* Spoofed in ''Film/LastActionHero'' with the [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe film]] ''Jack Slater III'', where it's explicitly pointed out that the action-packed events of the film are happening around Christmas. (The film is a parody of the films of Creator/ShaneBlack, who's a big fan of this trope and has multiple examples on this page, and who later [[SelfDeprecation rewrote the script himself]].)

* ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'' series:
** Both ''VideoGame/Yakuza1'' and ''VideoGame/Yakuza2'' take place in December of 2005 and 2006 respectively. You have to look pretty hard to see it but there are a few decorations and one or two stores play Xmas tunes, and Kashiwagi mentions it Christmastime when he brings a small army of Kazama family soldiers to reinforce Kiryu during his final fight against the Shimano Family. "[[AmazingFreakingGrace Amazing Grace]]" plays over the credits of the first game, while "Silent Night" plays over the credits of the second.
** The [[VideoGame/Yakuza3 third]] and [[VideoGame/Yakuza4 fourth]] games avert this, taking place in early March of 2009 and 2010 respectively.
** The [[VideoGame/Yakuza5 fifth game]] takes place around Christmas of 2012, with several Christmas decorations and songs being played throughout. Thanks to a chunk of the game being set in and around Sapporo's fictional Tsukimino district (a recreation of the real world Susukino district), the atmosphere is significantly more Christmassy; Saejima even gets to beat up some thugs while wearing a Santa suit (and can even crush them with a Christmas tree or turn them into a snowman to boot!).
** ''VideoGame/Yakuza0'' takes place roughly from December 1988 to January 1989, with some references to Christmas being thrown around, but not as frequent as in ''5''.
** When you visit Sotenbori in ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'', a handful of shops and locations have Christmas decorations up. There is no evidence of Christmas in Yokohama and Kamurocho, but you can find a few people who say it's cold if you look around enough.

* A good chunk of Creator/DonRosa's Uncle Scrooge adventure ''The Crown of the Crusader Kings'' takes place on Christmas Day. Despite this, there's absolutely nothing festive about the story and the characters don't seem concerned that they're spending Christmas on a treasure hunt far away from home.
* In ''ComicBook/TheGoldenAge'', the opening of Tex Thompson's secret diary, which reveals the secrets of both Thompson and Dynaman, takes place around Christmas, with Joan Dale interrupting Lance Gallant and Paula Brooks' intimacy to bring the secret to light.
* In ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'', Dale off-handedly notes to Rick that, by counting the days, they've guessed that it is Christmas Eve. Rick angrily tells him not to spread it around, as he doesn't want to disappoint his already traumatized son.
* ''ComicBook/XMen'' does this quite a bit. Several issues bring up the holiday but mainly just as background scenery, especially in Chris Claremont and John Byrne's run.
** #98 starts off during Christmas, but any Christmas tropes related to it are quickly forgotten when the Sentinels attack. After that it quickly moves past the holiday by at least a couple days and has the arc move on for a few more issues, ending with the famous moment where Jean is transformed into the Phoenix.

* ''WebAnimation/BadDays'' has an episode in which ComicBook/NickFury and Franchise/TheAvengers spend Christmas Eve bowling together. Aside from the facts that this premiered on Christmas Eve, and the bowling alley has Christmas decorations adorning it, this didn't relate too strongly to the holiday.

* The magnificently titled Japanese film ''Film/DetectiveBureau23GoToHellBastards'' is about a detective who undertakes TheInfiltration of the {{Yakuza}} in order to take down several yakuza gangs. The news mentions it's Christmas, and later Sally's nightclub is shown with a "Merry Xmas" sign and a big tree. This has no relevance to the story at all.



* Similarly, ''Film/LastHoliday'' does include the celebration of New Year's Eve, but isn't too heavily related to the holiday; it has more to do with the celebration of the protagonist's life, which is drawing to a very premature close [[spoiler:(or so she thinks)]].

* The Film/JamesBond movie ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' is set around Christmas. Notably, Blofeld places an ornament on a Christmas tree during the mandated EvilGloating scene and distributes Christmas gifts containing his Virus Omega dispensers to his brainwashed beauties. Also, the Winter festival scene where Tracy helps Bond to escape from Blofeld's goons to the tune of "Do You Know Where Christmas Trees Are Born"
