[[AC: Advertising]] * In an ad for Verizon wireless, a young man hears singing outside his house, and when he opens his door, he finds a small group of people caroling to him, in the middle of summer: -->''"We wish you a red hot deal today'' -->''We wish you a red hot deal today'' -->''We wish you a red hot deal todaaaay...'' -->''And an awesome new phone (awe-some new phooooooone)!"'' [[AC: Film]] * ''Film/{{Elf}}'': When Buddy first meets Jovie and has trouble reaching her, he tries to lift her spirit by telling her, "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." Later in the movie, when she learns Santa's sleigh has lost its power source because nobody has Christmas spirit, she remembers Buddy's words of wisdom, and tries to boost everyone's spirit by leading a round of spontaneous Christmas caroling, singing, "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town". * ''Film/MouseHunt'': While Ernie and Lars wander the streets at night, both of them with nowhere to go, cynical Ernie belittles Lars for not looking at the big picture, though Lars says it's Christmas, and instead of dwelling on what they don't have, they should be thankful for what they do have... all the while carolers are singing, "I'll Be Home for Christmas", until the brothers give them an AsideGlance, prompting them to leave. [[AC: Literature]] * ''Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'': The one thing the Grinch hates most of all is when all the Whos down in Whoville gather together, and start caroling around the Christmas tree. This is carried over into [[WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas the animated adaptation]] as well as [[Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas the live action film adaptation]], the latter of which includes a song on the subject by Ben Folds called, "Lonely Christmas Eve". [[AC: Live Action TV]] * ''SesameStreet'': In the ''Elmo's World'' special, "Happy Holidays", Elmo is repeatedly visited by a quartet of carolers who keep singing, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" - they have lovely singing voices, but screeching and irritating speaking voices. [[AC: Western Animation]] * ''EdEddNEddy'': In "Fa La La La Ed", Ed brings the spirit of Christmas to the cul-de-sac, [[ItMakesSenseInContext despite it being the middle of July]], at one point, Eddy decides to use Ed's gimmick to his advantage by scamming other kids out of change by he, Ed and Double D caroling door-to-door, allowing him to buy them a large bag full of jawbreakers. * ''ItsTheGreatPumpkinCharlieBrown'' inverts this, as Linus sits in the pumpkin patch, awaiting the arrival of The Great Pumpkin, Lucy and the others drop by to see if he's ''still'' waiting out there, to which he asks them if they came to sing "pumpkin carols" with him.
