It's Christmastime again, the biggest holiday in Christianity outside Easter (which one's bigger depends on where you live), and everyone has gathered around to celebrate all the holiday traditions, open some presents, and maybe go to church. Yes, we said everyone, including the people who aren't actually Christian, or even religious at all. Shows with characters who are conspicuously Jewish (or simply not Christian) the rest of the year, will usually either flat out ignore this fact during the required Christmas Episode, or skim over it in passing in a very token sort of way. This could be justified in that many non-Christians socially celebrate Christmas with friends, despite having no ties to the holiday themselves. Not to mention the fact that people were throwing pagan midwinter festivals for centuries before Christ's birth and the Church simply fixed the Nativity to that date because those pagan festivities were too popular to simply ignore or suppress. Conversely, shows that acknowledge there are other holidays people celebrate in the season may feature a Hanukkah Episode, or even combine the two. This is also when a character with Informed Judaism is most likely to, well, inform us about it, if only with a token Menorah displayed to show diversity. Contrast You Mean "Xmas", in which there's a non-Christian holiday that just so happens to correspond to Christmas, and Santa Clausmas, where Christmas is related to Christ In Name Only. See also Ambiguously Christian, where details of the character's faith are left unspecific, and Jesus Was Way Cool when people who aren't Christian still admire that guy Christians celebrate. No relation to Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory. |

Ranma ½: In the Christmas Episode, Soun and Genma complain some about Christmas, saying they much preferred things when Buddhism was the religion of choice in Japan. Upon being reminded that there is typically a big dinner served on Christmas, they suddenly change their tunes and start chanting "Hooray for Christmas!" | |

Lampshaded at least twice in The Simpsons: One episode where Kent Brockman, hosting the Springfield Christmas Parade, extols the holiday as a wonderful season "whether you're Christian, or simply not Jewish." Namechecked by Lisa and Bart when watching a Krusty Christmas special. Invoked on the episode where Lisa becomes a Buddhist ("She Of Little Faith"). Utilizing the fact that it's Christmas (even though this is the episode's first mention of the holiday season), the family makes the house as nice as possible and essentially lure Lisa back with presents (Lisa, both because she learns to be more open-minded with other people's religious beliefs and because she wants to get presents, pretty much does). And lampshaded later by Krusty's father in a musical number: |

Community: Notably averted in "Comparative Religion". Fed up with the Dean's pushing an inclusive, nondenominational holiday, Shirley organizes an overtly religious Christmas party, then is surprised to find she's the only Christian in the study group. Annie is Jewish, Abed is Muslim, Britta is an atheist, Jeff is agnostic (called "lazy man's atheist"), Pierce is in a New Age cult calling itself Buddhist, and Troy is a Jehovah's Witness (technically Christian but doesn't observe Christmas). Carried over in the third season's "Regional Holiday Music", in which Troy is slated to spend the day with his family that pointedly doesn't observe Christmas. Shirley plans to gift her "persuadable Jewish friends" with a surprise visit from her pastor, while Annie plans to observe her people's custom of spending the day at the movies with her 'bubbie'. Also in "Regional Holiday Music," played with when Annie gets brainwashed into joining the Glee club. She tries to seduce Jeff into joining by putting on a Sexy Santa Dress and acting like a Brainless Beauty who knows absolutely nothing about Christmas due to being a Jew. Jeff is more squicked than anything; it's been established that he's attracted to her because she's intelligent and mature, so lapsing into Baby Talk and calling him "daddy" is the exact opposite of what he wants. In "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas", Abed mentions that, despite being Muslim, he's always loved Christmas, though it may be more due to memories of Christmas with his mother than the holiday itself. |

In Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, the Jewish Mr. Hooper generally takes part in the rest of the street's Christmas celebrations and even hangs a wreath and a sign that says "Noel" in his store. Still, Bob does wish him "Happy Hanukkah," to which he responds with a warm, grateful smile. | |

"White Christmas", the best-selling single of all time, was written by Irving Berlin, who was Jewish. So were such composers and/or lyricists as Mel Tormé ("The Christmas Song"), Johnny Marks ("Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", among other seasonal ditties), J. Fred Coots ("Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town"), Walter Kent ("I'll Be Home for Christmas"), Al Stillman ("Home for the Holidays"), Jerry Herman ("We Need a Little Christmas"), George Wyle ("It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"), Felix Bernard ("Winter Wonderland"), Mitchell Parish ("Sleigh Ride"), Ray Evans ("Silver Bells"), and Frank Loesser ("Baby, It's Cold Outside"). Of course, it's worth pointing out that none of these are particularly religious-themed Christmas Songs and in fact some of them don't even mention the holiday by name. A religious example would be "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", set to a movement of Felix Mendelssohn's Festgesang cantata. Mendelssohn was a baptized and practicing Lutheran, but also embraced his Jewish ancestry.note Mendelssohn composed the piece in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Johannes Gutenberg's introduction to Europe of movable type. Then there's "O Holy Night", which features music written by a Jewish composer (Adolphe Adam), original French lyrics written by an atheist (Placide Cappeau), and English lyrics written by a Unitarian minister (John Sullivan Dwight). |

DC Nation works with this yearly with the annual compromise at the Dibny household. Ralph gets to decorate (copious amounts of purple are involved), and he gets to be a big, stretchy kid. (This has been amplified since their daughter came into the picture) Topping the tree is a "only a good idea in the '50s" electric menorah with bright purple lights. Sue just stands back and lets him because she thinks it's side-splittingly funny to watch her hubby and daughter literally bounce around the house. | |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged: The Christmas Tree of Might special shows that Christmas is celebrated throughout the universe (at least, on planets that weren't conquered by Freeza, who replaced the holiday with Freeza Day), despite no indication that Christianity exists. Santa is a very real figure who visits every planet (or at least attempts to), so there's a justification for a secular celebration. Played straighter among the main cast: | |

Schitt's Creek: Subverted. Stevie wishes Patrick a Merry Christmas and when David asks why she didn't do the same to him, she replies that she thought he was Jewish. David explains that his father is Jewish and his mother is not so he is a "half and half situation" and then complains that his father wants him to celebrate Christmas even though he has no authority over the holiday. His father Johnny is portrayed as embracing the secular side of Christmas but also searching for the family's menorah. | |

Pretty much every comedy and variety show in the early days of television (and, before that, on radio) had at least one elaborate Christmas episode, with Christmas carols and everything. This can sometimes seem weird with obviously Jewish comedians like Eddie Cantor. When you think about it, it seems odd even with less stereotypical Jewish comedians, like Jack Benny and George Burns (he was Jewish, but Gracie Allen was Catholic). | |

The Nanny, a show that had a Jewish main character, Fran Fine, and her Jewishness came up in most episodes, had several Christmas specials. Season 3's "Oy To The World" was an animated Christmas special, drawn in the style of the Animated Credits Opening. Another Christmas Episode was quite ecumenical, season 6's "The Hanukkah Story" shows Fran praying together with a (Christian) nun, and the Christmas Miracle that saves Maxwell, Gracie and C.C. was intentionally similar to the miracle in the Hanukkah story. |

On Phineas and Ferb, the cast are all lamenting the fact that Santa isn't coming, when Phineas asks Isabella if there's a special Christmas gift she's worried about not getting. Despite having participated fully in the Christmas Episode so far she admits that her family doesn't celebrate Christmas, so it really doesn't matter to her. The second Christmas special indicates that she actually celebrates both. |

The "Secret Santa" episode of Warehouse 13 puts a dreidel by the name of Saul Rubinek (the actor playing Artie) in the credits, and Claudia does give a Jewish prayer at the end of the episode. But most of Artie and Claudia's plotline in the episode revolves around the Christmas present she is trying to get him (which ends up being both a musical instrument and a reunion with his father). | |

On Glee, "A Very Glee Christmas" has Rachel predictably mention her Jewishness as a reason for why she doesn't normally give Christmas presents, but dressing up, decking the halls, and singing Christmas carols, on the other hand, are totally fine. Puck, who also likes to conspicuously mention his Judaism, never says anything about it in the episode. Made even worse in later season's Christmas episodes "Extraordinary Merry Christmas" and "Previously Unaired Christmas" where Rachel's Judaism isn't even given a passing mention (nor is Puck's for that matter) and she's all about Christmas. It was at least subverted in season four's "Glee, Actually" where Puck and his brother Jake have an entire sequence about them celebrating Hannukah with their mothers. | |

Rugrats: Tommy is half-Jewish on his mother's side, and naturally has an episode celebrating Chanukah in addition to Christmas. The other families, who are Christian, take part in the Chanukah celebrations too, inverting the trope. They do similar with an episode about Passover. There's also the variant where Susie is given an episode celebrating Kwanzaa, while the other babies are at her house. Although Susie was actually absent from both the Christmas Episodes of the parent series, she features in the one in All Grown Up!. |

Rip Her to Shreds depicts almost all of Regina's Girl Posse in Mean Girls, including Regina herself, as Jewish. None of them have an issue with dressing up for a "Jingle Bell Rock" dance number in Christmas dresses. | |

A variant example: The Jackson 5 released a very popular Christmas album in 1970, but being that they were Jehovah's Witnesses, they were Christians who would not have themselves celebrated Christmas. | |

Kimagure Orange Road had a Christmas episode, involving a "Groundhog Day" Loop. In one loop, a bitter, stood-up Ayukawa bah-humbug'ed Christmas, subverting the trope when the interviewer suggested she must be a fundamentalist Buddhist! | |

Oddly enough, Mike Stivic from All in the Family enjoyed celebrating Christmas even though he was an outspoken atheist. His view was that Jesus was a good man whose birth was worth celebrating, even if he (Mike) didn't believe that he was actually the Son of God. | |

Lampshaded on Friday Night Dinner. The whole premise of the series is about a Jewish family meeting for Sabbath dinner, yet the 2nd season finale is a Christmas Episode. Throughout the episode, Adam frequently tells his mother how ridiculous it is that they're having an elaborate Christmas dinner, pointing out it's a Christian celebration for the birth of Jesus, whereas his mother claims it's just a universal holiday (mostly because of its large commercialism). When the rest of the family (reluctantly) turn up, Adam's father's mother (nicknamed Horrible Grandma) actually refuses to call it Christmas dinner, instead claiming it's for Hanukkah. | |

Invoked in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, when Midge (who is very explicitly Jewish) performs at a late 1950s USO show and is expected to sing "White Christmas" for the finale, despite not knowing the lyrics. She (poorly) mouths along with the rest of the ensemble. Particularly ironic, considering "White Christmas" was itself written by a Jewish composer (see below). | |

Taken to hilarious extremes in Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, but also actually justified—Mickey makes a wish that "everyone" would have Christmas spirit, and it meant everyone, even characters whose original work took place in pre- or non-Christian cultures. While it's easy to believe good guys already having Christmas spirit in the name of friendship, even some bad guys are shown partaking in the merriment—and one of those bad guys, Hades, is a god himself. | |

Discussed in Black Christmas (2006), where the wet blanket of the group complains about a "pagan sacrifice to ward off evil spirits on Christmas" re: the sorority's tradition of leaving a Christmas present for the serial killer that used to live in the house. Hard-Drinking Party Girl Lauren shows her Hidden Depths by comparing all the stereotypical Christmas items - the tree, mistletoe - to pagan practices. | |

On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Willow once mentioned that her dad didn't like her watching Christmas specials on television and she had to sneak over to Xander's house to do it. She also mentions her religion both times it's Christmas in the series ("Amends" and a flashback in "The Body"), but in the latter still has a big holiday feast with everybody else. | |

In one Harley & Ivy comic, Harley Quinn mentions how the place they're staying is boring and has no presents, despite it being December, and asks if they can at least have a Christmas tree. Her eco-terrorist friend Poison Ivy shuts her down and brings up the fact Harley is Jewish. Harley then states that she likes how bright and colorful Christmas trees are. This scene was used earlier in Batman: The Animated Series but left out the mention of Harley being Jewish. | |

In Amphibia, Anne's family is shown to be avidly into Christmas despite being first-generation Thai immigrants—Thailand's population is around 1% Christian compared to 93% varying stripes of Buddhism and 5% Muslim, and all indications are that they themselves are Buddhist. In their case, it seems to be a case of Immigrant Patriotism, as they have a great desire to fit in—when they make a float for the local parade, it features a lot of Buddhist imagery. | |

Subverted in the Saints Row IV DLC "How the Saints Saved Christmas". While attempting to harness the spirit of Christmas to stop Santa Clawz, future Kinzie realizes that Christmas alone won't provide enough holiday energy and calls upon other solstice-era holidays, like Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and even Festivus (although the latter has several Take Thats aimed at it). | |

Subverted and averted in the Village Tales series. Only Christians are expected to observe Christmas (and the Rector is not terribly chuffed with the sort of parishioner who turns up only for Christmas and Easter, and has worked to church them better). But there is a Christian, and indeed effectively Anglican (after all, the Church of England is Established), service — annually — in which Sikh, Muslim, and unchurched characters (and the retired Gurkhas) living in the District, all participate. It's not Christmas. It's Remembrance Sunday, and no bones about it. | |

Spoofed with in Full Metal Panic!'s sixth volume, "A Dancing Very Merry Christmas," where Christmas is less the holiday of Christ than it is the holiday of John McClane. It's also noted that Sousuke, having been raised Muslim, is only passingly familiar with the holiday and only comes to assign any significance to it at all because Kaname was born on Christmas Eve. | |

On The Goldbergs, Beverly is jealous of the Kremp's Christmas celebrations and decides to turn Hanukkah into "Super Hanukkah", where they gather around the Hanukkah bush and save all the present giving for the last day... in other words, Christmas. Pops is upset that his daughter is betraying their heritage and tries to rectify things. Meanwhile, Adam and Barry are shown watching Christmas specials and movies and get involved in a subplot parodying the Tongue on the Flagpole scene from A Christmas Story. | |
