Board 8 > Best of the Trope Season 2: Day 11 - How the Character Stole Christmas

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope!

Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up.

Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Just bear in mind that I may close trope nominations temporarily if the list gets too long. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list.

Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done in Season 1. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope

Here is the current list of tropes.

Evil Brit
Jack-of-All-Stats
Karmic Death
Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain

Today's trope is How the Character Stole Christmas. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HowTheCharacterStoleChristmas

Any story in a show that is a take on How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (even if it's a different holiday).

Basically, a villainous character attempts to stop a beloved holiday from coming by stealing all the material elements of the occasion. However, he is stunned to see that all his victims care about is the holiday's true spiritual significance, which he could not steal. The villain is so profoundly moved that he has a change of heart, returns all his loot without prompting and is welcomed to celebrate the occasion with his former victims.

TL,DR: A parody of How the Grinch Stole Christmas with the cast of another series.
