"Everybody *loves* Christmas in July!" ---Jen, 6Teen
This particular trope's come up occasionally in a few cartoons, so I was wondering what cartoons have made use of "Christmas in July", i.e. having St. Nick, seasonal festivities, etc. show up in July...
What I can think of:
- The 1979 Rankin-Bass animated feature "Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas In July", featuring the two trying to save a seashore circus around the Fourth of July. Seemed to be a "wrapup" for the various classic Rankin-Bass specials, as various previous specials are made in this one (Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, the Year without a Santa Claus, Frosty's Winter Wonderland, Rudolph's Shiny New Year)...
- The 6Teen episode "A Lime to Party" features Caitlin trying to think of a way to save the Lemon from going under to Jonesy's new job, the "Party Lime." Jen suggests "Christmas in July" as a theme---cue the gang sitting around in Santa hats, looking miserable (with cheesy synthesized version of "Deck the Halls" playing). Funny...
- The "Garfield and Friends" episode "Heatwave Holiday": to keep cool, Jon, Odie and Garfield get the idea to celebrate Christmas in the middle of summer... which somehow gets carried away to the rest of the town...
Any other examples?
