For other holidays see ChristmasEpisode, HalloweenEpisode and ThanksgivingEpisode.

** In ''VideoGame/Persona4Golden'', near the end of the game, you get to take part in one of these and spend a romantic afternoon with your girlfriend at Shichiri Beach, but there's a twist. If you've gotten into relationships with multiple girls, then [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential you can only choose one, and must personally reject each one you didn't pick]]. If you don't take someone out, you end up at Junes with the guys from the party.

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'' franchise has a [[DirectToVideo direct-to-DVD]] Valentine's Day Special, entitled "Madly Madagascar". This special [[{{Interquel}} takes place in between the second and third films]]. Valentine's Day is revealed to be Alex's favorite holiday, Melman plans a surprise for Gloria, Marty tries to impress a new friend, and everyone wants to get their hands on King Julien's love potion.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'' has the episode "Gets Charged," which takes place on Valentine's Day and features both a misunderstanding about love (the class think Ms. Frizzle has a boyfriend coming over) and a happy ending.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'' episode, "My Muppet Valentine", Nanny makes cookies for the babies. Unfortunately for Rowlf, he doesn't get one. His friends try to make it up to him by making him a surprise, but worry they've made him feel worse by leaving him out of their activities so as not to spoil the surprise. As it turns out, Rowlf has a surprise of his own for his friends; a song he wrote called, "You're Special to Me". [[spoiler:At the end of the episode, Nanny finds Rowlf's cookie on the baking sheet and gives it to him, proving she thinks of all her children as her valentines.]]

** In "The Break Up Breakdown," Big Macintosh plans a huge Hearts and Hooves day surprise for his girlfriend, Sugar Belle. That is until he overhears her talking to Mrs. Cake about how she plans to tell him that "it's over," making Big Mac believe that she wants to break up with him. In the b-plot, Sweetie Belle recieves a pie in the mail that was meant for Sugar Belle, and starts to believe that she has a secret admirier and she and her friends try to figure out who sent it.

* "Act Your Age", the penultimate episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', aired in February as a FlashForward to the kids about to leave for college. The main focus of the episode revolves around the now eleven-year WillTheyOrWontThey between Phineas and Isabella. Of course, TheyDo.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' had "That Stinking Feeling" and "My Funny Valentines" [[TwoShorts paired together for airing]]. "That Stinking Feeling" was about Spinelli's crush on a boy, while "My Funny Valentines" (which is the more conventional Valentine's episode) was about T.J. making joke Valentine cards for the girls of the school, but with them thinking that he had crushes on him. ShipTease ensued between T.J. and Spinelli (again). Oddly enough, the episode didn't air anywhere near the holiday (though the show was usually in its off-season in February).

* ''A WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Valentine'' (a special episode of ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'') has the gang on Valentine's Day framed for crimes committed by four people who are their lookalikes. They are unmasked at the end as cartoon likenesses of the gang's voice actors--Frank Welker, Casey Kasem, Grey [=DeLisle=] and Creator/MindyCohn. Additionally, the leader of the group is former Music/{{NSYNC}} member SpecialGuest J.C. Chasez... dressed as ''Scooby-Doo''.

* Chapter 145 of ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' focuses on all the female members of the cast giving out chocolate. Despite taking place in the middle of an arc focusing on a LoveTriangle, it's actually a BreatherEpisode.

Also in many cases in the media, though Valentine's Day is in the winter (at some latitudes, anyway) it can instead [[HolidayAppropriateWeather appear to be spring]], with no sign of bare trees or snow anywhere, unlike in real life.

* ''ComicBook/JemAndTheHolograms'' had a Valentine's Day issue where Kimber tried to use a potion to make the Misfits nicer. Instead, she ends up causing the Misfits as well as Jem and the Holograms to fall in love with random people.

Also in many cases in the media, though Valentine's Day is in the winter (at some latitudes, anyway) it can instead [[WeatherDissonance appear to be spring]], with no sign of bare trees or snow anywhere, unlike in real life.

* ''WebVideo/ScottTheWoz'' has a Valentine's Day episode every year, with all of them as of yet emphasizing Scott's loneliness and focusing on him either trying to break his streak of loneliness or coping with not having a mate.

* ''Franchise/{{Jewelpet}}''
** ''Anime/{{Jewelpet 2009}}'': Episode 46 shows how Rinko is coping after having been kidnapped at the end of the previous episode. She's doing it by making chocolate in her freezing cell with the help of an enemy, just because it's Valentine's and that enemy is suffering from lovesickness.

* An ova of ''LightNovel/SeitokaiNoIchizon'' centered on Valentine's Day with the members of the student council giving gifts to Ken.

* ''Anime/KamisamaMinaraiHimitsuNoCocotama'': The 69th episode is a Valentine's Day episode, with the first half being about one of the Black Brothers (a recurring pair of con men) falling in love with the daughter of the candy shop owner he almost drove out of business back in the 11th episode and the second half being about the female Cocotamas making chocolate for the male Cocotamas.

* ''A WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Valentine'' (a special episode of ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'') has the gang on Valentine's Day framed for crimes committed by four people who are their lookalikes. They are unmasked at the end as cartoon likenesses of the gang's voice actors--Frank Welker, Casey Kasem, Grey [=DeLisle=] and Mindy Cohn. Additionally, the leader of the group is former Music/{{NSYNC}} member SpecialGuest J.C. Chasez... dressed as ''Scooby-Doo''.

* ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'': The plot of the anime's second season starts with a Valentine's Day Episode, which is also the last episode of the main cast's first school year. Despite the normally sweet romantic tone of the series that the first season provided, Sawako's inability to give Kazehaya some chocolate heavily influences their relationship negatively. The impact of that failed Valentine's Day is felt throughout the entire season.

%%* ''Series/TheNanny'' at least two episodes.

** ''WebAnimation/TeenGirlSquad'' [[https://homestarrunner.com/toons/issue-12]] involves the girls trying to get "several boys". It ends with The Ugly One killed by voodoo, So And So getting run over while correcting Cheerleader's grammar, Cheerleader being disemboweled by a USB Dongle Goblin for "texting from a few feet away", and What's Her Face going out with the Wireless Wizard. The episode is "drawn" in red pen for the occasion.
