Mojo Jojo steals presents in his sled on Generic Tree Lighting Day in his sled but changes his tune after having a dream featuring three ghosts. When he wakes up, he tries to give all the presents back and be nice, only for the townsfolk to complain that he didn't set fire to the town's tree.

* Non-malicious example in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''. While Stitch did steal all the presents in town in the episode "Topper", it wasn't to steal or ruin Christmas, it was because inside one of them is [[GottaCatchThemAll one of Jumba's experiments]], still in unactivated pod form. Because the present was intended for [[BigBad Dr. Hamsterviel]], Gantu stole Stitch's stolen presents, and the whole attic they were stored in. But it was all for naught, the present containing Experiment 025's pod was still at the gift wrapper's.

* A minor example: The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' "Tanks for the Memories" has Rainbow Dash trying to stop winter from coming so she can keep her pet turtle from hibernating. At one point she makes a face reminiscent of the Grinch's.

It includes the aspect of stealing some strappings of the holiday, although in this case it's to use as components for her memory-erasing spell.
