This mostly happens with Christmas, but Halloween is also a notable offender. Pick a HalloweenEpisode, any Halloween episode, and you'll realize quickly that it's always a nice night for trick-or-treating, despite the abundance of rainfall during the season. At best, you get a cloudy, windy night for some spooky atmosphere, but thunderstorms only show up if it's an actual horror story with a killer or monster set loose. Valentine's Day is another common case of this. Technically, it's a winter holiday and spring is over a month away, yet, if there's a ValentinesDayEpisode, it will always be spring-flavored, despite the fact that many places average colder on Valentine's Day than on Christmas and have far more snow on the ground. And speaking of spring, Easter (a spring holiday) will always be sunny with lots of flowers in bloom -- even in those years when it's in late March, before the plants have begun to regrow and there's still a chance of wintry weather, especially in the northern United States.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/BooToYouTooWinnieThePooh'': [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. When the special begins, the early evening skies are partly cloudy, but it's considerably windy. When things start to go wrong for Piglet, a thunderstorm blows in. Though it doesn't rain, the thunder and lightning [[DramaticThunder symbolize and punctuate Piglet's fears of Halloween]], and the storm clears up when Piglet overcomes his fears at the end.
--> '''Tigger''': Ooh, a stormin' good storm! This is gonna be the "bestest" Halloween ever, with loads of lightnin'! ''(lightning flashes with loud thunder)'' And thunderous thunderin'! ''(it thunders and lightnings again)'' And "windifferus" winds breakin' everywhere! ''(the wind picks up in intensity)'' Hoo hoo hoo!

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'': Dimmsdale is located in California, and generally ItsAlwaysSpring there, except when Christmas rolls around, at which point it actually begins snowing. Even crazier is that on the day after Christmas, the snow immediately melts away to make way for a very early spring.


Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' frequently plays this trope straight. It's occasionally referenced or [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]]...
** "Another Simpsons Clip Show" has Lisa recall an "unseasonably warm" Valentine's Day (when calling back to the events of "I Love Lisa").
** In "White Christmas Blues", Springfield becomes the only place in America to have a white Christmas, thanks to a combination of the nuclear power plant's radioactive emissions and the tire yard fire's pollution, thus attracting many tourists for the holiday season.
** In "Tis' the 30th Season", the snow starts to come down on ''Thanksgiving night''. It's [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] when the family drives out of Springfield for a holiday vacation and finds no snow anywhere else. And as they drive home from their vacation, they seem to come across a snowstorm and assume they are close to Springfield... but it's actually from an asbestos factory.

* ''LightNovel/CatPlanetCuties'' has it snow on Christmas in the final episode of the anime. In ''Okinawa''. It's a result of the SpaceElevator the Catians are lowering down to Earth as a present. Which just happens to look suspiciously like a giant Christmas tree.
