They might change the setting (e.g. making it the ''day'' before Christmas, the night before Easter, or the night before a FictionalHoliday that may or may not be a YouMeanXmas), or replace SantaClaus with some other gift-giver. Regardless of who's giving the gifts, they'll often give gifts that suit the characters' personalities (giving the BigEater food or the HardDrinkingPartyGirl alcohol for instance).

* Music/BobRivers wrote the song "A Visit From St. Nicholson" about a man whose home is visited by Creator/JackNicholson as Santa Claus. Jack pulls up in a limo accompanied by the Los Angeles Lakers ("Now Magic, now Worthy, now Scott, and Kareem! On Cooper, on Rambis, and the rest of the team."), and after he gives out the presents he goes off on a rant about not being appreciated, throws the stockings in the fireplace, and torches the Christmas tree. The narrator thinks ruefully, "An age may unfold ere I fail to regret, that visit from St. Nicholson which I'd sooner forget."
