To-do list:
- Move wicks and on-page examples to Christmas Episode if applicable. On-page examples were moved to Sandbox.Do They Know Its Christmas Time to be sorted through.
Original post
Note: This thread was proposed by kundoo.
The problem: Misuse. The trope has 72 wicks, I checked them all and only 7 are correct. Most likely reason is the name: it's non-descriptive and confusing, especially since the Trope Namer is not an example. But even when used correctly this trope is simply Status Quo Is God meets Christmas Episode. If Status Quo Is God is already established, applying it specifically to Christmas doesn't seem to warrant a separate trope.
Possible solution:
- Honestly, I don't think it's salvageable. Euthanize it.
- However, there might be some potential, if we rename it and restrict to examples, where characters reverting to being jerks after the "Christmas effect" is gone, is commented in-universe or is clearly depicted as a plot point. Not sure if it wouldn't still be just a variation of Status Quo Is God.

No we can't, because the on-page example still need to be moved from Sandbox.Do They Know Its Christmas Time.
