Line 48:
* The eponymous character of ''[[Monk]]'' hated the Christmas season, although he had a very sympathetic reason for doing so, as it was around that time of year that Trudy, his wife and pretty much the only person who ever had him see the positives of Christmas, was murdered via Car Bomb, and his early experiences with Christmas were admittedly quite horrible (for instance, in 1964, his mother fell ill, his dad was what he usually was, and Ambrose Monk locked himself in the basement for the whole Christmas season [Monk implies by saying "he was no fool" that Ambrose did this deliberately], and he himself received [[Convenience Store Gift Shopping|only one walkie talkie out of a set]], which his dad explained that he gave the gift to him because he only ever needed one because he didn't really have any friends).
* Britta on ''[[Community]]'' makes a series of rather smug and snide dismissals of the trappings of the festive season, such as Christmas songs, see her come off as a bit of a killjoy. Curiously, in the Christmas episode in season 1 ("Comparative Religion") she came off as a lot more easy-going about it.
* A common characteristic of ''[[Power Rangers]]'' villains:
** In the original ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', Lord Zedd complains about Christmas every year, according to Rita, but one year he decides to invade Santa's workshop and impose his ideal Christmas on the world. The heroes naturally are in hot pursuit, despite Zordon's warning that the North Pole [[Eldritch Location|has a "unique polarity" that leaves them unable to morph. Fortunately, the bad guys have the same disadvantage, and are defeated via a snowball fight.
** King Mondo from ''[[Power Rangers Zeo]]'' is even worse. In the Christmas episode, he robs the presents from Angel Grove to please his [[Spoiled Brat]] of a son, and imposes a [[Hate Plague]] upon the heroes to make them argue.
** In ''[[Power Rangers Dino Charge]]'', Poisandra has a personal grudge against Santa, stealing his computer after being denied presents. Santa, it seems, keeps his "naughty/nice list" on it, and never made a backup, meaning he'd have to cancel Christmas if he can't get it back.
* Count Dregon, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Masked Rider]]''. One of his evil plans is an attempt to set an ambush for Santa Claus. He is confirmed as this Trope when the plan fails, when he says outright that he "hates Christmas".
