\\\"In one episode of Axis Powers Hetalia where different countries are discussing how they celebrate Christmas, America shows off his garishly-decorated Christmas... cake. Christmas Cakes are a Japanese tradition; while the decorating is culturally in-line with America, it\\\'s usually applied to cookies. (Note, though, that the creator has lived in the US for years so it may be a case of misunderstanding.) \\\"

This example is itself an example of the trope. Christmas cakes are \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' \\\"a Japanese tradition\\\". They may not be an American tradition, but that\\\'s not the same thing.

According to the other Wiki, there is a difference, it appears, between christmas cakes as made in Japan and in the UK, but the description, \\\"standard American wintertime Fruitcake\\\" makes it sound more like the British version, if anything. I\\\'ve edited the phrase \\\"a Japanese tradition\\\" to \\\"not an American tradition\\\".
