Ah, the holidays! A time of fun, joy, and community, where everyone has a good time being together. At least, that's how it is for most people.
However, every so often in fictionland someone will stumble upon a community that doesn't celebrate whichever holiday is being focused on. Usually this is because of factors beyond everyone's control, such as a fear that celebrating the specific holiday will lead to trouble for them. Maybe something awful happened on that day to make the people lose their holiday spirit. Or, maybe, there's just someone pulling the strings for their own personal reasons.
When PlayedForDrama, the protagonist often goes through the process of figuring out why the ban is in place and helping people celebrate the holiday again. In the most serious cases, however, the holiday will be eradicated for religious reasons- often with the people in charge trying to stamp out other beliefs. PlayedForLaughs, and the person in charge typically has very petty reasons for placing the ban and often chooses to replace it with something more [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centered]].
If this is a ChristmasSpecial, it will lead to the community learning the TrueMeaningOfChristmas. However, any widely-celebrated holiday can count for this trope.

* In the ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'' episode "D'Preciation Day", King Dedede finds out Cappy Town holds individual Appreciation Days for every civilian...except him who they have nothing to be appreciative over. After some tantrum throwing, they begrudgingly go along with a Dedede Appreciation Day out of pity, though Kirby botches it, leading a furious Dedede to declare all Appreciation Days to be abolished and replaced with "Dis Days", where everyone can vent their hatred of the civilian in question, much to the dismay of Chef Kawasaki, whose Appreciation Day was scheduled next.

* ''Film/WhenGoodGhoulsGoBad'': The town of Walker Falls doesn't celebrate Halloween because, when a child named Curtis Danko was mysteriously killed, he left behind the threat of destroying everyone if they celebrated Halloween again. However, despite the collective fear of the townspeople, the protagonist's father planned to have a "Spooktacular" to re-open the town's chocolate factory and some of the local children spent time collecting decorations to have their own secret Halloween.
* ''An Angel For Christmas'', by ''Goodtimes Entertainment'', takes place in a town called Ironsville, where the local CorruptCorporateExecutive has banned even mentioning Christmas to protect his factory. This rule is enforced by his own personal secret police force.
* In ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast An Enchanted Christmas'', Beast forbade Christmas in the palace because that was the day he was transformed by the Enchantress.
* ''WesternAnimation/SantaClausIsCominToTown'': Burgermeister Meisterburger, the leader of Sombertown, outlawed all toys after he'd tripped on one earlier. As such, Christmas itself was banned by proxy.

[[folder:Literature]]
* Exaggerated in ''Literature/TheGiver''. The community has banned any form of emotion and individuality, and that included holidays. Nobody even knew that the holidays used to exist, save for the Receiver and Giver of Memory.
* Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe: While the world of Narnia was in a millenium-lasting EndlessWinter and under the rule of the White Witch, Father Christmas was banished from the land, thereby forbidding Christmas for ever happening. [[spoiler: Father Christmas appearing was one of the signs the White Witch's power over Narnia was growing weaker.]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' reveals that the Old Sith Empire forbade its citizens from celebrating [[TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial Life Day]]. This edict was largely ignored.

[[folder:Web Video]]
*''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'': It's established in "Christmas Tree Of Might" that Freeza abolished Christmas and replaced it with his own made up holiday called [[ItsAllAboutMe Freeza Day]].

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Although is celebrated InUniverse, Christmas in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' is far from the real meaning of Christmas, especially for Fry, who criticizes the way "Christmas" is celebrated in 3000 AD. This is mostly because [[KillerRobot Robot]] [[BadSanta Santa]] is around the city in Christmas' Eve [[KillEmAll killing anyone who were around the street in that date]]... and sometimes, he gets into houses to kill people randomly.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' had a Christian woman successfully get Halloween banned in Arlen. The ban is apparently overturned by episode's end after Hank organizes a impromptu costume party.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic:'' [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E4LunaEclipsed "Luna Eclipsed"]] features a Nightmare Night celebration: the pony equivalent of Halloween, based very, very loosely on historical events involving Princess Luna. When the ''real'' Luna shows up to the party, she takes offense at everypony being so scared of her, and declares that Nightmare Night is cancelled forever. But the others show Luna that they appreciate her (and aren't scared of her in a ''bad'' way), which convinces her to reinstate the holiday by the episode's end.
* ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'': "The Headless Snowman" has the gang staying at a place called Winter's Hollow due to a roadblock. Despite it being Christmas Eve, most people in the town had decided to stop celebrating Christmas forever thanks to the yearly attacks by the titular snowman.
