* If you play the game at Christmas, ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheTriad'' plays a song in UsefulNotes/{{MIDI}} format called "Deadly Gentlemen" (which is based on a well-known Christmas carol) instead of the normal level music. Considering the game is a FirstPersonShooter, this could well be classified as an Anti Christmas Song. Blasting the bad guys into LudicrousGibs with Christmas music playing... I'd say that's anti-Christmas.

* "Spirits Past" (1994) by Music/GilScottHeron.
-->It makes me sad that my kids won't see\\
Christmas the way it used to be\\
I was so excited though we didn't have a dime\\
But that seems like such a long time ago\\
And I am still a child I know\\
But it seems like we've lost much more than the time

* "Who Took the Merry Out of Christmas?" by The Staple Singers (1971) is a ProtestSong that laments that "People all over the world forgot about Mary," and disapproves of things like Santa and Christmas parties, along with "fighting wars" and "trying to make it to Mars."

* Creator/JohnWaters's Christmas album (2004) has a bunch of these. Some, like "Here Comes Fatty Claus," are intended that way (it bills itself specifically as a song for people who suffer during the holidays due to "ruptured bank accounts"), others weren't originally meant to be Anti-Christmas Songs but serve the role for Waters's usual {{Camp}}-savvy audience (like the overly-earnest religious song "Happy Birthday Jesus").

** There's also Music/{{Feist}}'s song in the same special, based on "Angels We Have Heard on High," which she sings in the style of a busy customer service call center responding to Stephen's prayer.

* [[Music/TheLonelyIsland The Lonely Island]] and [[Music/JustinTimberlake Justin Timberlake]]'s "Dick in a Box" (2006) is a bit of an atypical example, as stylistically it's a parody of 90's R&B. The song made its debut on a pre-Christmas episode of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', and is essentially about a pair of oblivious singers giving their loved ones a terrible present for Christmas.
