We all know when Christmas is, right? Late in December, just after the beginning of winter, when it's always covered in snow, right? Wrong! Christmas happens in the summer, too. It's true, some people just can't wait to get into the Christmas Spirit. So they decide to celebrate Christmas right there in the middle of July. Great concept, no? This will often serve as the premise for Christmas Episodes in which the show takes place primarily in the summer. All the same plots, motifs, and messages of all other Christmas Episodes will still be present. In fact, expect all the characters to completely forget that it isn't actually Christmas at all. There is some Truth in Television, as mentioned by That Other Wiki. Most holiday TV specials and movies are filmed during the summer season (so you're sweating like a pig...), and some stores do offer Christmas In July sales to get rid of all their old Christmas stock. The crafting community especially embraces Christmas in July, making all their wreaths, decorations and other Christmas crafts in July to either keep for themselves or sell at craft sales in November. And media producers like to use July to present and make money from their Christmas specials that would otherwise be mothballed for the other 11 months of the year (or 9 months, really). Of course, in the southern hemisphere, Christmas really does fall in midsummer, so Christmas in Australia is closely related. Some parts of the world, such as Australia but also places such as New Zealand, South Africa, the Falklands and parts of the Americas really do hold Christmas in July celebrations; The first four do so because the weather around July is in midwinter, around the time when the weather is more fitting to the ideas of what a traditional Christmas is in the Northern Hemisphere. Although if you go far south enough, like in the Falklands and southern Argentina, you can sometimes have a White Christmas on actual Christmas, as it's cold enough to snow in the summer sometimes. Compare Christmas Creep, another trope about getting into the holiday spirit early (the two have overlapped more and more in recent decades). |

A partial example in Family Affair: In the Very Special Christmas Episode "Christmas Came a Little Early," Uncle Bill and the family have a Christmas party in autumn, ostensibly because Bill might have to go on a business trip over Christmas... but really for the sake of Buffy's terminally ill friend Eve, who isn't expected to live to see Christmas. | |

The second Tenchi Muyo! movie, Daughter of Darkness, has the crew celebrating Mayuka's first Christmas in the summer at the very end of the movie. This was mostly because the Juraian equivalent, Starica, happened at that time. It was also because Mayuka had been reborn after her death at the end. | |

Our Miss Brooks: In the episode "A Dry Scalp is Better Than None", Mrs. Davis' hypochondriac sister Angela pretends to be dying. Miss Brooks, Mr. Conklin and Mr. Boynton throw her an early Christmas, Angela's favorite holiday. In the radio episode "The Telegram", Mrs. Davis' Uncle Corky sends a telegram giving notice that he'll be visiting for a week. A series of missteps leads to the telegram being partially burned, and interpreted as Uncle Corky saying he has a week to live. Miss Brooks, Mrs. Davis, the Conklins and Walter Denton throw Uncle Corky a Christmas party in July. |

As Stone Cates was dying of AIDS, his friends brought him a beach party in his hospital room, knowing he was too ill to actually go, and in his final days, arranged a premature Christmas celebration for him (in November, however), as it was very likely that he'd die before the actual day (and indeed he did). | |

In Garfield and Friends, Garfield pretends it's Christmas at the height of summer to take his mind off the sweltering heat. Jon and Odie join the spirit and decorate the house, confusing the neighbors, who then take it on. This snowballs until almost the entire city falls under the impression that it really is Christmas before City Hall makes an official declaration to the contrary. | |

One Dennis the Menace (US) comic story, entitled "Real Cool" involves Dennis and his parents pretending it's Christmas to keep their mind off the Heat Wave. When Mr. Wilson sees this, he tells his wife, who doesn't believe him, as she thinks the heat is making him hallucinate. Mrs. Wilson then calls Dr. Turner about the situation, and by the time he shows up at the Mitchells' house, Dennis and his parents have already put away their Christmas decorations, leading him to also believe that Mr. Wilson hallucinated the whole thing. | |

There is no shortage of instances in any Mock the Week Christmas Episode where the panelists will riff off the fact that they are filming it way earlier than seasonally-appropriate (most of the taping for the show happens in the middle of the year, while the Christmas episode being primarily a bunch of Hilarious Outtakes, cut content and tacked-on Christmas-themed games). | |

Variant in Almost Famous, one of the complaints William's sister raises before leaving home is that their mother celebrates Christmas in September to avoid consumerism. | |

The Wishfart episode "Christmas Times the Max" sees Dez grant a wish for exactly this (they even specifically call it "Christmas in July"). However, Santa Claus isn't willing to do his duties in the middle of summer (he says he can't stand heat very well), so he leaves the responsibility of organizing Christmas and doing all of Santa's duties to Dez and his friends. | |

Bush Christmas: Set in Australia, so it's basically this trope by default. The story involves kids out horseback riding, who wind up chasing some horse thieves in order to retrieve their father's stolen mare. | |

In the Invader Zim fanfic For the Glory of Irk, Texas is mentioned to have its own version of Christmas during the summer called "Tex-Mas", which involves Santa wearing a cowboy hat, riding bison, and fighting robots. Going off of comments by the characters, this is somehow descended from the nuclear near-holocaust brought about by a rogue AI a few generations before the story's present. It's shown in detail in Chapter 67 when Dib and the others are in Houston on the day of Texmas Eve, and witness a parade which culminates in the guy playing Cowboy Santa throwing "rations and weapons" (actually candy and toys) to the crowd before launching his sleigh at the moon. The last bit is because of a conspiracy theory that the aforementioned rogue AI fled there after being defeated. | |

Doctor Who: In "The Time of the Doctor", a resident of the planet Trenzalore tells the Doctor it's Christmas. The Doctor tells him "it's July", but both were correct. The town was named Christmas, and it was also July. While visiting, Clara was also in the middle of Christmas celebrations at home. She was literally celebrating Christmas in July. | |

In a later episode of The Avengers (1960s) (with Tara King), John Steed walks into a hostage situation because he is celebrating Christmas in the summer. It turns out he and his friend (whose house the killers have taken over) were in a POW camp in Asia and lost track of the date. Only later did they find out they had celebrated Christmas in summer and decided to make it an annual thing. | |

Homestar Runner has Decemberween in July, a series of holiday shorts released in July of 2004. These include a Christmas Episode of Teen Girl Squad, Strong Bad defacing a cheesy children's book about Decemberween, and Marzipan singing a song about "Seasonal Sweaters". | |

British TV tends not to take note of when the Christmas episodes fall in imported American series. So you end up with little inconsistencies like the Christmas episode of Frasier airing in April, or the Barone family in Everybody Loves Raymond celebrating their Christmas in July. This is so that the networks always have plenty of under-watched episodes to put on re-runs, so that the series remains "fresh". | |

The residents of the titular Gravity Falls loves Halloween so much they celebrate it twice via Summerween. It's the same holiday, but with watermelons standing in for pumpkins (most likely because pumpkins aren't in season during the summertime). | |
