Twisted Christmas	comment	A Darker and Edgier version of Christmas in a work, for added irony. Christmas being the biggest celebration of love, family, and happiness, it can further increase a single character's personal misery if he experiences totally opposite emotions. In extreme cases, this can mean death, torture, rape, and more death. In shows with more everyday themes, it might be loneliness, failed relationships, and depression. Sometimes this doesn't just affect one person but everyone. British Soap operas in particular have a reputation for making Christmas a time of death, divorce, infidelity, and violence, which explains why some of them have their own sections below. At least one person will end up dying, getting knocked down, or crying all alone on the happiest day of the year and almost always with a carol or jolly Christmas song over these images just to hammer it home. Maybe somebody's house will go down in flames. Maybe somebody's Genre Blind enough to actually get married. That's the Spirit of Christmas for you. In general, Foils, Keets and other comic relief characters can rest well knowing that they're not likely to die and will get to celebrate Christmas as it should be, but there's still a chance of them getting traumatised in time for Christmas dinner. Or during Christmas dinner. In Doylist terms, this isn't necessarily done just to be depressing and cynical for the sake of it: it's also done so audience members whose own Christmases are miserable in unremarkable ways can have the satisfaction of knowing that someone else's Christmas is even worse than theirs. Having to be hospitable to relatives you resent, graciously receiving presents you neither need nor want, and the inevitable mountain of leftover turkey will feel like lenience by the closing credits. Snow Means Death is a frequently used motif in such settings. Bad Santa and An Ass-Kicking Christmas are more humorous/badass takes on the concept. The Christmas section of Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday has some of the most brutal examples. To fit the theme, the score for tense or scary moments may involve Chaos of the Bells. Crappy Holidays is a downplayed version; characters aren't in any danger but aren't having any fun either. See also Anti-Christmas Song and Did I Mention It's Christmas?.

Or at least not for Homelander, whom Omni-Man subjects to one of the cruelest and most gruesome deaths in series history.

The team doesn't seem too put off by it until they find out he was just a victim in someone else's robbery ploy, and Angela even jokes that she won't let Santa ruin Christmas. An earlier episode had Hodgins accidentally exposing the team to a potential biohazard, meaning they all had to stay in isolation during Christmas, getting only a few minutes to see their families through glass. This episode revealed that Brennan, beyond just being an atheist, doesn't celebrate Christmas because her parents went missing shortly before the holiday and her brother Russ had gone out of his way to give her as normal a Christmas as possible- accidentally tricking her into thinking they'd come home.

On Christmas Eve, Karen discovers the expensive necklace her husband secretly bought was meant not for her, but for his sexy young secretary. In the Flash Forward at the end, their marriage remains notably strained, though she smiles through it. Sarah attempts to start a relationship with her long-time crush on Christmas Eve, but is unable to due to his inability to put up with the many phone calls from her mentally-ill brother. Her storyline ends on a bittersweet note, as she spends Christmas with her brother in the psychiatric ward.

Twisted Christmas / int_46037ffe	comment	Scrooged, which is a modern take on A Christmas Carol. Frank's resentment of Christmas (and love of television) came as a result of his disinterested parents, especially his father who regarded anyone who didn't work (including his underage son) as lazy. To make things even bleaker, years later around Christmas Frank ended up choosing his career over the love of his life, which left him jaded until the Ghosts came. It wasn't much better for Elliot Loudermilk, who was fired on the spot for questioning Frank, had his wife leave him because of it, got robbed of both his money and his booze (which he sold his blood to pay for), and ended up buying a shotgun to shoot Frank with in revenge. It works out for him in the end. Frank (by now a reformed man) rehires him in a better position and enlists his help in performing a Hostile Show Takeover.

Two years later we have the same thing, except replace Joker with Scarecrow and the Holiday Killer with the Hangman. And the energy Bruce devotes in trying to stop both in turn heavily strains his relationship with Selina Kyle when he winds up standing her up on Christmas Eve.

The first game involves a quick plot detour to help Melissa celebrate the Christmas she missed. The second games play it a little more with Kyle dealing with his misgivings about the holiday, due to his father being murdered around that time when he was a kid.

A later episode has Steve accidentally kill Santa, with Santa swearing revenge after being revived. They manage to take refuge in a mountain man's home and fend off his forces long enough for Christmas day to arrive, meaning Santa has to end his onslaught and leave. The next Christmas episode has the Smiths realize that fighting for their lives to survive Santa's wrath has become their Christmas tradition.

Twisted Christmas / int_691be369	comment	The X-Files: The first Christmas episode (actually a two-parter) falls victim to this in the worst kind of way. It starts with Scully spending the holidays with her brother and his wife in San Diego. They're expecting a baby and are very exciting, unknowingly digging the proverbial knife deeper for Scully, who has just found out that she is unable to conceive. A mysterious phone call leads Scully to a murder mystery, in which the parents of a sick 3-year-old die in quick succession. The little girl looks an awful lot like Scully's sister, Melissa, who had been killed two seasons before. So, Scully has some DNA tests run. While they run, Scully tries to adopt the orphaned Emily but is denied. When the tests come back and reveal that Emily is actually Scully's daughter, things get worse. The little girl has an incurable form of anemia, which would be bad enough except when taken to the hospital, an entire conspiracy involving surrogate mothers taken from the local nursing home and alien hybrids is discovered after Emily's blood burns an ER doctor. On top of that, Emily has a growth that's shutting down her body systematically. The final scene is her funeral, which happens just after Scully's sister-in-law gives birth to Scully's nephew. Quite possibly one of the most depressing Christmas episodes. Their only other Christmas episode also has depressing themes, though is markedly less Tear Jerker and more comedic. The episode's premise is a lover's murder/suicide pact, which two ghosts are trying to get Mulder and Scully to re-enact.

In Lexmas, it started out fine with we seeing Lex's perfect future, then let's just say Lex thinks money and power are the only things that could help him hold on to that, triggering his Start of Darkness. The episode actually starts with Lex being critically injured by a gunshot. In Gemini, Chloe and Jimmy are trapped in an elevator with a bomb, complete with Soundtrack Dissonance. Clark saves them, of course. Only that it is not Clark, but Bizarro, who only wants Chloe alive so she could help him track down Brainiac to defeat Clark.

Twisted Christmas / int_7965bb13	comment	Citadel of the Heart, in a Mythology Gag to the aforementioned example from Sword Art Online, depicts a flashback of such events dating back to December 24th, 1954 in the fic Sword Art Online: Special Edition. The circumstances, however, are vastly different from the canon Twisted Christmas. Grandis, one of the Ultimorian Deities, is captured and given some strange microchip into his system, which promptly awakens him and causes him to go berserk, eventually going from his near undead looking Phase 1 form to his Humongous Mecha Phase 4 form, in an attempt to escape from the experimentation done to him by his Arch-Enemy Dr. Devoniak. While Dr. Devoniak manages to subdue Grandis with the laboratory's own machines, eventually breaking his will to struggle further to escape, Grandis, in an increasingly sobbing tone, cries himself to sleep as narcotics take effect, quoting "Frosty the Snowman" in doing so.note (Grandis is only familiar with the story and song in 1954 because of the fact he has all of the author's knowledge on such media (among who knows what else), since the author was born in 1994 and this chapter was posted in 2017)

Twisted Christmas / int_8125b468	comment	Yes, Batman gets his own folder. Christmas is NEVER a happy time for Batman. Not only is it an emotional time for him since the loss of his parents, but supervillains LOVE to stir up crap during Christmas time (especially guys like The Joker, Mister Freeze, and the Calendar Man). Here's a few examples of Batman stories set in Christmas time, both in comics and other media: The Long Halloween: Both The Joker on a crime spree and the Holiday killer are active during Christmas in this story. Two years later we have the same thing, except replace Joker with Scarecrow and the Holiday Killer with the Hangman. And the energy Bruce devotes in trying to stop both in turn heavily strains his relationship with Selina Kyle when he winds up standing her up on Christmas Eve. Batman: NoÃ«l, Yet Another Christmas Carol, where Bruce is Scrooge dealing with the Joker. The Holiday Special of The Batman Adventures, a Mister Freeze story. Detective Comics #826, in which Tim Drake ends up accidentally driving around Christmastime Gotham with The Joker. Legends Of the Dark Knight #79 "A Slaying Song Tonight" in the anthology book Batman: Black and White opens with a splash panel of a skinny, wild-eyed Santa Claus hiding a machine gun in his sack, going on to reveal that this is a hitman who plans to get near his target by taking the place of a rent-a-Santa hired to put in an appearance for the target's daughter. The very second episode of Batman: The Animated Series, Christmas With the Joker, and the later episode Holiday Knights. Batman Returns opens with Penguin being dumped in the river on Christmas. The film's present-day is set during Christmas time as well. Batman The Animated Series for the Game Boy sees the third level take place during Christmas, right as Poison Ivy takes a pre-Two-Face Harvey Dent hostage while Batman gets tangled up with Catwoman when he crosses her path during a robbery. The Christmas episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold reveals that Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered on Christmas, while Bruce was sulking over not getting the toy he wanted. ...though a later episode then Retcons that to show that he perked up a moment later so that he could have a last happy family moment before his parents were murdered. Wait, is that better? Batman: Arkham Origins is set during Christmas in Batman's second year as a crimefighter. There are 8 assassins in town, he's dealing with 2 mob bosses, the hopelessly corrupt police force want him dead, the Mad Hatter makes his first appearance, Anarky wants to destroy the city, there are two prison riots, and the Joker is behind it all For the Evulz.

Twisted Christmas / int_8d81f086	comment	Monk: Monk's wife was murdered during the Christmas season. By the time the sixth season rolls around and it marks ten years since her death, he's very bitter about the holiday. Specifically in the four Christmas episodes themselves, the series has this thanks to operating on a Victim of the Week basis. "Mr. Monk and the Secret Santa" (2005): One of Stottlemeyer's detectives drinks a bottle of poisoned port that had seemingly been addressed to Stottlemeyer, and is initially suspected to have been sent by an ex-con with a grudge against Stottlemeyer. Making it worse is that the detective is a family man who had just gotten back together with his wife, and the reason he was killed was that he'd been having an affair with the cop who organized the Secret Santa exchange, and she wasn't happy about him dumping her. "Mr. Monk Meets His Dad" (2006): Monk is reunited with his dad, who has become a truck driver out of Texas since leaving his family. It's an awkward reunion that is further compounded when it turns out Jack's boss has been skimming from the trucking company, accidentally murdered another colleague who found out about it, and is having Jack be his patsy driving the truck he used that day so as to get rid of evidence linking him to the crime. "Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa" (2007): It's the tenth anniversary of Trudy's death, so Monk is already in a bad mood when, whilst stuck in traffic with Natalie and Julie, a man in a Santa suit begins tossing presents down on the street below. Monk goes up to confront the guy, but things go from bad to worse as the Santa has a gun on him, and Monk is forced to shoot him in self-defense with said gun after a fight breaks out. Monk thus finds himself being made a social pariah by the press as he tries to clear his reputation and solve the crime. "Mr. Monk and the Miracle" (2008): A homeless man is murdered, and his friends come to Monk to ask for help solving his death. While this is going on, Stottlemeyer is having back problems and is distanced from his family to the point his son doesn't pick up the phone. And the fountain at a monastery has begun to instantly cure anyone who drinks water from it. It all turns out to be a scam run by Stottlemeyer's pharmacist, who killed a partner who stole money from him years prior and buried his body where the fountain was erected. With the monastery planning to construct new classrooms on the fountain site, he enacted a major fraud using his patients as patsies, and he also killed the homeless man Monk is investigating because said man caught him painting a sign on Stottlemeyer's front door.

The resulting battle sees the loss of Leo Shishioh, all but one of the Mic Sounders series, and (seemingly) the J-Ark and its crew.

Just for starters, Scrooge is far more evil in this version, from his past as a criminal (where he and Marley preyed on impoverished small businesses, buying them for low prices via blackmail before demolishing them for profit) to blackmailing Mrs. Cratchit to strip for him in exchange for the money needed for Tiny Tim's operation.

Twisted Christmas / int_a144cb39	comment	Moral Orel: The (intended) first season finale, ironically titled "The Best Christmas Ever" is about Orel's parents deciding to separate after Clay confronted Bloberta with the (completely true) accusation that Shapey wasn't his son. Ultimately they choose to stay together for appearance's sake, despite both of them being miserable. This was the show's first hint of its oncoming Cerebus Syndrome. The ending is Orel waiting for God to grant a Christmas Miracle (with two minutes left) while looking up at the sky. It's implied nothing happens. A year later was slightly better for Orel, in which he found a true father figure in Coach Daniel Stopframe, but he still had to deal with the fact that his father is an abusive jerk and that he'll be limping for the rest of his life because of his father's neglect. (Then again, those facts are true because Orel had a Twisted Easter weekend where his father shoots him and then was too drunk to get Orel medical treatment for an entire day, so it evens out.) It's arguably worse for Clay; he finally comes to terms with his bisexuality and confesses his love for Daniel, only for Daniel, who by this point also knows how abusive Clay is, to reject him, potentially ruining his marriage to Bloberta in the process. Ultimately, it doesn't end up spoiling Christmas for Orel, as he's seen in the Distant Finale celebrating it with his childhood sweetheart Christina, his son, and his newborn daughter.

Twisted Christmas / int_a32b6a64	comment	The West Wing did these quite frequently in its early days, frequently using its Christmas episodes to tackle personal tragedies head-on—producing some of its most effective Tearjerkers in the process. Season 1's "In Excelcis Deo", for example, revolves around Toby organizing a military funeral for a homeless Korean War veteran. Season 2's "NoÃ«l" is about Josh reluctantly seeing a therapist for help in coping with PTSD after he suffers a complete mental breakdown on Christmas, to the point that the constant cheery Christmas carols flooding the hallways of the White House trigger severe traumatic flashbacks to his recent shooting. Season 3's "Bartlet for America" is a flashback episode involving Leo's alcoholism and Bartlet's multiple sclerosis. Season 4's "Holy Night" has Toby dealing with an unexpected visit from his estranged, former career criminal father, and CJ and Leo trying to stop a news story proving the Bartlet administration's involvement in Shareef's assassination.

A big part of the reason for Scrooge's hatred and resentment of Christmas is that his father often left him at school for the Christmas holidays, where he had to spend the festive season by himself. During the story, he sees some pretty horrifying sights, starting with the miserable, wailing spirit of his dead friend and ending with his own grave.

Fortunately, as the story unfolds, things turn out for the better and the trope is ultimately averted... although in the Framing Story's end Smurfette mysteriously disappears when the lights in the dining hall go out. "A Wild Winter Solstice" sets itself up for a possible Twisted Winter Solstice, as Empath during his first visit to the Smurf Village is lost and injured somewhere in the Smurf Forest and is being taken care of by Wild Smurf, whom Empath first encounters but keeps his existence a secret for years, while the Smurfs search the forest for days in the hopes of finding him. Again, things work themselves out in the end and the trope is ultimately averted. Played straight in a mini-story where an elderly Tapper passes away around Christmas and the Smurfs have a memorial service for him.

Twisted Christmas / int_ec717cf6	comment	Averted on offbeat British soap Night and Day. Since the show progressed at a slower pace than real life and therefore hadnâ€™t actually reached Christmas by real-time December 2001, it used the episodes that aired over that period to explore the events of the previous Christmas in Thornton Street, through the power of flashback. A refreshing change from the usual festive soap misery, which also provided an opportunity to bring more depth to many of the characters and storylines.

Twisted Christmas / int_ed1f519e	comment	How the Grinch Stole Christmas!: Played with. The Grinch, who hates Christmas, tries to make it a sad Christmas for the Whos below by stealing all their presents, decorations, and food. But the Whos, despite being robbed, are still happy because they can still sing and be together on Christmas. This causes the Grinch to understand the true meaning of Christmas and give everything back.

Twisted Christmas / int_ef076a36	comment	In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Mortal Coil" (which in real life aired one week before Christmas), the crew is preparing to celebrate the Talaxian equivalent Prixin, when Neelix is killed in a shuttle accident. Seven of Nine revives him, but Neelix has no memory of experiencing the afterlife which all his life he has believed in, and later has a dream that says all his beliefs are a lie and there's no point in living. As Neelix is almost driven to suicide, Chakotay convinces him that the dream might have simply been Neelix's own fears being reflected back to him and it is not meant to be taken as the truth.

Twisted Christmas / int_efbfeffd	comment	D'LIRIUM begins with little Ponies celebrating New Year's Eve.note The game developers are Ukrainian, where most of the traditions associated with Christmas were moved to New Year's Eve during the days of the Soviet Union However, When the Clock Strikes Twelve all the protagonist's friends are killed and gutted, and the festive mansion is transformed into an Eldritch Location crawling with demons. Only the occasional holiday tree and present box, or a series of lights hanging limply from the ceiling juxtaposed against bloody sigils and mutilated bodies remind the player of what the holiday they were supposed to be celebrating was before it all went to hell. To hammer the point home, if you get a game over, you get a shot of the corpse of the player character hung from holiday lights.

Possibly the single most depressing example in history that didn't involve someone dying (and also subtly subverts Away in a Manger.)

Arthur dies in Merlin's arms after finally recognizing Merlin for all he did, leaving Gwen to rule Camelot alone and Merlin to await his destined return, up to the modern day. In addition, Gwaine dies after being tortured for information, and Morgana finally dies by Emrys/Merlin's hand, a fate she had tried to avoid.

Twisted Christmas / int_f502a38a	comment	It takes "Haunted Smurfs" (a semi-dark 1980s cartoon show episode) and turns it into "A Haunted Christmas", with the Smurf Village tragedy of losing the storehouse to a fire happening sometime prior to Christmas, which makes things pretty dismal for Smurfette since this would be her first Christmas with the Smurfs. Fortunately, as the story unfolds, things turn out for the better and the trope is ultimately averted... although in the Framing Story's end Smurfette mysteriously disappears when the lights in the dining hall go out.

Twisted Christmas / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5 ended up with this due to the gimmick of each season covering exactly one calendar year in show chronology, and its desire for big end-of-season cliffhangers. First season: The President of the Earth Alliance is assassinated by a fascist conspiracy, Mollari begins to seriously fall into evil, Delenn enters a cocoon, and Garibaldi is shot in the back by a treacherous underling. Second season: The Earth Alliance continues to descend into fascism and appeases the Centauri, Sheridan gets into trouble with the government by attacking a Centauri ship to defend a fugitive Narn one, the Centauri try to kill Sheridan, and the Vorlons and Shadows are outed in public. Third season: Sheridan launches a suicidal attack on the Shadow capital city, and Garibaldi is abducted by an unknown force. Fourth season: Nothing much happens, but if J. Michael Straczynski had got confirmation of a fifth season early enough that he didn't have to potentially wrap up the story, the season would have ended with a Christmas Episode consisting entirely of Sheridan being tortured and ending with it continuing indefinitely.

The creatures that appear during the season are even more threatening than usual, from a gigantic cat that will devour you if you haven't received new clothing, to a woman who will stuff your intestines with stones and straw for being "wicked" (which includes being messy around the house), to warriors in chainmail armor that will drag you to be drowned if you're not merry enough around Christmas.

Jack Skellington and the well-meaning citizens of Halloweentown volunteer their services at Christmastime, but since their idea of a fun holiday varies wildly from that of Santa and his helpers and they don't know what the holiday is actually about, the end result involves a skeletal impostor Santa, toys that frighten children, tentacled Christmas wreaths, and a giant, tree-eating snake, all of which ruin Christmas for everyone. It gets better once Santa is saved, but still.
