* WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcakeBerryInTheBigCity: In the episode "Strawberry's Perfect Present", Strawberry ends up getting the weirdo twins Cheese Strudel and Cherry Streusel for the Berryworks' Secret Swirl gift exchange. Throughout the episode she follows them around to see what they'd like, but the two being {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s means everything they do is nonsensical, and by the end of it Strawberry only manages to learn they like sauerkraut. Defeated, Strawberry bakes them sauerkraut cookies, but the twins end up being delighted at the gift...because a rat crawled in the cookie box, and they assumed that was the gift. The two sincerely thank Strawberry for their new pet rat and run off, as Strawberry is satisfied that her perfect gift-giving streak remains unbroken. Until she realizes she gave them a dirty rat off the streets and chases after them.

Blueberry apologizes to Lemon, gets her a proper gift, and prompts the rest of the girls to also get something the recipient would actually like.

* The B-Plot of ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' episode "Gene's Christmas Break" features Teddy proposing a neighborhood Secret Santa. However, Teddy initially only wants it to be him, Bob and Linda in an attempt to keep their attention on him (he does indeed plan to buy one of them a gift though). When Linda feels three people aren't enough, she gets Mort and Mike the mailman to join in. Teddy grows increasingly unhappy and pissed off when he draws Mort's name and Linda refuses to let him swap or help him buy a gift. The exchange ends as:
** Bob (who didn't want to do this) got Mike a gift card because he didn't know what Mike would like. Mike at least seems okay with it.
** Linda got Bob and paid to get their car washed. Bob legitimately appreciates the gift.
** Mike got Linda and simply gave her a bunch of stamps.
** Mort got Teddy, and got him a plaque with Teddy's name on it to put on Teddy's favorite stool in the restaurant. Teddy is actually really touched by what a thoughtful gift that is, immediately making him regret buying Mort a barn-themed calendar. Mort at least doesn't hold it against Teddy and says he loves the calendar.

* ''Literature/ThePrincessDiaries'': In one of the sequels, Mia's school runs a voluntary "Secret Snowflake" program. It's different than the standard Secret Santa in that, instead of one gift, the participants are supposed to do a series of small, nice things for the person whose name they drew over the course of finals week, to help diffuse stress. Mia gets talked into signing up by her friend Tina and then immediately forgets about it, so when she starts getting flowers on her locker everyday, she assumes she has a secret admirer and tries to figure out who it is (and at one point, her crush picks up a flower that had fallen, leading her to believe he's her secret admirer). It's not until Tina mentions that her Secret Snowflake has forgotten her that Mia realizes ''she's'' Tina's Secret Snowflake, so now she has to rush to get her something great to make up for it.

This evolved into an annual tradition of gift-giving among friend groups- gifts that, since this was [[CrapsackWorld Alternia]], were usually extremely deadly.
