Enemies setting aside their differences for a holiday. This is usually acknowledged by both sides as being a temporary agreement.
Nine times out of ten the holiday in question will be Christmas, but it can apply to any holiday. It could be soldiers in a battle, mobsters in a gang war, or rival sports teams.
Contrast Busman's Holiday, Twisted Christmas, Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday and An Asskicking Christmas. Compare with Merry Christmas in Gotham and Screw the War, We're Partying. See also Holiday Pardon if a holiday issues a pardon for criminals.

Boo Boom! The Long Way Home: Episode 24, which is the show's Christmas Episode, a group of German soldiers and a group of Allied soldiers both end up lost in the same woods, and through sheer coincidence, they run into each other at a cave Boo-Boom and his friends were using as shelter. When they notice Boo-Boom is in a bad condition due to the cold, both groups of soldiers put their differences aside to help him, which leads to all soldiers realizing they are not so different. After celebrating Christmas Eve together, they part ways on friendly terms.

Donkey Kong Country: "The Kongo Bongo Festival of Lights" has the characters celebrating their equivalent of Christmas, with a truce between the Kongs and the Kremlings. However, while King K. Rool and his underlings honor the truce, Kaptain Skurvy, who isn't associated with them, uses the truce to his advantage to try stealing the crystal coconut for himself.

Subverted in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's. The only reason that the Wolkenritter didn't attack Nanoha and Fate on sight when the two of them came to visit Hayate in the hospital on Christmas Eve was for the sake up upholding the Masquerade. The second everyone else was out of view...

Terra Ignota: A preemptive example. In the third book, with World War III a looming inevitability, all sides agree to delay hostilities just long enough to hold the 140th Olympic Games as one last celebration of human excellence and international goodwill before the horrors of war begin. The world therefore sees 128 more days of peace. Of course, everyone also uses these 128 days to continue preparing for war.

The Dick Van Dyke Show: A home front example appears in "The Alan Brady Show Presents". When Mel comes in to tell the writers about the Christmas show, he looks at the smiling Buddy and tells him to let loose with whatever insult he's got brewing. Buddy tells him that he doesn't do that around the holidays. He changes his mind after Mel tells the writers that their script won't be used.

Internally lampshaded by Kaguya in Chapter 54 of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War. Celebrating Shirogane's birthday was something of an unspoken truce in her eyes, but now that it's the day after she has no problem attempting to weaponize the birthday gift she gave him in her latest scheme. Or at least she would if her happiness over Shirogane enjoying the present wasn't overriding every other thought in her head.

Stampy's Lovely World: In the 2017 Christmas Episode, fittingly titled "Christmas Truce?", Hit The Target and Veeva Dash show up at Stampy's Clubhouse for the holiday. Quickly subverted after Stampy discovers that they are robotic replicas and the real ones were out to kidnap the dogs during the holiday season.

M*A*S*H had two episodes set during a Christmas truce.
"Death Takes a Holiday", had Hawkeye, B.J. and Margaret trying to keep a mortally-wounded soldier alive long enough so that he wouldn't die on Christmas Day while Charles attempted to continue his family's tradition of anonymous giving to the poor.
"'Twas the Day After Christmas" was a more light-hearted episode where the officers and enlisted men switched jobs for a day. Potter even mentions that they can do this because there is a Christmas Truce in effect so other than a few patients in Post-Op things are expected to be quiet.
Another episode, "Dear Sis", has Father Mulcahy gloomily noting (in a letter to his sister) that both sides tend to "get in as much destruction as they can" before one of these takes effect.

Kim Possible's Christmas episode plays with this; both Kim and Shego take the holiday off, but Drakken has no qualms about launching a new evil scheme, causing Ron to try taking him on solo. Ultimately the two of them wind up crash-landing at the North Pole, are forced to cooperate to survive, and when they're found and rescued Drakken announces a formal truce after all.

In Snowpiercer, the guards briefly interrupt the axe fight in order to celebrate New Year's. Then they go right back to fighting. And then it turns out that the train, once every year, crosses a long tunnel and the guards are planning to exploit the resulting blackout.

One issue of Runaways (Rainbow Rowell) sees the team trying to throw a Christmas party while under house arrest by the Seed, their latest nemeses. Not wanting to be bad sports, they make sure that their guard, Gib, receives a present during the party. This ends up benefiting them, as Gib turns against the other members of the Seed, enabling them to survive the battle.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: It's mentioned on the Halloween episode that most of the monsters on Sunnydale consider the day to be a "day off" (which is the reason Buffy and the rest of the Gang decide to go trick-or-treating). Unfortunately for the Slayer, it's more of an unwritten rule and Spike decides to disobey it. More unfortunately, Ethan Rayne enchants some costumes and turns Buffy (among others) into the people they disguised as, making her harmless. Unfortunately for Spike, Giles destroys the enchantment before he can do much more than gloat that he has Buffy corralled, which gives him a quite humiliating beat-down in response.
