The protagonist Jack Skellington accidentally happens upon this world when he finds the Hinterlands outside the borders of Halloween Town and finds a door shaped like a Christmas tree where he is ''literally'' pulled into it.

* ''Website/SCPFoundation'': This is PlayedForHorror. [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-784 SCP-784 - Christmas Cheer]] is a town somewhere in Texas, that is decorated with Christmas all year round regardless of the weather. It is an anomalous location where the inhabitants are AmbiguouslyHuman and assimilate those who do not exhibit the right level of Christmas cheer. This includes things as minor as wishing someone “Happy Holidays” rather than “Merry Christmas”, singing the wrong lyrics to a carol, or not showing enough enthusiasm for a gift.

* Christmas Town in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' is only accessible through a door in the HalloweenTown world. Much like Halloween Town, Christmas Town is overrun with Heartless (albeit by Christmas-themed versions of Halloween Town's Heartless), and while Santa Claus is sweet and polite to Sora and his gang, he still holds a chip on his shoulder towards Jack Skellington after he tried stealing Christmas the first time.
** This is taken further in this game's Final Mix, where Sora, Donald, and Goofy wear Christmas themed outfits while in the world, in contrast to their getup while in Halloween Town, all while a Christmas-y tune plays in the background.

* Creator/TerryPratchett questioned the traditional portrayal in his talk/essay "Alien Christmas", where he pointed out that, given the toys kids are actually given at Christmas, Santa's workshop is generally shows with a surprising lack of plastic extrusion machines and soldering irons.

The good guys live in the planet's North Pole, which is more snowy and covered in Christmas decorations, while Foudror's abode in the South Pole is more dark and ominous.
