Prime's Alpha Trion disguise fooled few.

Christmas is a holiday celebrated by humans on December 25, commemorating the birth of someone called "Christ", who is considered God. It seems to revolve around the exchange of material goods, the slaughter and festooning of conifers, and the consumption of roasted avians. Autobot intelligence suggests that at this time, humans gather together and don't shoot each other.

More importantly, Christmas is the focus of a powerful "spirit" manifesting in charity, goodwill, and appreciation. Even hardened Decepticon warriors and vengeance-driven humans are subject to its influence. Such spirit is manifest in a saint, named Santa Claus, who travels over the world bearing gifts.

Some Autobots have been known to don a red outfit with a bushy, white beard, imitating Santa Claus as part of the Christmas ritual.

Another human custom, Black Friday, is rumored to be the busiest day of shopping for the material goods needed for exchange on Christmas.

Notes

  • One Christmas season (somewhere between 1986-1992), Hasbro's Boys' Toys Marketing department internally passed out green-chromed Beachcomber and blue-chromed Seaspray toys as Christmas ornaments with a string attached to them. They were bagged with a card that read "Transformers Christmas ornament" on one side and "Merry Christmas from the Boys' Toys Marketing" on the other side.
  • For Christmas 2013, The Hub aired a special "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" video yule log. This hour-long special consisted of music and cameo appearances by several characters or pieces from Hub properties in addition to the ponies themselves. Among the characters who made cameos were Beast Hunters Bumblebee (who beeped as he drove across the screen), Rescue Bots Blades (who stumbled onto the screen before being pulled back off), Strawberry Shortcake, Lil' Bat (mascot for The Aquabats), a Sorry! game piece, a character from "Pound Puppies", the main lead from "SheZow!", and several characters from the "Littlest Pet Shop" cartoon. This special was aired back-to-back for four hours on Christmas morning, possibly as a means of giving the bulk of the network staff a chance to spend Christmas morning with their families.
