa [[HeroicWillpower managing to break free of his control]] thanks to [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight Rubert's words.]]
