Yes, it's a stretch, but the 1983 comedy Trading
Places does take
place at Christmas and features at
least one very
funny scene of Dan Aykroyd drunk in a Santa suit.
Unless, for example, people see something like the Dust Bowl happening all over the
place, or they start seeing outbreaks of pandemics like Ebola in the US (
funny that west nile virus hasn't done this, since it's spread is tied to mosquitoes lifetimes becoming longer,
least according to what I have read)
