A character or group of characters experiences "Christmas Every Day," sometimes as a "Groundhog Day" Loop or as Christmas literally occurring every day. Sometimes a Whole-Plot Reference to the short story "Christmas Every Day" by William Dean Howells. The reason for the repeats varies — a character who really loves Christmas might wish that every day is Christmas Day, and it somehow comes true. In these cases, the entire cast might feel the holiday repeating. Alternatively, a "Groundhog Day" Loop resets to teach a character a lesson, often the True Meaning of Christmas or An Aesop about valuing friends and family during the holiday season. This variation will usually have only the protagonist (who, by contrast, dislikes Christmas) be aware of the resets. Either plot will also center around trying to find a way to break the loop. Sister trope to Gift of the Magi Plot, How the Character Stole Christmas, It's a Wonderful Plot, and Yet Another Christmas Carol, other common Christmas-themed Whole Plot References. May be a series' Christmas Episode or a stand-alone Christmas Special. Can also be the motif of a Christmas Town. |

The first story of Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas is "Donald Duck Stuck On Christmas" which was inspired by the "Christmas Every Day" short story. It involves Huey, Dewey and Louie wishing upon a star for Christmas to be every day. At first they enjoy it, only to discover it's not just Christmas every day, but the ''exact'' same day even down to their presents from the previous day getting wrapped up again. After getting fed-up they try to ruin Christmas to put an end to it. However they then notice a card from Donald and Daisy explaining the true meaning of Christmas in being about family rather than presents, to which the boys embrace the Christmas spirit and help everyone else enjoy Christmas, and the time loop ends. | |

The Jamie Foxx Show episode "Christmas Day-ja Vu": When Jamie King's friends and family buy him some gifts, he buys himself an extravagant ski outfit, instead of returning the sentiment. A mall Santa places a spell on him, where he keeps pestering Jamie if he's learned the True Meaning of Christmas, while Jamie's reliving that moment over and over again. | |

In Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, the final section involves the Dwarfers being trapped in a Lotus-Eater Machine resembling Earth, with Lister retiring to a town called Bedford Falls, which he's amazed to discover is exactly like Bedford Falls in It's a Wonderful Life. As time passes, however, he begins to notice some things about his new life don't make sense, including the fact it's been Christmas Eve every day since he got there. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-4255 is similar to the SF Debris story above, except the guy's crime was Time Travel and he was caught by the Time Police. Played for Horror in SCP-5000. The Foundation is mentioned to have utilized various temporal anomalies to make it Christmas every day... so that SCP-4666 will remain active and keep murdering families all year as part of their plan to exterminate humanity. |

The 2000 TV movie of A Christmas Carol starring Ross Kemp follows the book plot but adds such a loop; after each visitation Eddie Scrooge would wake up and it was still Christmas morning. After the first spirit, he was extra nasty just to prove it hadn't had any effect; after the second one he wanted to look like he'd changed, so gave people extravagant presents without finding out what they needed; and after the third one he finally got it right. | |

In Elmo Saves Christmas, Elmo wishes for it to be Christmas every day using a snow globe. This causes things to go From Bad to Worse; everyone is broke due to having to buy presents and Christmas trees every day, Christmas trees have become endangered due to the high demand resulting in Grover running out of trees to sell, the Fix-it Shop goes out of business due to it being closed on Christmas and Maria and Luis being out of practice, Big Bird is sad that Snuffy is celebrating Christmas in Cincinnati with his grandmother and won’t return to Sesame Street, and the carolers have gradually lost their voices from singing too much. By the time we see the last version of this, even the Count is getting tired of the endless Christmases, regardless of it meaning he gets an unlimited number of Christmases to count. Oscar the Grouch is the only one who likes it being Christmas every day, not just because of everyone else's misery, but also because he gets tons of garbage in the form of wrapping paper and used Christmas trees. In fact, he protests when Elmo announces that he is going to use his last wish to turn everything back to normal, telling him to wish for roller skates instead (since that was Elmo's original plan). | |

The birthday variation also happens in an episode of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, where Jimmy hypnotizes his parents into thinking his birthday is tomorrow, so he can get a new chemistry set as a present. After a week or so of birthdays, his parents think he's an adult and expect him to move out. | |

The first Christmas special of The Fairly OddParents! is titled "Christmas Every Day!" and shares this premise when Timmy wishes for every day to be Christmas. However, the plot goes in a different direction: it isn’t a time loop, time just stops moving forward, so every day is December 25. The consequences come quickly: snow piles up everywhere; the banks, stores, and schools stay closed; Santa begins running out of ideas for gifts, being obligated to continue giving kids whatever they ask for; the elves go on strike from the increased workload; and eventually, all the other holiday mascots try getting rid of Santa to reclaim their holidays. Worst of all, Timmy can’t undo his wish, as the entire population of fairies lends most of their magic to Santa Claus every Christmas so he can deliver gifts to the whole world. When they finally undo it by asking Santa to give them December 26, this trope is added to the list of banned wishes in 'Da Rules', Cosmo and Wanda noting that a person has to really screw up to merit that kind of response. | |

When Simon takes over as Santa in The Santa Clauses he implements a daily Christmas with drones delivering whatever presents you want for a few.

Christmas...Again?! is a Disney Channel film that revolves around this trope: Rowena "Ro" Estevez is unhappy with the changes coming to her Christmas, particularly her father's new girlfriend and her son. After a disastrous day, she meets a strange man in a Santa outfit who asks her what she wants, and she wishes she could redo the day. It doesn't take more than two days before she decides to milk the opportunity for all that it's worth. | |
